UFO Makes Appearance at Mount Comfort Air Show

Dirk Vander Ploeg
Received a submission from Matt Ray, who is a 47-year old training/safety administrator for a growing company.

He is not a professional photographer.

He was attending the Indianapolis Air Show which was held August 26-27th, 2006.

The air show was held at Mt. Comfort, Indiana last month (August). Matt attended the event on the Sunday. He was trying to capture an A-10 Jet coming in for a close fly by. The camera he was using does not have a view finder, only a 1' X 1.5" screen.

Due to lighting conditions the sun was reflecting off the screen and he could not make out the image so he simply aimed at the plane and shot the photo. He did not know the object was in the photo until he looked at it the other night and zoomed in on it.


There were no other planes in the air at the time other than the A-10. The show had stopped for 1/2 hour before the A-10 took off.

The photo was taken using a 5.0 HP Photosmart E317 Camera.
