Good gosh. This is the first time I saw pictures with the cross-hair and the first time I heard of the “conspiracy” involving the cross-hair being in front of objects.
It’s obvious that the part of the cross-hair that is missing is always over a bright, white object. Simply put, the white overexposes the picture, obscurring the cross-hair.
Geezus, I like a good hoax as well as the next person, but this isn’t one. I’m going to use my valuable time shadowing Elvis because he’s much more fun than cross-hairs.
