This version can refer to any observation in the contrast of an object on a solid background, both day and night.

Night it can be a light in a dark house, on the technique in a dark room, etc.

Day the color of the sky sometimes merge with the color of the surface of the Earth at the horizon level. While it may seem that the object on this piece, floating in the sky. It is clearly seen, for example, at the marine landscapes. This illusion may occur as in the photos (especially black and white) and by direct observation.

Objects and light sources out of focus

When the objects are out of focus, their silhouettes blurred and poorly recognizable. They can look like dark or colored translucent stain. This is often the cobwebs, spiders, insects in front of the camera.

Satellite

Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.

Investigation

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

In the photo, you can only see a blurry point of light, so there are quite a lot of explanations. According to the description of an eyewitness, it looks like the ISS.
