Airship ?

Unidentified Flying Object

This is a story of a very strange object found in a series of pictures. The pictures where all taken with object of catching the clouds. A total of 87 pictures where shot in 20 minutes or as picture metadata timestamp says from 18:00:42 to 18:20:27. During the shooting nothing odd or special where observed…

After upload to the laptop, several days later, I found this strange object on D39B0037.DCR:

Timestamp on this picture is 18:04:15 – and the picture taken prior to this, the D39B0036.DCR is with timestamp 18:04:14 – around one second earlier and objects is not there…

I think that's an airship ?

Bird or bug. It doesnt say where the zoom was in the 80-400mm range but the aperture on that lens is 4.5-5.6 and that gives you a pretty large depth of field. Since the clouds are in focus, whatever the object was, was tiny and very close to the camera.

Bird, bug, articulated airship? Though, if it were an airship, one would figure it would be a very slow moving target that would be captured in several more frames.

I remember some years ago an entrepenuer designed an airship based on two blimps in a "V" formation. They were used in lieu of helicopters in logging, etc. I don't recall if they are still around. Also, the design resembles some of the designs for high-endurance UAVs operated by solar cells.
