Location: In flight (location unknown), CO, USA

Shape: Unknown

In March of 1988 my 16 year old son was traveling from St. Louis to San Francisco by airplane. He was using an old 110 instamatic camera and taking photos out of the plane window while over the Rockies.

He never even noticed the object he captured in one photo.

I am e-mailing both the original photo and an enlargement of the object I had "blown up" at a local photo mart back then. I have always wondered what the object might be. A friend of mine at work gave the best "tongue in cheek" answer that it was a flying squid.

Hopefully you may have a more scientific answer.

Thank you.
