Been saving this one for a rainy day

This was submitted to me a while ago along with several other UFO images. The only info I have is...

Taken by Mark W. summer of 2002, in Nürnberg Bavaria.
400 ASA color Film from Kodak with a Pentax 1000 k manual Spiegel Reflex Camera



This is the first frame...



Notice the position in relation to the trees...

Here is the second frame...



Frame two Enhanced...



Frame two in Negative



Its one of the best ones I have seen for awhile...

Thoughts?

The blue looks like some kind of glare. Not sure about the green.

Yup! It's raining here!

Nice shots, did Mark hang around long enough to see the light (orb) enter the circle?

S & F for ya!

Those images are interesting, that's for sure! I have absolutely no idea what the circle and green light might be, but they definetely seem to be moving in the sky. Very strange...

Thanks for posting this!

the blue circle is most likely going to be a lens flare from the street light. the Green light *could* be from an aircraft, but i'm not to sure on that.

Pretty confident on the lens flare though.

If you look at the inset image on the first picture, there is another smaller lens flare artifact, and all three artifacts (including the "ufo") are in a perfect straight line leading to the street lamp.

Mr. Zorgon, are you this easily fooled, or expecting us to be?

looks like normal camera anomalies. If you notice there are smaller lens flares in the pic as well down below.

This does not look like clear evidence of anything other than tricks of light.

I wonder if this has something to do with the loud sonic type booms that happen from time to time, with a perfect smoke ring left in the aftermath, just like the glowing ring except usually filmed during the day and only observed to be a perfect large smoke ring. But very intriquing in light of the photos.

I'm not an expert, but I have never seen this sort of "lens flare" as that stand up guy claimed...ever. This needs further investigation from several impartial professional (degreed) film analysts instead of all the non degreed joe blow amateur film analysts here on ATS.

Lens flare?

I have surely never seen a lens flare place itself behind an object, as in the second picture.

It just appears that way because the lowermost tree directly beneath it is so dark that you cannot tell where the flare is over it but on the bits of tree on the far left that are touching it you can see it is not behind it at all.. they are lighter on the tips where that part of the flare overlaps.

Any chance to contact the originator of the pic to ask him what happened after that?

The photo IS interesting: but the circle can really be some artifact: i would prefer to ignore it and focus on the anomaly: likely there's NOT relation between the object and the circle.

Oh wow- I love these pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us!

The object appears to be at the tip of a symetric cone with the circle as it's base. I am wondering, given the angle of the photographer, why the angle of the lens flare would be so symetric. Lucky catch, or are both the object and circle related?

I would also like to suggest that it could be a ground based laser or light beam originating in the distance off to the right.

Seems those were the only two that came out... apparently he has set it up on his balcony on a tripod and was just taking pics ( I believe it was on auto) He did not see the images until three days after when he developed the film.

I will see if I can get hold of him again and get more details, but as he found it after while looking at the film I doubt we can get more.
