An eyewitness from the family went to the Lincoln memorial. He climbed the stairs and decided to take some pictures of the beautiful view from there. It was around 11 in the morning, and he made about three snimci this area. At that time he did not notice anything, but later that night when he returned home and decided prosmatret photos, I noticed something strange on one of them. The first picture was completely normal, but on the second to the right of the Washington memorial, he saw a small black disc. The third picture was also normal.

I don't know the exact dimensions, but it should be great if he appeared on my phone camera.At first I assumed it was just an airplane or drone, but if I'm not mistaken, the sky over the Mall and the monument is a rigorous area without movement, as the capital and the White house are in close proximity.

Original news

Me and my family were in DC for a White House tour. We walked to the Lincoln memorial and I climbed the steps, the view from there is awesome, you can see the whole mall, so I decided to take some pictures. It was areound 11 am and I took about 3 pictures in a row of the Washington monument. At the time I didn't see anything but later that night, when I got home, I was looking through the pictures when I noticed something odd about one of them. The first picture was totally normal, but in the second one, on the right of the Washington memorial, I saw a little black disc shaped object just hovering next to it. I swiped to the 3rd picture to see if it was in that one too but it was gone. It must've disappeared quickly, as these pictures were taken within seconds of each other. I don't know the exact size of it but it must've been big if it showed up on my phone camera. At first I assumed it was just a plane or a drone, but if I'm not mistaken, the skies above the mall and the monument are a strict no fly zone, as the capital and the White House are in close proximity. It's been on my mind for a while, I just want an explanation for it. I would've reported it sooner but I wasn't sure how.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Birds

Due to the peculiarities of the bird's flight, it is possible to capture a moment in the photo when an ordinary bird will resemble a "classic" UFO in shape.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

Most likely it is a bird flying near the camera. This is evidenced by the characteristic shape of the object (wing down). Also this hypothesis is confirmed by the words of the witness that the object was only in one picture, and a blurred view of the object.
