U.F.O. captured @ 1/1600
© 2006 starriderrick

Purely by accident. Not focused, wrong exposure settings,but...Look to the upper right .

Jet fighter ? Satellite ? Meteor ? Any idea ? The object had to be traveling very fast to leave a trail @ 1/1600sec.
Captured @ 70mm focal length

Rick, I may have seen this same type of thing earlier this week at about 5:30 a.m. down in south San Jose. It had a comet-like shape and it seemed to be coming down, but it wasn't a shooting star. It was under the cloud cover and I saw it fizzle out. Good to know I'm not the only one--thank you for catching this!

Nice colors Rick, relatively an UFO I think may be all... But need the 1000mm lens that Jerry Li uses! You already saw some UFOs on my shots above. Yes, I thinking that not all photos must be sharp and in focus.

Best wishes.

Thank you everyone.
I see what you mean Glenn, :blush2:
I made a mistake, posted this at 3872x2592

I hope I did not blow up any members monitors.

I'll repost this at 1240 res.'

Glenn,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.I usually resize the pics from the D80.

One thing - I was in Auto focus mode.It is blurry.

I was not prepared.

It seems that the small version is o.k. though.Thanks for the great reception, kind comments from you all.
The D80 does grab those colors

Beautiful picture! Congratulations. Unfortunately I could not enjoy the larger image because it kind of jumped out of my monitor.
