Bug on the window. Everytime these photos are taken, they are blurry af
A suspiciously blurry photo
Clearly it’s a screenshot of a blurry photo
I didn’t take it
Then it could be a fake blurry photo. Or a blurry photo taken with a bad camera. Or anything.

You need to read The Sphinx by Edgar Allen Poe.
It’s about a man staying in the country when he sees this gigantic monster off in the distance from his bedroom window. He freaks out about it and becomes paranoid.
Turns out it was a moth on the window. That’s what this looks like too.
Turn out your lamps Lemmy or the moths will return!
One sec let me try to get some EXIF data Edit: nvm I can’t download it
It really looks to me like a tiny bug on the camera lens or on a window
Maybe but at the same time I dont see any legs or antenna, and it looks like its floating. Course it is blurry
it’s blurry because the camera is focussed on the sky
A reflection in the glass of the window.
No way, that is way too detailed
there’s no discernible detail at all lol.
There’s no (well, at the level relevant here) constraint on how detailed a reflection can be. I mean, pull out a mirror and look in it.
I mean it looks 3d without anything surrounding.
everything else underground is pitch black only having some dim and vague areas
It’s an ambiguous photo. Probably faked.
If the object isn’t an optical aberration or a faked photo and is in fact an actual object in the sky it could be a deflated weather balloon falling.They can get pretty funky looking. To me though it looks more like a wind turbine.
My money is on it being a faked photo.
I dont think there were any weather balloons nearby and the photographer is just some lady from Greeneville, TN so I have no clue
There is another high probability possibility. It could be a tea light powered hot air balloon. You suspend a tea light under a lightweight plastic bag. The candle heats the air in the bag and it floats off across the sky. They look pretty freaky if you haven’t run across them before Especially at night. If the bag got hit by a sudden gust, it might twist into that shape and start to fall. Don’t see them very often due to the fire hazard.
Another possibility might be a custom hobby r/c craft of some sort. That’s all the reasonable ideas I’ve got.
Probably isn’t, we dont have very many hot air balloons around here plus its pretty dry right now so I dont think we would take that risk.
I think you may be thinking a little too large a hot air balloon. Think grocery bag sized. As for not taking the risk, have you ever met a kid, or more likely in this case, teen, that thinks through the consequences of their actions.
And it is a very cool science trick. I could see a kid doing something like that, pretty easily.
This was the first result in YouTube when I looked it up. https://youtu.be/mfOm6IOA9Og
That would make sense, but AGAIN somehow it cant be. You see the kids in South Greene aren’t exactly that interested in science I know I saw their scores in science they genuinely aren’t trying. I mean its not even that hard when I was in 7th grade math I got all As, and the high schoolers oh boy. They’re very street smart but ask then a basic science question and they are dumb as bricks
Middle aged me calls it a science trick and understands at a basic level how it works. 8 year old me would have said “Hey man! Hey man! Hey man! Check this out!” not having a clue how it worked, but it’s cool because it involves fire and magic. And promptly proceeding to set the town on fire.
Ditto potato guns, soda bottle launchers (top half a soda bottle, a coffee cup, a little water and a firecracker), Mentos granades (coke and mentos), flamethrowers (just hairspray and a lighter), vacuum cannons and other things that burned, went boom or did something else exciting.
Give the kids a break, they may not be able to communicate their understanding in standard language, but they understand far more than they, and their test scores, realize.
Fair enough still not 100% sure but thats the most likely one so thanks for helping!
Could be a crackhead that got hold to the wrong stuff.

One thing I see a lot in phones with multiple cameras is blotches of light that look a lot like that showing up when the lenses are pointed towards something bright (like the sun or a sunset). I usually assume any light flares in a picture are just a result of that, if it was taken by a phone lol.
The sun was setting
