Bridgnorth UFO
I received an email from Dave who lives in Bridgnorth, which is in the town of Shropshire, close to the West Midlands, England.
Dave describes his sighting:
On Sunday 10/08/08 I was taking some photo's of the castle ruins at Brigenorth and didn't notice anything unusual at the time but when I printed them out the following day it became clear that I had taken a photo of something travelling at speed which would explain why it appears blurred.

I have analyzed the photo and to the best of my knowledge it appears to be of a solid object that does not have the characteristics of helicopters, balloons or birds. But it could be an airplane.
What is unusual about this photo is that if it is a UFO it was taken in daylight. Years past the majority of UFOs were almost all night shots. But today, more and more photographs are being caught in the light of day. As I have mentioned previously I believe these objects are only being seen because of the technological breakthrough that resulted in the digital camera.
Note: that the object seems to have a shadow under it. This would on its face appear to be a characteristic not found in UFO photos. My only conclusion, other the fraud, is that the shadow area is in fact an energy signature or dimensional distoration.
I have used various Adobe Photoshop filters to enhance the photograph including: equalize, auto contrast and variations. The results can be seen in the right column. Enlargements of the photograph could show a shimmer surrounding the object or it could be distortion because of the distance and speed of the object..
In the equalized photo enhancement we discover a solid core, or a core substantially different in density, temperature, from the rest of the object.
Also see in all enhancements what appears to be a tail toward the back-left side of the object. Since the object hasn't (or doesn't appear to have) wings, I find it hard to believe that this object would be a rudder. It almost reminds me of the Avrocar.
Dave was focusing on the ruins of the castle the object to the right is blurred - out of focus. If the photo was deiblerately fraudulent the blurred object would be clearer. After enlarging the photo, especially the area where the object appears, I find no pixel distortion or irregularity. Which means the object is real.
I can't tell Dave exactly what it is but I can guess: I believe the Dave has taken a photo of an airplane. See the position of the airplane in the sky - it is thousands of feet above the ground and appears to be approaching an airport or has just taken offf from an airport. Researching the area I discovered that there is a military airfield in Shropshire, with major airports located Birmingham and Manchester.
I tried every trick in the book, sharpened the image and then sharpened edges and more. Finally equalized closeup again and came up with what you see above. With a little imagination you can make out an airplane tail (left back) and with a little more imagination you can see the shadow beneath the craft as the wings of an airplane.I re-enlarged the photo and tried to bring out as much contrast as possible - which there wasn't much. But if I assume that the object to the back-left of the object is the tail fin, then you can find the body and the right wing of the airplane.
It could well be a UFO but for my money I would think the object is an airplane.
