Leland, Michigan 2003, photo by Mrs. X.
GRAND MARAIS, MICHIGAN – At a meeting of the Michigan Society of Speculative Science (MiSSS), Dr. Werner Unterseeboot of the Institute for Great Lakes Submarine Research announced that his advanced photographic analysis has confirmed the validity of the famous "Windy Beach Photo".
The photo was taken by an unidentified vacationer in the late summer of 2003 in the sleepy village of Leland on Lake Michigan and has been the subject of nearly unending controversy in scientific circles since it came the attention of the scientific community last year.
Appearing fiercely triumphant as he read from a prepared statement, Dr. Unterseeboot (himself the subject of much ridicule) declared "With this photo, my years of research are validated. Without question, we can say what everyone with eyes in their head has known all along: there is an active submarine presence in the Great Lakes. While I am not ready at this time to say who might be operating these vessels, it can no longer be questioned that they are in the Lakes".
The 87-year-old maverick researcher refused an interview, but an employee of the Institute speaking on conditions of anonymity related that the Institute has "literally thousands of photos of submarines from all over the Great Lakes" that will be released as they are validated to a special web site set up by the Institute for Great Lakes Submarine Research.

The kids on the beach aren’t too concerned about the “submarine” headed in their direction.

How long did it take to get the SUB? ungrounded? At the speed it looks like it is going it would have stopped about 30 feet past where the kids are

yeah, there is no way this is real.
The person who made this must have been really bored. That’s fine, i have messed around with paint or photoshop to make funny pics…but this doesnt even look real…the water isn’t even the right color. HA

This is the part where the person who made the photo gets to say: “Think you can do better? Prove it!” ;)

It’s amazing how gullible some people are. But the Photoshop job was poor at best. Note the color of the wake around the sub vs. the color of the waves cresting. Not even close. Of course no one has answered how a sub could even get into Lake Michigan (sorry, Niagra Falls is a bit to steep from the Atlantic side, and the Erie Canal is too shallow. I suppose an alien spacecraft could have placed it there.

I note you completely ignored the secret submarine works in Houghton-Hancock.

This photo is fake. Here is the link to the submarine used to photoshop this picture, which was easily found by searching “Submarine” on google. http://www.techreleased.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/6.jpg

Next year for April Fools Day I think I’m going to do a post about a Dearborn-based scientist who invents an artificial sense of humor to help all these poor folks who’ve tragically been born without one.
