"I took these pictures in Sun City, AZ on Sept. 8, 2003 of a pretty
sunset (and an odd aerial object) while taking a break from loading
up my pickup truck (close-up above, full image below). My Mom
remarked how beautiful the sunset was and I went inside to get my
digicam. Using the bed of the truck to to steady my hand and the
camera, I took about three dozen photos in all as the light changed
and the sun set.
Neither of us noticed anything unusual in the sky at that time. I
finally got around to browsing the pictures I took that evening,
and was amazed to see a very oddly shaped (?) object clearly
illuminated in the sky in a sequence of some of the first images.
The rest of the pictures I took were cropped with the 'digital
zoom' function of the camera or do not show the area of the sky
with the object. It is actually possible to view the pictures in
chronological order and see the object 'fade in' initially when you
enlarge images 400% or more.
I've never seen anything in the sky (or anyplace else) that I
couldn't explain. This isn't the moon, a planet, a bird, or
anything else I'm familiar with. It appears suddenly then persists
through a series of seven images that were likely taken over the
span of a couple minutes.
I'm an advanced amateur photographer and have been using 35mm
equipment for more than five years. I'm familiar with the
intricacies and dependencies of exposure, depth of field, etc. I've
shot Nikon F2A's, Pentax K1000's, Nikon FG-20's, Pentax ZX-M's, and
a Nikon N70. I know my way around cameras pretty well. I've never
in my life seen something like this, on film or otherwise.
