Im serious, blue on top, white on the bottom and a long sharp bill.

To everyone who thinks it's a dragonfly, I see what you're seeing, but you're being fooled by an optical illusion and ignoring some important details to make that conclusion. what appears to be two sets of wings is really only 1 set of wings. How can you tell? Well that orangish fuzziness that appears in 2 places on the left and looks like it might be 2 wings is the leading edge and trailing edge of one wing, and we can tell this because the wings aren't the only part surrounding the creature with that color, it's a motion blur color that surrounds practically the entire creature.

But even more convincingly, the body shape is wrong for a dragonfly, they are tubular or cigar shapes, and this body shape is more bulbous like a bird, (duck or loon).

And the real clincher if those first two didn't fully convince you, is the bird feet under the creature, dragonflies don't have bird feet, only birds do!

I can't be 100% sure if it's a loon or a duck or possibly another bird, but I'm relatively certain based on the observations I cited that it's not a dragonfly and is most likely a bird. I think the loon is really a pretty decent guess, as is duck, they can look a lot alike and the main difference is size which we can't determine.

I don't see (a little pun there!) how others can say they see a dragonfly, a duck, a loon, and all the other explanations. Not one makes sense. In reality, it's unrecognizable. Unless someone(s) can post a similar photo of a known species such as the dragonfly, the duck, the loon, it's a UFO. No, not a nuts and bolts with aliens inside. It's obviously flying (damn fast, too!), it's an object and it's unidentified. A genuine UFO!

I can do the next best thing, is show you what birds look like at different shutter speeds. You can do the same thing yourself with ducks to confirm it. The bird in this video happens to be a seagull, and even when it's distorted you can still see the white color. It's a short video but if you want you can start playing it at 1 minute where the bird photos start:

Thanks for the video. BUT, the birds' shapes are almost recognizable as they have ergonomic shapes. But the OP's photo shows something more akin to the craft in Star Wars type movies. Actually I just thought of a bird that could possibly leave a similar image except they dive underwater to get their prey. Just before they hit the water they fold their wings back alongside their pointed body and plummet. Can't remember the name of the bird, though.
