11/01/02 new york, saucer shaped object captured on film. posted 06-10-03

I took a photograph of the Empire state building at around 6.30pm, as it was all lit up in red, white and blue and did not notice anything strange. When I arrived back in the UK a few days later I uploaded my pictures from my digital camera to my pc. On looking closer at the shot of the Empire state building I noticed a bright object to the top right hand side of the building. At first I thought it could be the moon but then I recalled that it had started to rain and therefore the sky was clouded over. On zooming in on the unknown object I found to my surprise that it was saucer shaped and had a ring of blue lights on one edge. I tried severall different filters to asertain if the object was just rain on the lense but several of the filters showed it was a solid object. This object was not sighted at the time of taking the photograph. Although judging by the size it must have been visible to others.

NUFORC Note:

We have reviewed the photo, and confirm that there is an unidentified object to the right of the Empire State Building. We do not know what it is. PD
