I took a couple of pictures Jan. 3. I was driving and it was a clear cold night and I am stupid enough to take pictures of the stars in the middle of nowhere when the temperature is -40.
Is this a UFO?
When I first saw this, I really didn’t know what it was. Now that I have had time to think about it I think I have it figured out.
Do you have any idea what caused this? Your clues.
- It was not visible to the naked eye.
- This shows up on multiple pictures, but not all of them. I moved the camera between pictures and adjusted the lens
- Canon 20D, 30 seconds at ISO1600
- 11-22mm lens set to 11mm.
- It was fairly dark and clear.
- It was snowy and the moon was reflecting off the snow.
- About 50Km to the nearest small town, much further to the next larger population base.
- About 1:00AM
- -40C/F
If you want an idea of scale, the three bright stars at the bottom running up diagonally, about 1/4 of the way from the left edge are Orion’s belt.
That UFO is HUGE!!!

Surely it’s lens flare, perhaps from the moon? Or from your car? The double-oval suggests some sort of refraction effect… please do tell!
