This photograph was submitted by the father of the person who took the photograph. His report and comments are below:
Summer of 2003 out of Trout Lake, WA., on Flat Top Mtn. Mt. Hood can be seen in the distance. They stopped to take a picture of Mt. Hood because it "was beautiful". My son took the photo, and is very reliable, he did not see or hear anything until he downloaded the image onto his computer. I have NO REASON not to believe this. My son was an honor student, doesn't lie, and is an internationally ranked martial artist, who's life has been centered around truth, tolerance, understanding, and reason.
I am an engineer, & ex-commercial pilot who used to work for the Forest Service as an aerial observer (in the old days), and was also a search-and-rescue pilot. Also, have been a reserve policeman for about 28 years!
Other Comments:
"The person taking the photo didn't see it when he took the photo, but when it was downloaded onto his computer. Zoom in on it. Interesting. I can assure you, this is not a hoax or faked picture. We don't know what it is."
"If you want more info., let us know. I've been a skeptic, but now am wondering! Thanks."
(Thanks to Ron Schultz for sending us this photograph and background information.)
