Strange object.

Modified image, saturation and contrast adjusted.
This picture intrigues me. The picture was taken half way up a very steep climb in Brecon, UK. When I took the picture I did not see anything. The frame before and after have no markings, I have taken over 3000 pictures with this camera (Canon 650d fitted with a Canon 15 to 85 zoom) and have had no similar markings. The day was very windy, a forest was 600 to 700 feet below and the area we were walking in is short rough grassland, the spots of white in the far hillside are sheep this gives an idea of scale. The shutter speed was 160th sec at f7.1 at 15.0mm wide angle, 100 ISO, image size was 18mp.
I am familiar with the use of Photoshop but nothing has been altered from the original image apart from contrast, saturation and crop to enable a large zoom image. I would be interested in any comments regarding what this object could be or any suggestions regarding where to look for an artifact which could have caused this strange effect.

I saw you have talent for photographie ! Participated in a photo contest ! http://judypics.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/photos-contest-concours-de-photos/
May be it is one of those drones 😛
Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I will search the internet and see if there are any images and see if they match.I would like to try to get an answer as to what the image is, my mind tells me its something quite logical but every time I view the picture it gives me doubts.
Definitely a UFO 🙂
Yes its very odd, I keep going back to the picture but just get more and more confused about what it is. Shame I did not see it at the time. Thanks for visiting and the comments. Ian.
Very interesting.

Yes its a very confusing picture, at the time I had taken over 4000 pictures with the camera and never had any marks appear, I had taken quite a few other pictures of the terrain at the same time with no mark appearing, the previous and next frames show no mark. But what makes me very confused is, when you look at the close up picture you can see the cloud patterns across the middle of the object, I have sent the images to BUFORA (a UFO organisation) to see if they can give an explanation for it.
my suggestion sounds rather less exciting than the others – it’s something either on your lens or inside your camera. although the story of the drones does sound much more interesting 🙂
