ha! Either your being invaded or its my guess that it is time to clean your sensor...there is another one visable in the last photo, just above the "air-vent" or whatever that thing is coming out of the roof....

Hmmmmmmm

Blue screen of death !



There is a tiny little ? smudge - dust ?




I might have to stop pointing my camera at the sky ! , things seem to be sneaking into the picture , unidentified things , the smudge and the bird I know about ...

I have a cleaning kit ordered , can you use canned air ? to blow out the insides of a K5 ? , cos that UFO looks chunky ( Unidentified Foreign Object ? )

Evaporative Cooler --- Has panels that water run through , air is sucked or pulled through the panels and gets cooled by the water running through .
I hate these coolers , they drive up humidity .. Split systems rule !!!!


Hand blower on the way ! Waiting on the slow 747 from HK

Smudge is also dust on sensor. The more you stop down, the more defined it will become. If you are wider than f16 or maybe f11, you probably won't see it at all...

I really hate pointing the camera at the sky ..

I went outside to see what was on the sensor ( blue screen of death ) , saw a bird , took some pictures , came inside , and look'y and another unknown dot in the sky , no wings no nothing ...
Thats the third time now ...
Makes me think about this video footage for some reason

Interesting video and strange that the keep asking if it is a UFO. Well, it's unidentified and it's flying so it's definitely a UFO. They use the acronym UFO as if it is a term reserved for extra terrestrial spacecraft which it is not.

Reminds me of the time I saw a cigar shaped object in the sky. Luckily I had a pair of binoculars with me - it turned out to be a flock of pigeons.
