This summer as I went back for a summer break to my family home, in France in the Rhone Alpes Region which is a region about a third the size of California, with montaneous topography.The county where my family home is is called Loire mainly made of countryside, with a couple of big towns.My home is in a hilly region surrounded by a lot of woods as you can see on the pictures, with very few houses around within 1 miles radius.The picture was taken as I was walking early in the morning taking pictures of the surrounding of my home, it must have been about 8.30am when I took that particular picture, not being aware of the flying object/bird you can see on the upper left of the pix. I took this picture using a digital camera (Panasonic) on a wide angle.When I came home I quickly downloaded/ batch/formatted all the pictures on my Laptop and look briefly at all those pictures, but this picture didn���t cath my attention.It���s only 6 months after taking that picture when browsing for these pictures that I came across that weird black ans white spot you can see, and it did catch my attention this time for two things:-The perspective makes it really hard to figure out what it can possibly be:A bird of whatever size will be much blurry and only small birds would fly with their wings stuck o their sides as the shape of the object would suggest, and if it was a bird then it will be much blurrier on the pictures, and much much smaller as well, as when looking at the object it looks like it is at least some distance away, so if it was a bird it would have to be at least a one meter long bird to appear like this on the pictures, and no bird of that size exist in that region.A plane or glider, could make more sens to me, but the perspective again makes it difficult to clearly identify this object as a winged flying object, and also if it was then I think that the shape would have been clearer.Also the oval/disc shape is very intriguing as unless taking by profile front or beside you would see the back fin, and an airliner at least will leave a track of smoke behind it.The last thing is that when you zoom the pix in your photo browser (In window) you can see that there���s some type of metallic roof or white roof with some shadow below it, which suggest a spheric object.You however really need to zoom in to get a clear idea of what I���m taking about.So I���m perplex as to what this thing could possibly be.
