NUFORC Sighting 08680

Occurred: 1999-08-11 12:22 Local
Reported: 1999-08-16 00:00 Pacific
Duration:
No of observers: 1

Location: Messina (Italy), , Italy

Shape: Cylinder


My mistake of using no filter in fotographing sun eclypse with a digit camera (Casio) resulted in pictures with no shadow onto the sun. A strange cylinder appeared instead,with a diameter many times its height. The cylinder showed a larger and very thin disk as a base. In picture 1 the object was at the S/W of the sun whereas in picture 2 at the South.Time elapsed between pictures was about 12 minutes.Pictures taken the day after under an identical set of conditions showed no strange objects.
