Alien Like Spacecraft Moves Across Moon's Surface
(MUFON) -- Around 7:30 PM on 26 October 2015, I was photographing
the sunset over a flooded stock man's pond about nine miles east of
Huntington,UT.
I noticed a beautiful moon rise over Cedar Mountain and shot some
pictures with an 18-250mm lens. Next,at approximately 6:40PM,I used a
150-500 mm sigma optically stabilized lens with a 1.4 tele-converter
attached. With the 0.6X cropping factor of the sensor on the Canon T4i
camera the total focal length was 1160mm at the 500mm setting. As
always, I quickly brushed any dust or artifacts off the lens glass
before taking a picture using aperture priority mode. Upon focusing on
the nearly full moon, I noticed a triangular object moving in the bottom
right corner of the moon and immediately suspected a bug and thought to
myself, "easily removed in Photoshop". Between the first and second
photo, I switched the camera to manual in order to bracket exposures by
changing shutter speeds. I noticed the object had moved across the
face of the moon and snapped another picture which was slightly over
exposed. The third and last image shows the object (shadow?) just right
of top dead center of the moon's face and disappears as if it's
actually following the moon's curvature. These photos transpired over
the course of about 10-15 seconds due to switching camera mode and slow
auto focus. The ISO for all images was 400 and shutter speeds were
1/20th of a second to 1/30th at an aperture of f-9. I sent a forth photo
which shows a thin veil of cirrus clouds moving across the moon's top
as a "control shot."
On my way back to Huntington, I thought about the object and
determined it couldn't have been a conventional aircraft or bug and was
eager to download the images.
I've studied the images at magnifications beyond actual pixels,
sharpened, and am convinced it's an opaque object because the pixels
block light reflected from the moon; the dark triangular area appears
to be quite uniform in all the photos and clearly blocks reflected
light. I thought it might be a contrail reflecting off clouds but have
also ruled out that possibility. I've uploaded the original jpegs and if
you want, I'll send the raws which would probably be better at
determining what this anomaly is. If you have any ideas, please notify
me by e-mail. I'll eagerly await a response.
