I can definitely help figure it out — but I’ll need to see the photo your brother took. Please upload it here. 📷
Once I see it, I can analyze things like:
- Shape and edges
- Lighting and shadows
- Altitude clues (birds, planes, balloons, drones)
- Camera zoom artifacts
Many “mysterious” sky objects turn out to be things like:
1. Weather balloons – These often look shiny or unusual and float very high in the sky, which makes them appear strange in photos. (UPI)
2. Satellites or Starlink trains – When satellites are released, they can appear as bright lines or clusters of lights in the sky. (L-Università ta’ Malta)
3. Rocket exhaust effects – Sometimes rocket launches create glowing shapes that look like jellyfish or spirals in the sky. (Wikipedia)
4. Balloons, drones, or birds – Zoom and distance can distort their shape in photos.
Upload the picture and I’ll analyze it step-by-step and give you the most likely explanation. 🔍
