My son sent me a photo he took this past Friday night at 9:06pm
of the Seattle Space Needle and Moon in Seattle, WA. What do you think that blue image in the sky is?
If I enlarge it, it becomes clearer but the quality posted here is more blurry. There's a Poll above.

Google says that the sun sets in Seattle at 8:08 PM. I have seen the effect of the sun lighting up a nearby cloud when the sun was over the horizon. The sun wasn't visible to the observer on the ground, but visible from the perspective of the cloud.
 
Interesting observation Chet, maybe, but did you see the close-up I posted above? Those 2 things coming out the top are more defined in the original....a little more structural...but not that much...it's fuzzy in the original too when you enlarge it that much.
 
I should have said airplane in the above instead of cloud. The passengers could see the sun from their viewpoint but someone on the ground could not. It is not different than the sun illuminating the moon if you think about it. It depends on if the plane is high enough and the angle of the sun relative to Seattle, which could be calculated. Maybe I'll try to someday.
 
Considering that "UFO" = Unidentified Flying Object, and we don't know what that thing in the picture is, by definition it is "unidentified" and is flying since it is up in the air. This says nothing about where it came from or whose it is, or what it is because it is unidentified.

I voted for UFO, but I really think it's the Peter Pan ship

@Chet you can change your answer if you want.
There is a blue button in the lower right corner that says "Change Vote".

You've got a point about the illuminated plane but those wings are sticking up in a weird way. That's why I ruled that one out.
 
I cast my vote as a UFO, and what I'm hoping is that it was an extraterrestrial alien craft UFO.

Did your son mention anything related to the speed at which the object was travelling, Lara? Fast, slow, hovering?

Did your son mention any strange sounds coming from the craft?

What about coloured lights, something out of the ordinary?
 
Actually Aunt Marge...I'm pretty sure he was only focused on the Seattle Space Needle and the Moon. I don't think he even noticed it until I pointed it out in the photo and he just said it was probably a plane. I told him I was going to send it to the Seattle News Stations, Pentagon, CIA, and Marco Rubio who is heading up the new program of looking into the recently increased sightings, mostly in New York (report due out in June).

He just laughed at me with some comment about not knowing I was becoming a CIA agent.

This sort of thing has always fascinated me to the nth.

So happy to know you sent this off to interested parties.

Not so much over the course of winter, but come summer, when we're outside in the evenings relaxing and star-gazing, my imagination wanders wildly, causing me to think of alien life, space-crafts from other planets and galaxies, Star Trek, and so forth.

I don't for a second believe we are the only life forms in the universe.
 
Any photo taken at night would have a long exposure time, so a moving object like a plane would appear elongated like the picture shows. Planes display flashing lights at night which would explain brighter points in the image.
