Description

Seen during the recent northern lights display.

Time: 4:51am CST 11/12/2025
Location: northern Illinois.

Camera facing almost directly northward.

Photo taken with an iPhone 15, exposure about 5 seconds.

Middle left white streak. Doesn’t appear to be a plane. All the other stars are not streaked, so not camera movement. Seems to show a tail, so maybe a comet, but couldn’t find any visible at that time of day.

Note that it is merely unidentifiable to me. Not saying it is an alien craft.

Any help would be appreciated.
