@MrGoat you're probably right... just seems odd that I can't see condensation nor droplets during the day ... seems clear as a bell during the day, but at night, that exact same shape shows up every night.

I'm gonna start wiping the lense every night

@Jax_Wild_4_Life @MrGoat it's a shadow between the lights. i get some really weird ones out here in the boonies, when people have lights on outside... especially weird when there's fog or snow

@redenigma I was thinking shadow, also, but doesn't it seem strange that the lights on either side do not illuminate even part of the middle? There's nothing there that should block the light from illuminating similar to a 'moon dog' effect (like the light around the moon at night)....

@MrGoat

@Jax_Wild_4_Life @MrGoat it's partly the curve of the lens causing the effect

@AskTheDevil yes. The part I have circled in red. I think the same thing every night I see it, like it's an apparition of a giant, or something ...

@Jax_Wild_4_Life I think there's fixed lights and highway lights and houses that all come together in the same spot to make a shape that's visible when there's a tiny bit of moisture or haze.

I'm trying to think of how you could rule that out. Can you take pictures several nights in a row from the same spot? Is it possible to see it from multiple spots?

I'm not saying it's _not_ a spook. Just trying to think of how to narrow down what it is.
: )

@Jax_Wild_4_Life I used to do commercial photo, retouching, analysis, etc., back in the day.

I've also had many friends and acquaintances who are into ghosts, the occult, UFOs, etc.

I don't know how many images I've looked at of orbs, ghosts, figures in the mist or in reflections.

The vast majority, nearly the whole of those 10s or 100s of thousands of images, were common photographic artifacts that come from moisture, lint, shadows, dust, bugs, reflections off objects, et al.

@Jax_Wild_4_Life I'm not attempting to reject your lived experience. Merely reassure you that the chances it is a monster are minimal, and that you're probably okay.

🖤

@AskTheDevil oh of course I appreciate any and all feedback, and as soon as I can (tonight and tomorrow night) I will post more pix. It's the same image I saw every night for a week or more, so it started freaking me out lol

@AskTheDevil I forgot to post this one from last night, but I circled it in a different colour for the sake of authenticity or to show it as a separate image ...

@Jax_Wild_4_Life ~ I see sasquatch running. But I have a vivid imagination and should not be relied upon.
