UFO Sighting in Bainbridge Island, Washington on June 13th 2015 – High res image of a flashing/pulsing light ascending in the path of the ISS…
Saturday, June 13th around 10 pm I was outside on my property with my son teaching him long exposure night photography. We noticed the ISS coming from the southwest. We swung the camera around to its direction. I was shooting with a canon 5D Mark III with a 18-35 L glass lens on a Manfrotto tripod. I shoot in Raw format as well.
When the ISS was in the lenses field of view I pressed the shutter then went back to looking at the sky. We watched the ISS moving fast and very bright. In the path of ISS we saw a flash of light. I asked my son if he saw that, he said yes. As the ISS continued towards the flash we saw it again in the same position only a bit higher. We could faintly see it moving higher as the station was approaching its position. It seemed to pulse as it was rising. It was dimmer in luminance then a satellite and then seemed to be gone, then flashed.
Once the ISS passed the position of the flashes we stared at the sky but could no longer see the light. I scrambled it hit the shutter button again to take another photo. It was about 20 seconds later that I took another 30 second image. On the first 30 second image that I took you can see the streak of light from the ISS and the movement of the stars. You can also see a pulsing dim light and we caught one of the flashes. There is no streak as the subject seems to be stationary but rising between pulses. There is also no movement in the flash.... I have the original untouched raw photos and still have the original images on the SD card...
Thank you for your interest...
