Palmetto, GA. Diamond a couple of seconds a glowing diamond shaped object picture taken 19 April 2005 at 1950 EST

I was comparing two different megapixel cameras to see the difference in sharpness. The Sony Cybershot DSC-P52 3.2mp camera was used to compare it against a Canon 330D 6.3mp camera.

When I framed the picture of the sky with clouds and an aircraft in it I noticed a twinkling object through the view finder as I pushed the shutter button. The resultant picture shows a diamond shaped object in front of some clouds.

I was aiming the camera at about 35 degrees above the horizon (to avoid my roof line) and was facing almost due East.

I have noticed another object in the picture in the clouds on the right side of the picture.

NUFORC Note:

Photo indicated a light-colored, diamond-shaped object. We do not know what the object is. PD
