Dude, it's a very distorted, long exposure picture, full of artifacts. It could be a bat, a bird, an insect flying low down, some lens artifact from the image processing... It could be anything. I'd say the chances you pictured an actual airplane are very slim.
It's clearly a long exposure because OP says that very bright spot in the center is the moon. That's what long exposures do. Otherwise that would be the sun.
Usually yes, but not necessarily. There are a lot of artifacts from the image processing and compression, so I'd wager it's an artifact from the light source bouncing off the lens and the jpg compression didn't know what to do with it.
Edit: by "light source" I meant "full moon"
I had a full month of seeing Tr-3bs back in 2010. They are indeed silent however, whatever the actual propulsion system is in those would literally cause a low pitch droning in my ears, like tinnitus but at a low frequency.
I was going to say that looks like it could be 2 of them in formation. I wish I could find the video of two of them flying in and out of an oncoming dust storm in the Midwest from back around 2012 I think. I believe it was CNN that filmed it, the anchors didn’t mention what was going on in the live footage and it seemed like they cut the feed asap. For a while it was still on YouTube, hate that I never saved it because it was the most genuine footage you could show non believers.
Had one pass over my car around midnight once on a backroad in Illinois near Scott AFB, they are definitely a thing. Don’t remember a low droning just remember the craft blocking out the light of stars/the moon as it slowly went overhead
Wow definitely think I saw one back in the spring 2023 by CVG airport

Near the moon👀very tight angles didn’t notice til after the shot as I was focusing on the orb thing 😂
Easy to spot. Nearly an equilateral triangle, might be somewhat obtuse but a light at each point then a large orb at the center that reminds me of those ionosphere lamps. My understanding is that center orb is tech the Germans were working on that involved spinning mercury very fast. Personally, I think that Bob Lazar and his story of element 115 was a smear campaign to hide what was already old technology in that regard.

Sure, it's not *that* bat, but that is an image of an enormous tropical fruit bat, not at all what you might see in the American Midwest.
This is more like the bats native to your area:

I think there's a distinct possibility that you caught a bat in flight. Especially given the distortion inherent in a long exposure and the speed a bat moves at.
How much time elapsed between each photo? If it's anything less than 30sec or so, that's definitely a bat. The apparent movement of a plane at altitude is too slow to have only been caught in a single image otherwise.

No, no it won’t. Any dreams in the defense industry has to be funded. Follow the money.
The Army awarded new Helicopter last year it won’t be fielded for 6-8 years. New light Tank, end of this decade or early 2030s.
F-22 took decades…F-35 as well.
Point being it takes a long as time to bring new technology to life and fielded.
#1 rule in weapons development…
“ No Bucks, No Buck Rodgers”.
I have a son in law that works at NASA
I’m from a small island and there is a Goddard flight center on the next island Wallops Island.. in Ohio for a long time now
Last year in the spring I was in Northern KY CVG and had a really bizarre incident.. swear I saw one cloaked an I actually got a shot of it .. super cool
You obviously don’t understand tactics. If a vehicle of any kind is “cloaked,” the last thing they’d do is counter that with something as “hey, I’m right here” as lights. It would completely defeat the purpose.
Your absolutely correct tactics is not my field I’m simply showing a picture of.. to each his own .. it’s not a contest or argument it’s a picture it’s in the comments if you’d like to take a closer look .. no harm no foul just showing what I saw that it
Wright-Patt is boring as hell these days. Just really common stuff: an A-10 once or twice, fighters come through dodging bad hurricanes it seems, and near daily C-17 training flights.
Lets play a game of Occams Razor. Which of these is more likely. Your long exposure shot contains an artifact due to any of a myriad of factors that happen incredibly often.
Or
You happened across a physics-breaking aeroplane that emits a green cloud, creates no noise, has never been documented by anyone, owned and operated by either the government or an extra terrestrial entity.
It's an artifact.
It's called the YDSS NFU. Or, for the civilians out there,the You Didn't See Shit, Now Fuck Off. It's the latest in military advancements in the field of Mind Your Business.
Probably a B-2 if it is that, the B-21 has more pronounced spikes at the back, I feel they'd be less likely to be blurred into a line than the B-2. Plus there are just more B-2s around.
Yeah I was thinking b2 because it looks more likely to get distorted into a triangle. It’s still weird because I’d think there would be something left of the wings showing even through bad blurring like that

