Bournemouth (UK/England) · United Kingdom

Dear Sir, I am submitting this video (also on YouTube) in an effort to get it analysed for optical anomalies. By by I was unaware of this during filming and still shots. Ft Note deer running off in background. The footage although not witnessed by the photographer at the time, doesn't seem to be related to the panning movements of the camera. There are also "sparks" in amongst the grass some of which are apparently in shaded areas during the sunset. At one point the object seems to illuminate the surrounding area. In the still there are at least three "blobs" underneath the main object which first is seen to the right of the sun, then in the second shot it is above the sun and appears to a darker form above it. I was wondering if it isn't an optical aberation, if it might be something stranger. This event, if a real strange phenomenon occured during a police search for a missing person who unfortunately had passed on and was discovered in the undergrowth in this vicinity. Just to add, many people love and cherish this person always. Any educated views (optics expertise/ ufology/ orbs?) would be greatly appreciated. I posted a precis of my previous UFO experiences on a well know Canadian site, and know the former group captain who posted his sighting of the cross of Lorraine shaped UFO seen by another witness in Aquitiri, Cyprus, in 1974 (also on your site). I don't mind you knowing my details if I can help. Regard and thanks based in Bournemouth, UK. Sent from my Huawei Mobile
