Oregon, Mount St. Helen

My wife was in Oregon on August 20, 2006 visiting a friend. They went on a trip along the coast on their way to Washington State. 

While analyzing her photos on the computer, I found something in the background of this photo, in which she is depicted sitting on a wall with Mount St. Helen is in the background. At that moment, she didn't notice anything and doesn't remember any details, such as the exact time or place, except that it happened somewhere on the main road. 

However, I managed to combine the view and angle of the photo, and I think it was taken from Elk Rock over Spirit Lake Memorial Highway.

Original news

Oregon, Mount St. Helens

     

Min hustru befandt sig i Oregon den 20. august 2006 på besøg hos en ven. De var taget på en udflugt op langs kysten på vej til staten Washington. Da jeg ordnede hendes billeder på computeren, opdagede jeg noget i baggrunden af dette billede, som viser hende siddende på en væg med Mount St. Helens i baggrunden. Hun havde intet bemærket i det øjeblik og husker ingen detaljer som f.eks. det nøjagtige tidspunkt eller sted, bortset fra at det skete et eller andet sted langs en hovedvej. Ikke desto mindre var jeg i stand til at kombinere udsigten og vinklen på billedet og jeg tror, det er taget ved Elk Rock udsigten over Spirit Lake Memorial Highway.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Beetles and other insects

Flying insects in photos and videos can be mistaken for UFOs.

Shooting can take place in the daytime or in the evening. When moving, the outlines of the insect can be both blurred and clear. Depending on this, dark spots or spots of bizarre shapes can be taken for UFOs. The video shows UFOs hovering in the sky, flying in a straight line or moving along a complex trajectory (for example, shooting May bugs near a tree against the background of the evening sky). Insects can be mistaken for UFOs by accident, or given out intentionally. At night, they can be highlighted by a flash.

Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure

Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.

Birds

Due to the peculiarities of the bird's flight, it is possible to capture a moment in the photo when an ordinary bird will resemble a "classic" UFO in shape.
