Original news
This eerie photograph showing a UFO flashing across the sky was captured by a grandfather who has been left baffled by the 'mysterious object'.
Amateur photographer Michael Potter took the image while photographing the cloud formations above the seaside resort of Mount's Bay in Cornwall.
He was about to delete the picture when he noticed the unexplained flash of light streaking across the sky.
'I uploaded the photos to my laptop and had decided to delete the picture because of the apparent sunspot over part of the image,' he said.
'But just as I was about to press delete I noticed the image on the left of the photograph of what I thought was either an aircraft or the sun shining through the clouds.
'I have showed the image to friends - and from dirt on the lens, sun shining through the clouds illuminating an aircraft, to it being a substantial meteorite we have explored every option,' he said.
'But I took 40-odd photos that day and only this one is blemished. The photo hasn't been Photoshopped or tampered with, so what is the mysterious object?'
The object, which appears to have a triangular shape, appeared in the so-called 'UFO Triangle', an area off the Cornwall coast where spooky sightings are common.
The region has more paranormal activity than anywhere else in Britain, according to the Cornwall UFO Research Group.
Hypotheses
The reflection on the glass
The object may be reflected light or any light source. The type of source (lamp, lantern, lampshade, glare from the mirrors of any shape and .t.n.) and the type of reflective glass in the photo can be crosses, circles, objects bizarre.

Investigation
The photo shows glare and visible primary light source - the sun. However, the object recorded by the Potter, and attracted the attention of lovers of sensations, not like the glare: the light bar, which ends with a bright triangle, located at an angle to all other reflective lines and passes through the sun.
Commentators on the Daily Mail forum was divided into 2 camps: some believe that it is an alien ship, others are trying to explain the phenomenon through a well-known phenomenon. Among the second most popular idea that Potter had caught a meteor.
Unfortunately, the hypothesis that the meteor is not tenable for several reasons: first, the object has a very regular shape, which cannot be explained by its natural origins. And secondly, the meteors mostly burn up in the upper edges of the atmosphere. Immediately the object is located under the cloud layer (its height can be calculated on the basis of article about types of clouds), and it is obvious that he is too big to burn for the remaining time of flight. So, if it really was the meteor, then his fall to the Earth's surface would not have passed unnoticed (you may recall the sensation caused by a meteor in 2013 in Chelyabinsk).
So what was it? I can offer my version, and hope to be judged by site visitors about its adequacy.
Judging by the photos, it was done from behind the glass. Apparently, the photographer (Michael Potter) was on the ship or boat, and photographed through the window.
On the selection clearly visible spots of salt that leave a drop of sea water after drying.
If you look at the picture from this point of view, there is another possible cause of strange triangular object: maybe this is a reflection of a bright light source behind the photographer. In particular, it may be a lamp, illuminating the dark corners of the ship on which he sails. But even if he shot it from the car window/bus home are not changed.
