I took this Saturday when I went to the park with my dog and my ex. We normally frequent the side that isn't pictured here because it's more open and less congested, I also have an allergy to the sun so I wanted the popular side because it's shadier and I was walking with my dog on a leash in one hand, the huge weird sun umbrella I have in the other, so I was all jumbled taking pics for my cousin in Michigan to show him we're still 93 degrees in South Texas in October. I wasn't really focusing, I was just taking pics with my iPhone and trying to get the scenery.
On the way to the park, I saw what looked like a large, large drone hovering over the park when I turned onto the road from our sub that we take and I told my ex, if that's a drone and there's an event in the park, I'm not going, my dog is a rescue and she gets nervous and I don't want to be around a big crowd and she said, what drone? There's nothing. I am driving and looking over at it and I can see it, I said, take a picture, I can't, I've got the wheel but she didn't, she said she didn't see it. I didn't want to go to the park period but my dog needs the exercise and I went anyway. And when we got there, there was nothing, no drone, no nothing and maybe a few people at the park, it was very empty.
I forgot to lock my truck and partway into the park, I sent her back to lock it and it's hot as hell and I have to stay out of the sun even with the umbrella, I have to keep moving and I didn't want to stand around with my dog, she's solid black and it's too hot for her, so we keep moving and I stop to take pics here and there for my cousin, I tried to take ones that depicted all the scenery and later my ex found us on the path and we walked the trails and then walked back and went home. My ex is walking with that Pokemon game too, she's of no help and looking at that thing 24/7, you know, tripping everywhere.
Later that night, I was going through my pics to get them together to text to my cousin and I noticed this black thing in one of the pics with my dog and I thought, well, maybe it's the 2 Boston terriers we saw earlier or maybe someone fell and I caught that on camera so I just zoomed closer and the closer I got the weirder it got. This is one of the only pics that day where my dog alerted, the first pic she's looking away and then something caught her eye and she wanted to go to it and we continued but I never saw anything, I am there hoping we don't run into a snake or javelina or something I need to protect my puppy and me from. Last year she got stung by a scorpion just walking so I have that worry and vigilance when I take her anywhere. I still saw nothing out of the ordinary.
I've shown this pic to friends, family and I've posted it on my IG and only because it's private and I don't hashtag or let anything leak. I owned a tattoo shop for years and would like to keep my privacy and I have it set for private but the people who have seen this are as unnerved and curious as I am. They've all said to go back there, take more pics and post it online on like Reddit or someplace but I don't want to do that until I know it's not a glitch or something that can be explained. I do not want to perpetuate a fraud, even if it's inadvertently, I don't want my name associated with that. I have to be sure this is 'real' in the sense that it's not a glitch and something we can't identify on earth before I get excited and post and share and live la vida loca. I have to be sure first.
I am a writer, I have been in the second round at the Austin Film Festival, I am a sci fi horror writer and this might be up my alley but I am not a tech person at all. I used that Forensic program that members on here use and this thing lights up rainbow colors and has a really thick outline. I don't know what I'm looking at. I don't know what this is. In the 80's we had a lot of double exposure and these camera phones don't do that and even if they did, you have to have the same pic in your roll for it to double expose another image and that still wouldn't explain this thing that I've made myself insane over. I feel like I am being made a fool of. What is this? And the more I messed with it, the more patterns I found in it like when I lightened it with that forensic program, it looks like a body under what looks like a head. Maybe? Is it casing a shadow? Is there weight to it? Density? Heat signature? I don't know how to work programs that aren't made for 5 year olds to answer any of that.
I need this debunked. I need it sharpened or something where we can see what the hell this is. I have ideas on what it is, it's been with me but to catch it, I don't know now. I've included all the pics that are pertinent, the first pic is where she is not looking, then looking and then where we walked after and that was 2 mins after and if you see the scenery we're on top of it supposedly in the last pic, that's where it shows up in the pic but never in person, there's nothing there. I don't know what this means. This thing has what l think looks like a bird head? I can't tell if it's flat like a briefcase or fat with something in it like a suitcase. It doesn't appear in the pic before or after, just that middle one for those seconds I guess, I have included the details from my iPhone, i don't know what else to include to help anyone.
Please run these through your programs and tell me what it is or at least get a clearer image of this thing. This damn thing. Thank you to everyone who helps, I appreciate it. So far the people I know in my life haven't outwardly laughed at me and I don't want that online either. I'm just trying to get a hold of what's gotten a hold of me.
