I stepped outside to take a picture of the sky after sunset for a photographic group challenge.

I was unaware of the detail in the photograph until I loaded it on my computer and viewed it in Adobe Lightroom. The greenish object stood out as an oddity to me. Enlargement of the image gave a little more detail, but as with many pictures like this it leave a great deal to the imagination. There were no other lights associated with it, no sound or any indication of aircraft in the area. I'm a retired design engineer, and an avid photographer, but in this instance was taking a quick shot of the sky to fulfill a photochallenge for a group I post to on a weekly basis. I am not prone to wild flights of the imagination, and am certainly not an attention hound, in fact I was a little reticent about filing this report, but thought you might be able to interested in it. I've not contacted anyone else about this and only published it to the photogroup 52 Frames.
