It could be a plane... I can just make out a small protrusion which could be a wing on an angle. However, if it was a plane, wouldn't it be flying at a 90 degree angle to the horizontal?

EDIT: Just went back for another look... how close do you live to an airport? It sort of appears to be another plane flying at a higher altitude but perpendicular to the obvious airliner. Perhaps we can't make out the wings as it is circling to wait for clearance to land and is therefore on a titled angle?

I reckon we should make and Ice in Space UFO gallery What fun that would be

I am a little apprehensive about publicly attaching my name to this image and sending it to AS&T , It looks to be a image that might cause a stir lol

Date: 16/6/2005
Time: Approx 4pm
Location: gosford
Camera: Fujiflim S5000, 3 mp, 10x optical zoom

When i took the image, I anticpated the path of the plane and waited for it to appear in the frame, I then snaped it. I really did not pay much attention to exposure.

The only other person there was my father, we both did not see it visually.
i have attached the before and after shots. the blank one is when i missed the plane and taken before the image in question, the one of the moon was taken after the image in question. Both have been resized

Have a look to the far right of the first image in this thread, There appears to be a circular darkish object there too, also at a different focus. Wierd

The circular dark object to the right looks like a dust doughnut, dunno what the thing on the left is. To me it looks to be more in focus than the plane which would put it in the foreground.

I played with it in PSP and darkened it a touch then used unsharp mask and enalrged it... I swear it looks like a missile. it is probably a plane tho because there are 2 bit sticking out of it on each side bout half way along

well yeah...of course.
if its a plane I'd say its as big as the one in the forground. richmond (is that where he is) has an airforce base... could be something to do with that too....

Well here's food for thought, lets say the jet was at 35,000 feet and is, say, 100 feet long, lets say it is a satelite at least at low earth orbit around 80 miles up, that makes the object about 5 times the size of the Sydney harbour bridge in relation to the aircraft, and I am being generous, me thinks it is just a speckle of noise from the CCD.
