EDGE OF FLYING DISK CAUGHT IN PHOTO.
Description: I was taking pictures of a cloud formation and an object came into view on the far right and then disappeared. It appeared to be a dark metallic saucer shaped craft moving right to left.
Witness Response to Investigator Questions: Thanks for getting back to me. I only have one photo of the object. I took five photos of the cloud and captured the object in the second photo. I saw the object out of the corner of my right eye then it disappeared. At first I didn’t think that I captured the object in the photo until I loaded the photos into my computer. The object appeared to move fast.
Note: Given that the witness actually saw the object adds intrigue to this sighting.

What I find most interesting about this photo is that the line in the center of the object matches the line at the far left of the object indicating to me motion blur caused by the moving object. At the end of a bird wing, the feathers fan out. Object in photo does not do that. If you can find a photo of a bird wing that looks exactly like the one in the photo, please share with me.
Hi: I have since obtained more information from the witness and withdrew my hunch that the object could be a bird. The witness actually saw a disk shaped object when he was taking the photo. He just caught the edge of the object on the extreme right hand side of the photo. The object was moving rapidly left to right.
