On the eve of 16th November 2011 I noticed a distinct light source floating through the regular starry evening sky in the South of Sweden. It seemed to be blinking and glowing in a way not quite like the other blimps and stars I could make out in the dark sky. What mainly caught my attention was the way in which the light source/unidentified object was hovering slowly from North East to South East from where I was standing on my lawn. It seemed to me like the object/light source was much closer to my general area than the other stars visible in the sky. While I had no way of measuring the distance to the object from my home, it seemed more and more unlikely that it was a star, due to the way the object was floating across the sky in relation to other stars in it's vicinity. My best guess was that it was either a satellite or a drone. A rough estimate would be that it was a couple of miles away from me, but that's just gut instinct. Drones weren't as common where I live back in 2011 as they are now. I do admit that it might after all just be a star or an exposure error from the camera itself distorting/blurring the shape of the object . But due to the fact that I was tracking the object with my naked eye for almost an hour prior to capturing photos of it, and noticing it's peculiarities. I do believe there really was a physical object out of the ordinary apparent there somehow.
I'm very sorry about the horrible quality and lack of focus on the object. I blame the pitch black sky and a sub-par digital camera which I used. I also used the zoom function to it's maximum capacity on all but the one picture in which you can see the top of a house in the lower half of the image. I hope you can make any sense of the photos regardless. You might have to download the pictures and zoom in closely in order to notice the object in the black backdrop.
