I took this pic while camping just east of San Diego, CA about a year ago. Camp Cuyamaca.
I was taking random pics with my digital camera of the site just before sundown. I never saw this with my own eyes, I saw it a minute later while going through the few I just shot.
I thought it would be easier to find interested people and I don't know how I feel about this kind of stuff but I thought it needed to be out there for the pros to analyze.

Smoke from a fire behind that log?

But of course you're gonna say that there was no fire. So I suppose my real answer... I don't know enough about you or the circumstances involved to even make an educated guess.

[Kyle Richard M.]

I'm not a hardcore debunking kinda person but, I think that is just cigarette smoke. Was anyone smoking at the time that this was taken?

[skeptik19]

nope. no fire. there is about 20 yards from me to the log/stump and another 20 yards to the trees.

How did I know!  


You'd think I'd been doing this for a long time or something....

San Diego... It's hippies. It's always hippies in San Diego or San Fransisco.

Nah, San Diego has the surfers.

Smoke of some sort, looks close to the camera.

Smoke. That's all it is, plain and simple. There was a fire there or something else that could produce smoke, whether you were aware of it or not. Then again, I suppose that I'm being a bit too cynical here. Feh.

reflection of the sun or sky off of a smudge on the lens, thats my 1st guess. I took a rainbow picture a few weeks ago and behold had a ufo in the picture only it was really a micro raindrop on the lens.

Looks to me like either a flaw in the film or a smudge on the lens somewhere.

[psychoticmike]

probably smoke. Does anyone else see the many faces in the mountain and trees behind it?

oh and your lense looks pretty dirty.

I know this is a typical answer but it looks photoshopped, it really does. I am not accusing you, in case you get all angry at me. Just my opinion.

[skeptik19]

I expected all of this and more.
it's the internet

Well, yeah. Did you think you would post that pic and get handed an award for providing proof for the existence of ghosts or something? Of course it and you will be questioned.
