Silver, Disc-shaped Object Photographed over Machu Picchu

This photo was taken at Machu Picchu, Peru in early September 2005. It was a beautiful morning with not a cloud in the sky.

As always, I was taking many photos with my Sony Cybershot digital camera, but I didn't notice the object in the photo at the time taking it.

On close examination there appears to be a silver or metallic disc-shaped object in the middle of the photo.

Now the reason I believe that this object is either silver or metallic as there appears to be an area on the object off which the sun appears to be reflecting.

The shot was taken around 9:00 am in the morning and the sun was still rising into the sky from the right hand side of the photo.

Do you see what I see? I spent 6 months traveling across South America, and I can honestly say that I saw some astonishing and unexplainable 'things' in the skies over the Andes and especially whilst touring the Uyuni salt flats, Bolivia.
