well, it is technically, an UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT!

Flew between me and the Sun while shooting the Sun.

Total real time was less than a second, it's slowed down here.

It's either a large bird (probably a hawk on our farm, we see them often), drifting sideways on the wind, or a satellite.

I looked up satellites over me at the exact time (June 13 2026.
18:55 and 3 seconds US West Coast time) on https://in-the-sky.org, and there were over 20 during this 3 seconds.

What do you think it is?
