SIGHTING: WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"On august 21, 2017, the day of the solar eclipse, my granddaughter and i were outside watching it from my front porch. she was playing and we were taking pictures throughout the day during the eclipse. while we were outside at one point i do remember hearing a very loud boom. did not think much of it as it was the only boom i heard, and we live near a highway, numerous pipelines drilling in area and we even have tranformers on the light poles up the street that blow quite often in the summer, so again i did not think anything much of it at the time. upon later review of the pictures we had taken there was something in one of the pictures. i have closely examined all the pictures from that day and this is the only one with this in it. i am not experienced enough with photo programs to clean it up enough to even begin to think what it is. the photo was taken right off my front porch looking south, it was right above the tree line in the photo. from what i can see in the picture it was ellipsoidal, egg shaped kind of, it appears to have some kind of shadows on the surface of it if you zoom in, kind of appears to be windows or openings of some sort possibly. there is also a trail or white behind it, which does make it appear that it is moving. i'm looking for someone to help clean up the photo or help me with what it could have been."
