i'm no expert, but it looks to me like dust on the camera lens.....notice how the bottom left edge of the lightning actually goes through the anamoly?

Depends on how you look at it, from my view it is just touching the surface of the object/field. And the strange thing is that electrical objects were malfunctioning at the time of the sighting. It could be a cloaked ship being exposed by lightning. Nice find

Ask yourself, What is the photogragh of? The lightning or the UFO?

Obviously it is a photo taken of the lightning.
Assuming that the mysterious object was extraterrestrial:

You cannot capture lightning with any ordinary camera. You need a time delayed shutter to allow more light in. In otherwords, extended exposure.
If this is the case then we would be left with one of two scenarios.
1) If stagnant, the object would seem solid and in detail, as the camera is allowing more light to pass through the lense. As this is not the case, due to the transparency, let us look at scenario two.
2) If in motion, we would be able to see a transparent outline of the object, followed by a blur.

Due to the understanding of UFO's being able to move at great speeds without much time accelerating, it may be possible to eliminate the latter part of scenario 2. If this is the case, what would we be left with?
Something looking alot like this:


However, that is assuming that the UFO left immediately after the first few micro-seconds. But personally, this doesn't sit well in my books.

The first thing I always do when I find a new "ufo" picture, is check out the exif data in the file.

When I see the words"File written by Adobe Photoshop 4.0", I am inclined to believe it is a hoax.


I am going to look at the image a bit, to see if I see any other telltale signs.

Well, I see a fairly smooth transition from the object to the surrounding areas.

The only place I can really see where it is over pixelized is where the blue fades to black, not a very smooth transition there.

What that means, I dunno.

Also the first thing i do with pictures and movie clips is check it on authenticity. That is were experience in graphics design en the various programs comes in handy, and i can find no part where this picture would be altered. It looks very authentic to me
