Initial data
A witness photographed a strange object using the Fujifilm X-T1 and XF16-55mm F2.8 zoom. Onbject presumably was in the range of 30 meters from the place of photographing. The witness used the manual focus and aperture 55 mm ( maximum focal length) between the f5.6 and f8, focus on the subject. The wind was about 3 KTS 7 KTS gusts, but the object moves at almost a right angle to the wind. It was a very smooth movement.

Original news
I had just gone out to take photos for desktop wallpaper, using a Fujifilm X-T1 and XF16-55mm f2.8 zoom lens. I noticed the object within 30 metres of leaving home and resorted quickly to manual focus and aperture at 55mm (longest focal length) between f5.6 and f8, trying to zone focus. The wind was about 3 kts gusting 7 kts from around 190 degrees; the object moved almost orthogonally to the wind, heading arround 300 to 330 degrees and varying in altitude. It had a very smooth motion. Towards the end of this sighting the object appeared to occult, although it was quite far away and increasingly difficult to see. While I was changing lenses to a 55-200mm, it rose in the distance and disappeared. Oddly, every high-altitude aircraft in that vicinity started to leave persistent contrails thereafter, as if there had been an ambient temperature change. Two "best shots" are attached, both heavy crops. The A/C in photo 2 is on the "S" curve to the Heathrow flightpath and at that point is at 4000 - 5000 feet up.
