The photo shows antenna in the foreground which is a telephone guy wire. The photographer was standing on a hill having a clear view of the traffic. The camera used in the picture is a digital camera with an 85mm f1.8 lens. The photographer intentionally took the picture in black and white. He said that he usually shoots in black and white at night to avoid getting bluish and orange tint because of incandescent lights and mercury vapor. Some digital cameras are usually not good in dealing with color temperatures especially with different light sources.
The photo is dated August 23, 2012 at 8:56 in the evening, Thursday. It was taken on Volunteer Parkway Bristol, Tennessee, around 5 miles North from Bristol motor speedway.
It is race day folks, in Bristol TN, the race capital of the world. This is a BLIMP. There are there all weekend long.
Thanks for that info.
This looks nothing like any blimp I've ever seen. It reminds me of the "floating platform" as described by one witness of the Belgian triangle sightings back in the 90's.
Rather incredible shot! <br /><br />I constantly wonder if this phenom' will be admitted by government in our lifetime, or if they will even register some passing interest in the overwhelming frequency of these occurrences?<br /><br />Guess not……………..

I was on my back porch. At first I thought it was a plane, but the low rumbling sound wasn't like any plane she or I had ever heard. I also thought it was at at very low altitude and almost
I live in Bristol and I saw something very strange just two nights before this sighting. I reported it to MUFON just in case someone else saw something as well. The skies of Bristol seem to be busy. Curious indeed.
Its a blimp, they are everywhere during race week
its funny to me how some folks can get on here and with such certainty declare this is a blimp, but I live at the racetrack in Bristol, tn and I have seen this craft so many times I have lost count and it most definatly is not blimp and I have seen it when the races were not going on, I recognize the 2, long, rectangular windows, it also has 4 white lights that are on this maltese cross looking thing and i can say this with certainty, I have also seen a silver, disc shaped flying saucer near the track in the daylight hours and I have seen huge balls of lights as big as a hot air balloon falling through the sky on 3 occasions
