A guy i was dating last year had taken me out for a jeep ride around the back forest roads of lassen national volcanic park, outside of shingletown, ca. i noticed a rock formation that had a face that looked very much like a classic hook-nosed witch. i couldn't get a very good photo due to the distance away with my phone's camera, so he returned the next day with his dslr to photograph the formation for me (to which i had given the name "witch rock"). he posted the images on imugur the next day, and sent me a link. he took several photos of the formation, and i noticed in one of them, there is a dark grey disc like object just below the witch's nose. zooming in on it, it appears to be a disc shape, casting a shadow on its underside. interestingly, several photos were taken in quick succession, but only this one photo shows the object. it must have been moving faster than the eye can see, because my friend observed nothing in person. the fact that it stands out grey against the white clouds behind it says it was somewhat near. i've been meaning to send this to you guys forever, but it took awhile for me to get jason to consent to sharing it. i'm going to attach the clean copy he emailed me at my request, as well as the ones i enhanced for better observation. i'll throw in a couple of the others that don't show the object too, since i think this helps confirm it was not a lens anomaly.
