The sharpness of (Nearby) objects rendered is sufficient that this would have had completely different edges if it had been an actual object.
Judging from its RELATIVE size, had it been a flying object, it would have been so large that if could not have been missed.
This is why it was not noticed at the time, it wasn't there.
I thought of some of the same things you did and so did he, but they are really not adding up.
If it was an artifact of the camera, he snapped a bunch of images at that location at that time, and none has anything remotely resembling what is displayed in this image.
And yes... they were taken with a digital camera (BlueSky).
As for the "relative size" of the supposed object, it would have been many miles away. If it wasn't making a lot of noise and unless your eyes were focused on the object, it could have easily been missed if it were an object traveling at a high rate of speed.
I don't know. I don't know what it is. That is why I posed the question here. I don't want to give the impression that I think it is a craft from another world because personally I don't believe this planet is being visited by crafts or beings from other planets... or any of that type of stuff.
I was just looking to see if someone here had any specialized software that could possibly clarify the object better.
It is about perfectly parallel with the water and has a straight line on the bottom. That kind of rules out a spec of dust or light anomaly. At least I think it does.
