Details:
I see the images were removed. Yes, I did take those images through a window. So after reading your thoughts on the images I went over to that window and examined it. I did not find any big bird poop, but when I did examine the window with some +1.50 glasses I did find what looked like a very small insect poop which looks exactly like what is on the last image that I took where the insect poop was in focus. I evidently moved just enough from image to image to give the appearance that relative to the tree and home in the images that something was moving through the sky. The reality is that I imaged insect poop on my window! Funny how the camera decided to focus on that. Thank you all for your responses, hope you all have a good day, Mike Olason

I thought it might be a birthday balloon but with the string above it that idea was out. I remember one evening a bunch of flying Chinese lanterns came flying by my house. I first thought we were being invaded by aliens. Got out the binoculars and solved that one.
I like these little photo mysteries here at SpaceWeather.

But why would you even think its anything big in the sky? With it focused on the foreground exclusively, how could it possibly be something further away than a meter? You can even see the scratches in the glass, and some other dots too.

MaxMallon,

I made a mistake, that is all that I can say. I dont take many images through a window and this time I did and it made me look foolish, that is all that I am saying. I have only recently started posting some images of daytime Earth objects that I find interesting and all it has resulted in is a lot of grief to be honest. I dont mind someone disagreeing with me and telling me that I made a mistake, that is a learning experience that I enjoy. That is how we all learn and I appreciate the responses to point out my foolish mistakes when I took the images through a window. Other images that I have taken from outside that have upset some are just their opinion, they can insult me all they want to, doesnt bother me in the least, they say they now someone or read something to the contrary so I must be wrong according to them.

As you can see from most of the images that I show on this group I image comets that are from magnitude 18 to 21 that require 30-120 minutes of image capture time to even see them with a small 11 telescope. I have started trying to do GIF images of these very faint comets so that others can see them move through Earths night sky, makes people who are not familiar with comet ephemeris think that they are real comet images. I dont do many images of bright comets because there are a million images of them floating around.

Bottom line, I have no problem with you pointing out my errors, I appreciate your candor. Thank you,

Mike Olason

orbital,

Thank you for sharing your story. Just like you I thought it might be a balloon or something filled with a little liquid blowing in the upper air tumbling with the wind. But thanks to others I realize my mistake, fun while it lasted, thanks for your nice post, have a good day,

Mike Olason

No worries mike, I think its always good to get a second opinion. Ive seen a couple of UFOs and not had my camera to hand. Couple of years ago I saw a plasma ball or earthquake light, thought I was seeing things till I saw a photo of the exact same thing. Quite exciting! Thanks for your excellent cometary work. Cheers Mark
