Little Green Men

G'Day All,

Whilst trying startrails last night, some LGMs turned up in my image ! Well it is a good story anyway but it does have me stumped a little but most likely a satellite coming into sunlight due to being seen near sunrise.

The image is 89 separate shots stacked in Star Trails and a single dark frame taken as it was still warm last night.

Interesting anyway this green projection which is moving in a straight line and linear in movement. The mystery object is slightly left of centre and about 1/5th the way down from the top moving in a direction towards the top right of the frame. Close up it looks like some light refraction is going on but I can't pinpoint it. Any ideas??

Images taken from about 11:30pm until sunrise and the mystery object appeared in the last 8 frames before sunrise (the moon was well up before the LGM appeared) I have attached some closeups to zero in on the little blighter!

Canon 40D, 16-35mm F2.8L lense at 16mm & F8, 240Sec ISO400.

Happy to hear your thoughts and conspiracy theories etc

Cheers,
Darrin...
