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. The 58th frame taken on Day 13 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 13 - 4 August 2007

Hey Jeff,

Aug. 4th, STUDY DAY 13
SATURDAY - 97 DEGREES

WE have a clear day - super hot - hate it!!! And not a cloud in the sky. 058jpg - taken at 7:32pm. Look between the power lines. There are two blue anomalies - lots of energy here...

This time we have a pair of bluish orbs hovering above power lines. What purpose that might serve is unknown. I can't tell you what they are, only what they're not. We can be fairly sure they're not insects, birds, airplanes or helicoptesr. They certainly don't look like any balloon this writer is familiar with.

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 the frame in question, jpeg #58 from JH's Study Day 13, 4 August 2007. It is unenhanced, and although presented just as it was shot, it is slightly enlarged from 640x480 pixels to 720x480.

The YELLOW circle has been added to show where the objects are located.

As you can see, these objects bore no resemblance to insects, birds, balloons, lens flares, or atmospheric phenomenon. Therefore, I must classify them as unknown.

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