UFO: Unidentified Flying Object Possibly Caught On Camera
UFO IMAGE As my earlier post indicates, I was out for the day with the express purpose of taking fall foliage photos with my digital camera.
I live in Central VA and happened to be in Crozet VA taking my first photos when I decided to take a few shots from my car seat.
I had pulled off the side of the road, rolled down my window, held the camera out the window at arms length and began to take several shots of a mountain side. I was not looking at the horizon, but rather was looking the “Display” on my Canon PowerShot A80 in order to aim it. The first two photos were taken 7 seconds apart. At first I had no idea what I had just taken a photo of. I did not suspect anything unusual had occurred. And in truth, I cannot be certain that anything unusual happened at all. That said, the A80 is a digital camera that I use frequently. I am comfortable with it and I know what to more or less expect when I use it.
The temperature outside was app. 60 degrees, and I was aiming away from the sun which was behind me at this point. The time of day was around 1:34 PM.
When I got home, I began to transfer all my images from my camera to iPhoto. I then created a slide show of the pics and uploaded all of them to my web site. I did not edit any of the images, although I frequently love to play with graphics. In this case, the photos were simply stunning and so I left them alone. I used a program called JAlbum to make some thumbnails and then uploaded the entire Album folder to my directory.
It was not until I began to look at my own photos that I noticed something strange in the first few pics.
As you can see, something appears to be afoot with the photo in question. Look at the center of the photo. What does that look like to you?I went back to my original photos and checked them. The originals showed the same thing.OK reader, what I would like to know is this: is this simply a digital anomaly? Do you have any friends who are photographers who could evaluate this?For the record, I took a total of 29 photos today. You can view them all at See UFO photo View the first three thumbnails in succession. Then, look at the third. Is this a photo of a UFO phase shifting?
I am not aware of any sightings being reported on that day. However, I have not heard the news or read the papers. If any of you aware of any sightings being reported in the Central Virginia area on Sat 10 21 06 around 130 PM, then please leave a comment, or email me at webmaster at bluestravels dot com
