What have I captured??

Ritz,

I posted these pictures in another thread and someone suggested I post them here.

I took these on a stormy Sydney afternoon. I was trying to capture some vivid lightning we were having at the time (hense the unusual background). There was nothing, other than the post to the far right, obstructing my view of the sky. No people, no trees or plants, no bugs flying around. The camera was set to burst mode as I planned on taking multiple images but I stopped at 2. I reviewed my photos. The first one was normal, but I missed the lightning. The second one, not lightning but something very unusual and it actually gave me chills when I saw it. I dont know why, but it just did. I knew it wasnt normal. The lense had no dust or fingerprints on it. No lense attachments. What do you think it is.

Here is the other thread

Freeky looking 'ghost tree' or something............
If it was white I would think it positive...but this is so dark......ugh....it cant be positive.

Not a clue beyond simple guesses here.

something awsome ...photo anomaly possibly??? some sort of energy? dont know but looks awsome

Honestly? I'd say it looks like a moving tree branch.

Sorry Ritzmann, I know what it looks like, but its not a branch or any other part of a tree. I thought I made that clear. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to view it.

Was it smoke from your cigarette?
