Unique Artifact Found In Camera Shop - Staff Mystified

Just in today from Perth, Australia.

Staff at the Camera Electronic camera shop in Perth, Australia have been stunned with the appearance of a strange camera in their second-hand cabinet. None of them have seen one like it before, and there is some speculation amongst them on how it got there.

Aliens from Betelgeuse have not been ruled out, but then they never are...

The camera seems to be coated with a titanium finish, and exhibits a strange glow when photographed through the Photoshop Elements program. This finish extends throughout the object, even covering the external surface of the lens barrel.

Even stranger - there appears to be no digital screen on the back of the camera, prompting experts to speculate that it may have been intended for use with a one-use chemically-treated strip of acetate contained in an internal magazine.

The shape of the camera seems to suggest that it might be operated by a hand not dissimilar to that of a human. There is even a thumb lever to actuate the mechanism.

Investigators from NASA and Mythbusters are expected to examine the object. Prospective customers who wish to obtain it for their collection or for use with the acetate strips are advised to get in early and bring their credit cards.
