On the night of July 23 2016 i went outside of my home in Brantford On Canada and proceeded to take photos of the moon.Something i do regularly . At approx 12:00 am (SSE direction) i noticed a flash above the moon,it was a quick on /off 'type' of a light. The light flash was quick enough for me to question whether i had indeed seen it.I thought the best idea was to see if the camera could perhaps 'catch' it as i had expected it to happen again, possibly revealing a satellite. by the time i had my camera set to shoot i realized it was visible to the naked eye at the approx. the 1 o'clock position it appeared as a star or possible planet in the distance. This piqued my curiosity greatly and i considered what planets ,stars etc and could think of none. I did note there was no other activity in the sky. I proceed to take several pictures and was noticing it was changing positions but i did not witness movement. Many of the pictures were out of focus but i was able to capture some that were clear. Describing the object was difficult as i found it did not fit into the 'standard catergory' UFO, that most witness.It had an almost patina green body,the under carriage appearing copperish and a visible through the camera lens sectioning in 3 spots. I was completely amazed at the size. A tripod was not used,i was shaking and my heart was racing while trying to take photos wondering if it was all truly happening as well who was going to believe this besides MUFON ! I suddenly felt 'vulnerable' and went in the house to review the photos. I did not sleep much that night or any night since mostly a feeling of amazement.
