Cigar over NM

The report, as filed

A few weeks ago,I viewed an image online that reminded me of a photo i took 8 years ago. I had been photographing a large flock of young crows...hundreds of crows. Ritual-like large flocks twice a year...June and September chase the Black Wooly bear Caterpiller. They flock, dive to the ground and scoop one up then rejoin the flock. I know...very odd. The flock was moving rapidly SW above my roof maybe 150' up. I was using a NIkon 830L digital camera...(basic point and click...fully automatic). Once the birds were gone, i uploaded the images to my desktop. A month or so later i was going through the images and found two that were definitely not birds. The first image was blue sky with the roof-line of my porch roof in the upper left corner. The birds had already crossed the roof-line and were out of camera range. It turns out I clicked 2 imaged like that. To the right of that roof-line there is a white stick in a hazy white ball and to the left of that at about 10:00 there is another hazy white object. Above and slightly to the right of the stick are 3 more hazy white balls. In the center of the top edge there is what appears to be part of another white hazy ball. In the 2nd image you will see the white stick is out of the haze. It appears to glow and is closer to me and to the roof-line. There is another hazy white cloud in the center and the hazy white partial ball at the top edge is slightly larger. Not knowing what i had, I opened each image in my photo software (PhotoScape freeware). FIrst I amplified the contrast, then changed from color image to black and white. Then finally reversed Black & White. The results are the 3rd and 4th images attached respectively. The result of the editing shows several other objects in both photos, including a large object in the center of the 2nd image releasing hundreds of objects into the atmosphere. In the lower right of the last Reversed Black and White image is a triangular shaped craft, which i suspect to be one belonging to the US fleet. This incident and the images has been reported to MUFON. Their preliminary response was that nothing depicted in the images are conventional aircraft or balloons; nor do they know what the objects are. I contacted NASA Science Directorate as well and they requested I forward copies of the photos. I have had no response from NASA-SD yet. I have also posted these images on several social media sights for comment.
