Interesting photo taken from an airplane window. Anyone with better photo enhancing skills want to give some feedback?
This might be a longshot but considering the even distance of the objects and their pattern, this could possibly be a reflection of the reading lights on the window. And the anomaly over the winglet is a reading light from a forward seat.
Just an idea.....
Refraction:
1: deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or energy wave in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as glass) in which its velocity is different
2: the change in the apparent position of a celestial body due to bending of the light rays emanating from it as they pass through the atmosphere; also : the correction to be applied to the apparent position of a body because of this bending
3: the action of distorting an image by viewing through a medium
No worries about the PM. Good thought I’m on a flight next week and will take a look at that possibility. Good thinking outside the box. I love to see what FReepers come up with on threads like this.
maybe some one threw their free peanuts out the window....
I think it’s the wing of his plane. Was he flying Southwest?
Iced waste water or sludge from a jet cruising at a higher altitude.
I knew it!
hehehe
OMG Looter guy going be in Twilight Zone remake of Nightmare of 20,000 feet
There can only be one.....(ok 2 if you count the Harry Reid one)....
Well I think I like this one OMG Put Harry Reid in Shatner seat that be funny LOL!
Well, BYJ is 100)% better looking than Hairy-Scary Reid! LOL!
Could very well be a meteorite. (broken up)
There’s like 12 gazillion tons that fall down each and every day.
Cite your source! :oP
It is most certainly a reflection. Remember, airplane windows have two panes - that’s four reflective surfaces.
And if you look at the original pic, look closely at the leading edge of the winglet. It’s reflecting the sun very brightly. The length, and the fact that is’s almost perfectly parallel to the objects in question...
it’s a reflection.
