Witness Testimony

"I was trying to make my dog jump into the air to get an action shot of her, i do this often & end up with alot of dud photos. i was about to delete this off my camera when i noticed what looks like a large rock in the sky with a blue glow. i did not see this with my naked eye but wish i had so i could have zoomed in on it!
