Our friend J.H. lives with her husband and children in north-central Georgia, USA. She is a professional livestock breeder, and a good amateur photographer. She has been invited to take part in a photography contest by The National Library of Photography.

Due to many strange objects appearing in photos JH took on 26 June, 04 July, and 18 July 2007, she embarked on a month long photographic study. She was determined to be scientific, take pictures every day for 30 consecutive days, keep notes, and have an open mind. She is more concerned with finding out the truth, rather than search for possible U.F.O.s.

JH has taken control pictures as well. She photographed a sheet of blank white paper to ascertain if her camera were producing digital artifacts. She took pictures from the inside of her car of insect splats on the windshield (windscreen JC). JH took photos of a spider in its web against the sky for comparison. She has made pictures of birds in flight, and captured airplanes and helicopters for her records. She found that in SOME of her photos, what first seemed to be an anomalous formation of objects was in fact clouds of gnats. In these ways, JH is showing us that her study is truly scientific.

JH took hundreds of pictures during her 30 day study, and some of them revealed anomalous objects. Day 5 of this project was, hands down, the most productive. It yielded no less than seven anomalies relulting from the day's three shooting sessions. Frames #9, #60, #61, and #62 taken on Day 5 during the first session contained just such an object. Here is what our friend JH had to say in her own words. (It has been edited for privacy and clarity - JC)

Study Day 5 - 27 July 2007

Hey -Jeff,

Here are todays findings. There was supposed to be a 30% chance of thunderstorms. It was hot and humid, but no rain - photographed a lot today and in various locations. Speaking of locations - I need to clarify my directions -- previously i told you this view was south... that was a mistake. My truck driver husband informed me that this view is in fact east.

Once more, we have another of these orb shaped, or spherical objects. What makes this particular orb so fascinating is that it crossed the sky during the first photo shoot JH performed that day. Also, when it first appeared in Frame #9, it was very close to a recently laid chemtrail. Could it have been investigating the chemicals our own government is spraying on the populace? Interesting thought.

The sheer numbers of these orbs which turned up in the 30 day project makes them intrigueing anyway. I can't tell you what this one is, only what it's not. We can be fairly sure it's not an insect, bird, airplane or helicopter.

If this is a balloon, then someone in JH's town is releasing a LOT of black colored helium balloons, as they seemed to appear multiple times nearly every day. An expensive hoax indeed. In addition, this would have been one mighty FAST balloon!

Dozens of JH's photos over the 30 day period included indistinct round objects. It would not be practical for me to post every single one here, so we are confining ourselves to only the best examples.

Let's take a look at the original photo, a few enhancements, to decide for ourselves shall we?

The photos JH shared with us were resized, zoomed, and incorporated into animated GIFs by Jeff Challender as appropriate for the web. All photos copyright © 2007 JH of Georgia.

This animated GIF is comprised of frames #9, #60, #61, and #62 from JH's Study Day 5, 27 July 2007. they are unenhanced, and although presented just as shot, they are reduced from 640x480 pixels to 360x240 for the web.

The YELLOW circlse have been added to show where object is located.

Notice the chemtrail? JH

Frame #9 enlarged 500% in natural color, reversed color, and embossed for a 3D effect.

Looking east from my back yard 11:30am. JH

Frame #61 enlarged 500% in natural color, reversed color, and embossed for a 3D effect.

11:30am looking south. JH

Frame #62 enlarged 500% in natural color, reversed color, and embossed for a 3D effect.

As you can see, this object bore no resemblance to insects, birds, balloons, lens flares, or atmospheric phenomenon. In a most interesting development, it crossed the entire sky after appearing to inspect a chemtrail over JH's home. Therefore, I must classify it as unknown.

At the end of the day, it's up to YOU to draw your own conclusions.
