It's hard to Photograph UFOs

Well I was outside yesterday relaxing out in the last of the summer sun, had my camera in hand. I had wanted to take a photo of a contrail, but I had to recharge my batteries and this is all I got, not in its prime but they're always around here, I think planes begin their approach to Wellington airport over where I live.


Unhappy with not being prepared, I just sat outside watching the skies when it dawned on me how prepared really was I if I did actually get the chance to photograph or film something strange in the sky.

Luckily there's no shortage of planes flying about over where I live, so I started trying to capture them with my camera.


In the hour and a bit I was out there five planes flew by and that's the best shot I got, fully zoomed in with no reference points to help me, it's bloody hard. I know that with more practice I'll get better and I think planes are the perfect thing to practice on.

I have a whole new appreciation for blurred photos and shaky footage now, fully zoomed in on a moving object, only the best tripod will help, taking photos of the moon was hard enough.

Polk County Fireball Video

A Polk county man filmed this amazing fireball video on January 7, he filmed it for about 10 minutes before it disappeared behind the tree line.

What it shows is an object that seem to be falling from the sky, leaving a very long bright trail.

Experts have been consulted and they say that it could be a plain and contrail, observed in unusual conditions.

I can see how they came to that conclusion, sun set, not a cloud in the sky, with the contrail the only thing to be lit up by the lowering sun.

Pretty cool though, do y'all think it's just a plane?
