SIGHTING: TWISP, WA

Witness Testimony

"Reviewing my digital photo's after a 4 day hike I see in one of them what looks like an UFO, we saw nothing while shooting.Hiking the high range of the Sawtooth mountains west of Twisp WA. we approached a pass just below 8,000'. I stopped to take some pictures of my companions from the top as they summited this pass. All five of us saw or heard nothing unusual. Previewing my images days later I saw something in one shot over the far ridge that was out of place, zoomed up on it and WOW, what looks to me to be a UFO. Images taken before and after of the same view show nothing.I am a Photographer and use Photoshop alot and I know imaging, but I haven’t messed with this image at all other than to zoom up and clip out the UFO section and enhanced the resolution a little. Looking closer I became more convinced that it was something out there in the sun and was 3 dimensional, not on my lens or a digital blurb. The mid day sun was high behind my left shoulder about 15-20 degrees and looking at the clip the object seems to have highlights and shadows matching the sun's position. It also has what seems to be a dark band around it's middle and a light area (aura if you will) around it, especially under it. What do you think? Thanks, I look forward to your reply."
