WHOA!!. NICE find! If I could star ya I would! doesn't look like ANY plane, of any kind that i've ever seen!

Right of the bat, there NOTHING on it that looks like it's even CLOSE to being aerodynamic!

2). it's using cloud cover. As I suspected, need to keep listening to my hunches..

3) if it's not point 2 above, then it's following the plane.


could you tell if it was stationary or staying within a certain distance from the plane??

Moved back.

When you are able, can you send the raw file from the camera and not something linked on Flickr? That would help with figuring out what it is.

I guess we can only assume that this is the raw footage. I don't have the software to check if it's CGI or not.

anyone else have or know how to check to see if it is ??

Quite obviously a water drop on the window.

Water tends to condense onto the window because it's cold.

There is a bright ball of light upper right.
Interesting photo.
Looks oval shape perhaps.
Ever since this oval shape was suggested I've been using
it or just used it in the last to threads on ATS.

Little bits around the edge or underneath along the edge.
A bright spot going from one edge (the front?) to the top.

No its not on the window judging from the picture id say triangular at about 45000 ft due to earth curvature in background. Could be faked but if it is its a good job.

Will take a closer look later to see how it stands up to diffrent filters.

But it doesn't look to be attached to the window. It looks like it's about 1300-1400 feet away from what I see. Nice picture, S&F for you.

Could that be a chip in the outer portion of the of the twin-paned window?

It doesn't look like it could fly - but I guess if its a UFO then it wouldnt have to abide by our physics.

Just my thoughts.

Look at the original picture. I'm seeing rings around the supposed aircraft. Is anyone else seeing these rings? Leads me to believe that maybe all is not what it seems.

Also the reflection of the sun on the engine cowling of the plane. I think that more of the craft would be illuminated by the sun if it were quite a distance away. Based upon the picture alone, I would have to say that this is not an arial craft.

He supposedly didn't see it at the time of shooting, but found it afterwards. It COULD be a droplet of water but from the looks of the other smudges and stuff on the window it's doubtful, especially since it is the ONLY droplet there.. Interesting, but at this point who knows! :p

Great shot though OP.

I may be wrong, it might not be a water droplet, but the most rational explanation would be that it is something on the window. Let's get analytical.

It's impossible to tell how far away it is. There may be a false sense of depth because it looks like an object which you'd expect to be large. To prove this, imagine it being a reasonable sized saucer craft. Feels like it's quite a distance away from the airplane, doesn't it?

Now imagine it's something small, placed on the window. Feels just like it is. So we can't really tell it's distance.

However, apparently he didn't see the object when he took the picture. If you're taking a picture out the window, you'd most likely be looking that way aswell. If that thing actually was out there, it would not be hard to miss it. If that thing was on the window, it would most likely be ignored.

Conclusion: it's on the window.
