I rarely capture things in flight in my photos. A few times (out of hundreds) I've captured a bird.

This photo was taken this morning. Usually I note if there are airplanes so I won't get all excited by spotting something in the air in my photo, when it is only an airplane. So I don't think this is an airplane. I'm pretty sure it is not. I can see it possibly being a bird, but I'd have to think a big bird like a duck, and there are no ducks around.

I can't rule out that it's not a bird. But I feel it could be something more (like a UFO unseen by my eyes, but captured by my camera).

Nonetheless, it is fun to consider. (All are larger images if you choose to click-view them).

Interesting that the air appears disturbed around it enough to show up as a colour when filtered.
