Digital image.
Photograph: Photographed thunderheads around sunset. Series of four images taken with Sony F717 within lessthan a minute.
Only second image has the object. Fast mover. Looks like a bit of a black triangle.
This is a 5 megapixel camera so it can stand decent enlargement. The object takes form at enlargement and shows disturbed air around it. I didn't realize it was there until I inspected the images the following week.
Full Report Text:
Red, white and blue unmoving orb.
It was a red, blue, and white unmoving orb over the south of town. It comes and hovers every Wed.
night. It shows up around night fall and will change colors once every 2 or 3 min. No it is not a star or a plane, If it were a plane it would move after 3 HOURS!!! If it were a star it would not change colors or be visable on starless nights.
((NUFORC Note: Report is not inconsistent with a sighting of the star, "Sirius," we believe. PD)).
Full Report Text:
A bright light in the sky, mid-afternoon, moved unbelievably fast and was gone.
I was driving in my car with my aunt to go pick up my kids from preschool, when I saw to the right, extremely high up in the sky was a brillant light, mind this was in mid-afternoon, it was very small though. I pointed it out to my aunt and she said that it was a plane, and I remember telling her that it was offly bright, unless we just got a view of it where the sun was reflecting off of it or something.
But then, about 10 seconds later, it was further away and the brightness of it faded, and then it was gone. The whole sighting of whatever this thing was was less than 20 seconds. It could have been some sort of aircraft of ours, but I have never heard of anything, WE have invented that moves that fast; it was gone without a trace before we had a chance to try to follow it across the sky with out eyes.
