Today Inna Shilovitch photographed an object whose origin remains a mystery to her. It cannot be written off on the glare of the sun - it was visible to the naked eye.

She noticed a strange phenomenon in the sky at the exit of the village of Padersky Gardeners of The Slutsky district. Inna Shilovitch stopped her car and took some photos with her digital camera (judging by the metadata of the files, the pictures were taken within two minutes from 14.59 to 15.01).

« ... It seemed that the object was above the village of Yachevo, but I can be wrong ... "Inna Shilovitch told the Kur'er newspaper. She was surprised by the fact that the visual object was motionless, as if the "fall" of a UFO was "frozen."

« ... When I reached the bridge at the 11th in the year, and turned around - except for the sun and clouds in the sky there was nothing ... Inna Shilovic said.

Taking pictures, she immediately went to the editorial office of the newspaper "Kur'er" - the photos were dropped directly from the camera. According to unofficial information from the military air defense unit (14th v/s), no objects were seen on the radars except for "corridors" (passenger planes flying along their usual routes - corridors). Therefore, at the moment the object remains unidentified (UFO is an unidentified flying object).

In this image, the white circles show the solar glare, which is visible only in the image, while the object itself (circled in red) was visible to the naked eye.

Hypotheses

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

Halo

Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.

Re-reflections in lens lenses from a strong light source

The lens consists of a set of lenses (in some lenses - of mirrors), designed for mutual compensation of aberrations and assembled into a single system.

From the contour light (bright light sources behind the subject or next to it), caught in the frame or located outside the frame, parasitic reflections from the internal elements of the lens are formed, called glare (or in slang "hares").

Investigation

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

What was visible to the naked eye - false sun or halo.

What was not visible - glare from the sun (re-reflection in the lenses of the lens).