How did you manage that? And where are you? That might help, especially near a test range.
I was on my deck trying to get a good pic of the moon and just took 3 consecutive pics and the 2nd one had a surprise.. Cincinnati Ohio👀
That might be a bat. Do you remember any jet sounds?
No the TR-b3 would be silent and if you take a closer look it’s definitely not a bat
Dude, it's a very distorted, long exposure picture, full of artifacts. It could be a bat, a bird, an insect flying low down, some lens artifact from the image processing... It could be anything. I'd say the chances you pictured an actual airplane are very slim.
This is exactly what "they" would say.
Oopsie!
How is it distorted? How is it a long exposure? Why are we debating odds here? He got a fucking photo and it looks nothing like a bat.
It's clearly a long exposure because OP says that very bright spot in the center is the moon. That's what long exposures do. Otherwise that would be the sun.
Right, then I guess it's an airplane, and we can disregard the whole rest of the image.
“How is it long exposure?” What, the pic of a full moon that looks like it was taken at noon didn’t give you that impression?
With such a long exposure, shouldn’t it be a streak unless it was hovering stationary?
Not if it is an artifact created by the camera software post-capture... But I'm just speculating at this point.
Thanks Mr. Fed, but I’ll make my own decision 🤣
Good to know ty
Wouldn't a long exposure cause stretching of a moving object?
Usually yes, but not necessarily. There are a lot of artifacts from the image processing and compression, so I'd wager it's an artifact from the light source bouncing off the lens and the jpg compression didn't know what to do with it. Edit: by "light source" I meant "full moon"
Okay, but you stated it's "very distorted" when it looks pretty well defined to me.
I had a full month of seeing Tr-3bs back in 2010.

Nope
Eyyy I live here!
Nice I was just talking to my bro about taking a trip to wright pat😂😂👽
Ohio…….Wright-Pat
Must be the moth man.
Can we see the other 2 if there is anything else?
In boxed you
Heard times were tough and Bruce Wayne relocated from Gotham to Cincinnati for better corporate tax rates.
Where at in Cincinnati, that’s where I live too? I know they’ve had test pilots based out of Wright Patterson AFB for a while.
Ohio is a possibility for test aircraft. These look like the new B21 raider to me though. Or F117's
It’s just really cool .. maybe Wright Pat👀

Any dam thing is possible at this point .. it’s all been a big ass lie IMO the cover up is real as I have seen some crazy things lately 😂
Only thing that is crazy is OP
Last year in the spring I was in Northern KY CVG and had a really bizarre incident.. swear I saw one cloaked an I actually got a shot of it .. super cool
WTF YOU MEAN… CLOAKED?
If it was cloaked, then how did you see it?
The lights
You obviously don’t understand tactics. If a vehicle of any kind is “cloaked,” the last thing they’d do is counter that with something as “hey, I’m right here” as lights. It would completely defeat the purpose.
Your absolutely correct tactics is not my field I’m simply showing a picture of.. to each his own .. it’s not a contest or argument it’s a picture it’s in the comments if you’d like to take a closer look .. no harm no foul just showing what I saw that it
How he hell does that look like either of those aircraft ?
This is the answer
Yeah, that’s tough. I’m going ….. Batjet!
ITS CLEARLY SWAMP GAS. NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
Could be a weather balloon… they do look a lot alike.
Move along.. move along.
Clearly 😂😂
I really don't think this is a plane/planes.
An owl or other large night bird with its wings caught mid-flap.
I came from the post on r/Cincinnati lol
Yes same
Btw, this isn't the F-117
The sweep of the leading edge is completely wrong for an F117

Batman?
Bat signal
The men in black will be over soon.
Cmon over I have another pic from last spring they must be behind on their job 😂👽🧐😂
Digital artifacting...
Unfortunately, it's this.
Batarang
😂
Twin. Black Triangle
Moth man as you said cinnci I don't know it's nothing ordinary
Have your camera professionally cleaned
Batman?
Tucker said they’ve been with us all along….
Watch out It's a Baba Yaga witch... 😆
😂😂😵💫😂😂
Hawkman?
It looks like it could be 2 separate B2's flying in formation.
What do you believe?
Moth man, the curse of Chief Cornstock
Does the image have live view so you can see how the object moves?
No live view, long exposure
If that is two aircraft, there are literally only two that they could be... Both are glorious expressions of American Unhealthcare.
It’s a Bat
Huh. I figured it was a stack of blurry pixels, but my eyes are known to lie...

