"UFO" in Picture?
UFO in picture, I took on Monday
Hi, Last Monday May 29th, at about 6:30 pm I took 6-pictures of my latest radio controlled airplane. I had taken it for it's first test flight, but a problem with the fuel tank prevented it from flying. So I decided I'd snap a few pics of it instead to justify the 14mile one way trip to the flying field. I used an older {guess maybe 3-4 yrs. old} digital camera that my neighbor loaned me. I went on to town and used one of those instant photo machines. Anyway, I emailed the pics to a fellow r/c buddy that same night, to show him the plane I'd almost gotten finished. The next evening "Tuesday" I was looking at the pictures just to review my work on the plane, that's when I noticed the UFO. In this picture I took it laying on the ground, with the Sun to the back or West of me. The plane may look big but it's wing is only about 65 inches long. Anyway that Tuesday evening is when I discovered the object in the top/center of this picture. Unfortunately this computer image isn't as clear as the printed picture I'm holding. All of the other pictures are fine and I couldn't find anything like this on them. I've spend 2-hours looking at this image in disbelief. There were four other people at the field at the time it was taken. Being r/c nuts, we always are looking and listening to the Sky, but nobody seems to have noticed or heard this object. I'm wandering if it was so fast we wouldn't have seen it anyway and that would make this picture pure luck. The darkened area really has me! I can't decide if it's a blur from a burst of speed or is it a solid part of the object in the shadow of the front? The shiny silver side has a needle like object sticking vertical through it. Can you tell me whom or where I can get this image enlarged? My computer enlargement is too distorted.
P.S. This was taken in Shelby county Indiana, about 2-miles west of Smithland RD. just off Cementary RD. On May 29th 2006, at 6:30 pm.

*Digital pictures are hard to enlarge without distorting the pixels because the image is saved in bmp form. Maybe through printing, the picture can become enlarged without distortion.
