Challenge #00691 - A326: Photographic Anomalies

Somewhere in the universe…

[AN: Picture shows a “grey” alien striking a pose on a dirt road by a beach. In the far left background is a circled object in the sky. Said object is enlarged in the lower right of the frame. It resembles a Terran jet]

ALIENS?! blared the headline. The article expanded on the bizarre tale.

K’tob Nygrosk had no idea what would appear in her holiday snaps when she took them. “I was focussed on Reikik, not what was in the sky. I had no idea it was up there until my cousin Bubil pointed it out.”

Experts have examined the camera and K’tob’s negatives and found it to be a genuine anomaly. But they further posit that it could easily be a child’s toy or a kite piloted by fellow beach-goers in the background.

“There’s no sense of scale or means to compare size, let alone a metric for measuring its height,” stated Aeronautics Division Representative Yob K’doth. “The object is most likely a hobbyists attempt at a joke. Besides, everyone knows that a circular wing design is the most stable for flight. These ‘wings’ are preposterous and could not possibly be used for interstellar travel.”

Anomalous objects in the sky continue to appear. Many posit that they are aliens, come to analyse Y’kthikan life. Let’s hope they’re friendly.