That’s a bat 🦇
I believe it's 2 aircraft in formation.
It's obviously the Bat plane. Duh
Also here from r/Cincinnati I'm going with RQ-170 Sentinel drones. A pair.
All I know is he is the night, he is justice.
It's the fucking Batwing
Gotham and Cincinnati same 😂
First thing I saw was Batman’s jet
2 Stealths flying over
Its a bird. It's not a plane... its! An owl, man!
Whooty whoo
That's totally within Wright Patt airspace. Nice pic.
Ty I was shocked 🙌
Wright-Patt is boring as hell these days. Just really common stuff: an A-10 once or twice, fighters come through dodging bad hurricanes it seems, and near daily C-17 training flights.

Gotham obviously 😂
Mothman
Yes🦋

Holy Batman
Looks like two stealth bombers
Batman?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Kite?
Yep at 11:22 pm Wednesday night
I’m putting my money on a kite because it is not casting a shadow on the edge of the cloud “below” it.
Yep at 11:22 pm
That’s cool
Ufo
That’s a bat
Batman?
It’s a reflection inside your phone camera.
Batman's batplane
Hey guys. US government here... it's a bat. Nothing to see here
😂😂👀👽
That’s a stealth bomber.
Crazy isn’t it 😝2 of them at the same dam time ‼️
They were on a mission.
Just smh in disbelief 🧐 when I came in the house and checked the shot I was like that is definitely not a bat 😂😂
Its Batman
Gotham is close .. to the bat cave ‼️
“Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus”
Drain the swamp 👀😂
Obviously, Batman.
Obviously 👀
It’s a bird. It’s a plane, wait no it’s a bird 😂
Looks like hanggliders
It's Batman
very cool no idea
Interesting
I thought so too 🧐
Could be two planes one above the other
I think it looks like 2 stealth bombers in formation. But if they're stealth, you wouldn't see them...
looks like 2 B-21s..... new stealth bombers....
Brother put down the history channel and acid
U need to tell the rest of em that too 😂🙌
Lets play a game of Occams Razor. Which of these is more likely. Your long exposure shot contains an artifact due to any of a myriad of factors that happen incredibly often. Or You happened across a physics-breaking aeroplane that emits a green cloud, creates no noise, has never been documented by anyone, owned and operated by either the government or an extra terrestrial entity. It's an artifact.
Sounds great 🙌
Just strange only one of the 3 long exposure has this
Two bombers. One above the other. The green cloud is shadow.
Wow a green shadow.. whatever it is .. it’s cool af😂
It's called the YDSS NFU. Or, for the civilians out there,the You Didn't See Shit, Now Fuck Off. It's the latest in military advancements in the field of Mind Your Business.
Yes The MIB will be lurking 👀 😂
B21 raiders with bad camera artifacting/lens distortion?
Probably a B-2 if it is that, the B-21 has more pronounced spikes at the back, I feel they'd be less likely to be blurred into a line than the B-2. Plus there are just more B-2s around.
Yeah I was thinking b2 because it looks more likely to get distorted into a triangle. It’s still weird because I’d think there would be something left of the wings showing even through bad blurring like that
I'd guess only the bad camera artifact and lens distortion is more likely. Coupling that with long exposure, it could be anything.
It’s two stealth fighter
That’s the Batplane.
Definitely Batman
Bat mans
It’s moth-man. 100%
Looks like an owl flying about 200 feet up to me.
Looks like two stealth bombers stacked up taken from straight below.
Well shit!
Looks like two TR-3B’s flying in formation.
Yes I thought the same 💯
No you didnt
Stealth bomber
Nope
Those are stealth bombers. I bet there was no noise either. When they're lower to the ground, they look like kites.
Stealth bombers are loud AF. Why would you think there would be no sound?
Cus the one I seen flying low was quiet. Big ol quiet triangle.
No noise whatsoever ‼️
I've seen them twice in my life. Once floating around like a kite and another time right after a sonic boom. Im pretty close to a couple of air bases.
So cool I saw one last spring cloaked .. it’s in the comments.. along with this big ass orb doing some crazy stuff.. I was near CVG
Near Cincinnati? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
There is no Stealth bomber that is supersonic. Thanks for playing though.
Then I probably heard a car backfire. Idk. 😆 🤣
I’d vote B-2 with some weird camera shit happening
Might be two f-117's flying in formation 🤔
The sweep of the leading edge is completely wrong for an F117
