A blue thing in the sky in Middle, TN.

My friend posted a picture of something she saw in the sky about thirty minutes ago. This is in Nashville, TN and it was in the Southern part of the sky. I didn't see it myself, as I'm not in Nashville right now, but the street seen in the picture is heading roughly Southeast.
I looked up the information for the moon tonight on Skywatch and while it does say it's in the south, the way the moon looks in their picture doesn't really match up with it.

So, any idea what it could be?

She also said that it looks like it isn't moving at all in the sky.

If you need any more information ask me and I'll ask her!

Is this taken from inside a car, cause it looks like a reflection on a windscreen?

My first thought when i saw the picture

Standard ATS answer I know,but nothing more exciting than lens flare I'd say,caused by the brighter of the two street lamps?

It was, but she says she can see it with her own eyes as well.

Again, can be seen with the naked eye.

Interesting image. I doubt she would have taken the picture if she didn't see something she saw as odd.

Actually, she did haha. She says she took the picture and THEN noticed it. But, now she can see it without taking a picture.

It looks like she is taking a picture of the storm clouds and there is a reflection in the window of either some light inside the vehicle or the camera itself....

If she saw it in the sky with her eye.....where is the rest of the story about what happened to it?

Did it just vanish?
Did it fly away and which direction?
Why not more pictures of this object?
Where other people stopping and trying to take pictures or was she the only one who saw it?

I find the lack of details a bit telling that it was simply a light reflection....

Reflection off the windshield. I get the same things from my cell camera, and mine are blue as well. Any chance she could be fibbing about seeing it with her naked eyes?

She posted the picture on facebook and I've been asking her on the post of her picture, but she hasn't responded for a little while. I feel like she would've mentioned if other people were looking and if it moved any. I think she only took three pictures, but she only uploaded this one. She said that in one picture you couldn't see it at all, in one you can barely see it, and then there's this picture. For now all I can do is wait for her to respond again /:

That is a possibility hahah. Someone else just asked her to clarify that she definitely could see it with her own eyes, so we'll see what she says.

EDIT: She just said yes, she could see it with her own eyes. She also said she can't see it anymore where she is, but it was still there the last time she was in a position to see it.

If it is the camera lens reflecting, which i think it is, the only odd thing is, it's offset to the upper right, i would believe it to be more in the center of the pic...?
But that could be because of the windscreens angle or curve.

Well, you must take your friend's word for that I guess, lol. But yeah, why don't things like this happen over populated areas where there would be hundreds of multiple witnesses.....lol.....

my friends son and daughter saw the same thing a few months ago in south jersey at about 2 am while they were playing volleyball in a marathon of sorts.

I am located just outside of Nasville. Yes, I ran outside to have a look at the sky. No, I didn't see anything. Could you be more specific what road this was taken on. Or even what part of Nashville? Interesting picture.

That road that they're on is Murfreesboro Pike, but she didn't remember what intersection. I believe she was in South Nashville at the time, heading towards Murfreesboro. Maybe the Antioch area?

Shes just messing with you.
I guess I don't need to say anymore. Everybody above pretty much wrapped it up.

Yes, really looks like a reflection on the windshield of something inside the car. Like:


...car speakers


...tachometer


...tachometer again...

Etc, etc....
