Message from a reader:

*I was photographing the sky over the Bieszczady Mountains last night. In the photo, you can see a loop – as if something was flying and suddenly made a 360° turn. It all happened within just 8 seconds – that's how long the exposure lasted. This is exactly the trail the object left on the sensor during that time. And what was it? Well, that's the question...*

*There was no sound. I was in a remote area, far from any villages. A plane or satellite would leave a straight trail. It also doesn’t look like a camera malfunction. Perhaps it was an insect illuminated by infrared light, or maybe… something we simply can’t explain.*

*The sighting took place on April 16, 2025, around 11:30 PM. Equipment: Sony A7 III, 24mm lens, ISO 12800, 10-second exposure, no flash.*
