Received the following submission from Simon Boyd who shot this photograph while on November 10, 2001 in Perth, Australia.

The photo was taken at 10:53 p.m. local time from Fremantle looking toward Perth city. The unknown green object appears to be hovering above city.

Camera Information:
Other info: 8 Second Exposure, F3.4m, No flash.
Digital Camera (EXIF camera info attached as jpeg file.)

Nothing was visible over the city until after the photo had been taken, it appears that something may have appeared very quickly and put out a lot of light and then disappeared again. no one saw it at all.

The 8 second exposure would have blurred anything moving at a constant speed ( such as a bottle cap, a plane or a weather balloon.)

Simon asks the question, "Can anyone offer an explanation of this photo, It does look a bit too crafted with the perfect spinning angle, the blue glow below and the antenna at the top. I assure it is not, (yes im reassuring you over the internet, I know how ridiculas that sounds....)"

Simon admits that he knows photoshop forwards and backwards and could easily recreate a fake image, but adds, "But why would I bother sending this story off to many sites? No one has responded and maybe because they think it is a fake, too bad, but all I want is an explanation. Was there any unusual atmospheric phenomenon occurring at that time in November 2001 in Perth?"
