Description

Taken by a friend during a 1979 grade school baseball game. We've wondered what this was for 43 years now. Central WA, Pentax K1000, shutter speed either 1/500 or 1/1000th sec. on Tri-X Pan. (notice the pitcher's arm position). If it was something airborne it would've been moving pretty fast considering the camera's settings.

Something physical or just an odd flaw in the film? I still have the negative, and there doesn't seem to be any physical defect in the emulsion.

The object wasn't noticed at the time photograph was taken.
