Description

Photos captured by my father on June 12, 2021, while photographing Crepuscular rays (sunbeams) over the Atlantic. The object was not noticed at the time of capture, only discovered months later during a gallery review.

Timeline & Sequence
• Photo 1 (20:08:31): Taken vertically. A dark, disc-shaped object is visible high in the sky.
• Photos 2 & 3: Taken vertically shortly after. The object is not visible in these frames.
• Photo 4 (20:11:23): Taken horizontally. The object reappears, now much lower, near the horizon line/water surface.

The Observation
The object was present in the area for approximately 3 minutes. Given the trajectory, starting high in the first frame and ending near the water in the last, there is a possibility of a transmedium.

Technical Data
• Location: Madeira Island, Portugal.
• Context: Summer sunset / Crepuscular rays.
