While waiting for sunrise in order to see the hiking path to hickman natural bridge in capitol reef national park, i snapped two photos with my panasonic lumix camera, one looking east and one looking south. the one looking east had a bright star near the horizon over the rock formations and the one looking south had what i thought was the milky way. it wasn’t until i got home and looked through my photos that i thought another star was visible in the area of the milky way. but when i enlarge it, it looks more like an object with a flat bottom, a defined shape and what looks like reflections from the rising sun off the surface or lights. we didn’t hear any unusual sounds. unfortunately, i didn’t observe it at the time but only in the photo. i am sending both photos for comparison.
