Jamaica - 12-10-07

I am a landscape / portrait photographer...

I visited some family in Negril back in December 2007, and while I was walking near the light house I noticed an open courtyard which overlooked the Caribbean sea. I figured this would be a very nice location to capture a few images for my desktop screen.

The sky was perfectly clear and I didn't notice any birds in the sky...

I sat and waited a few minutes for a cargo ship on the horizon to exit my shot ,and then I fired off three frames in rapid succession.

I always bracket my shots in RAW+ high resolution, and this was no exception...

On the screen the images appeared perfect, so I packed up and headed on down the road.

It was when I returned home and was going thru my shots that I noticed that there was an unusual "spec" on one of the three images of which I had captured.

The image I captured was in the second frame.

It drew my attention because my initial reaction was that this ruined the otherwise perfect shot. I think it is more than just a "spec."

I sat on this image for quite some time, however, I did show it to a few of my closest friends joking about capturing a UFO on camera.

Initially I saw the first "spec," but several days later after going back to the original image, I realized that there were two of the objects on the shot with the second apparently further away from my post.

I have gone over this photo many times and tried to find a conclusion as to what could have gotten into my image, but I cannot honestly think of anything that would show like what I have...

I inverted the colors, and this was when I realized that the objects were both apparently very far away, large and solid in shape, and must have been traveling reasonably fast.

I have been shooting photos for several years, and have many shots with birds, planes, etc in the background... This is a first for me.

Regards...
