On 12^th September 2021 “Lucy” and her husband were out dowsing a leyline at Meon Hill, an Iron Age hill fort in Warwickshire. It was 1:30pm and a warm and dry day with patchy clouds in the sky. As they dowsed they took some photographs.

They saw nothing at the time but later on when checking the photos they noticed an unusual object in the sky. Here are the photographs taken:

The final photograph in the sequence indicates that the object is no longer present:

Unfortunately the method used to send me the photographs means that the metadata has been lost. However, I have no reason to doubt they are authentic.

The object resembles a black oval ring (or circular ring viewed at an angle). The witness states that the photographs show it at different positions in the sky, indicating it was climbing. However, after examining the images I do not agree with this statement. The positioning of the object within the frame of the pictures remains the same, it is the angle the camera was held at which changes, giving the illusion of it rising.

There is also no indication of exactly how far away from the lens the object actually is. The object does not change position in frame or shape in any way across the photographs. It is not necessarily an object in the distance at all, it could be a tiny object actually on the camera lens, such as a tiny piece of vegetation or other airborne debris. This would explain why neither Lucy nor her husband noticed anything in the sky at the time. It does not look like an insect so I believe this can be discounted.

It is correct that it has vanished in the final photograph, but perhaps it was only stuck to the camera lens for a short while before falling off, or even being wiped off by Lucy’s husband.

I believe that this is the most likely explanation for the photographs and therefore consider this case closed.
