Hello! It's been a while since I've posted here, but an unnerving incident tonight has brought me here seeking answers. I'm posting this in General Forteana for lack of knowing where to put it, as I have no idea what the mysterious photos might have captured at all, but please move it to a more appropriate place if necessary.
The story is this: a close friend of mine, while walking home tonight, took a picture of the moon above the building where he lives. He sent me the picture via his phone, and I told him the moon looked very nice, but what was that shape in his living room window? At first, I thought it was a cat, but then remembered my friend didn't have a cat. He was rather startled, as he'd only been paying attention to the moon and not to his darkened window.
He'd taken two pictures, as it happened, both times catching this odd shape, but in the second picture, it had clearly moved.
We've spent the evening poring over the pictures; my friend has been outside his building trying to recreate the scene, but no luck. According to my friend, there are no traffic or Christmas lights to reflect off the windows, and subsequent photos show nothing.
He's really spooked!
Any idea what is captured in these pictures? They were taken with an iPhone 12.
The first photo is the shape I at first took for a cat, the second was taken in quick succession, the third shows the window normally. Two enlarged versions of the relevant areas are included. (I hope this works!)
