Ok, sorry for my previous post of doubt.. I missed the link. I took the liberty of cropping and blowing up the image for sake of posting.. I have no idea what it could be.

This is clearly another turkey. We can see its eyes reflecting in the glare, we can also see from the outline that it is indeed the same shape as the other turkeys, it just so happens the this paticular turkey happens to be facing the camera. Check out the shape of the turkeys back. All this talk of Turkeys is making me very hugry.

First impression is a trash can with two white trash bags with dark ties. If you scale the picture using the turkeys as a base the dimensions work. Would need to see the site up close to make any real educated guess. What does the ground under the "can" look like? Just not enough information.

Case closed. It's a weather balloon.

I think it would be a good idea for you to go back to the exact same location, and take another picture for us. So we can compare. Thank you.

Ok,I wasn't going to say anything but I did notice that it looks very much like yodas head.

if the person was crouching down its possible,again only a possibility, when people throw ideas out there its only to help get everybody thinking its quite likely it could be something no one has ever seen before. I will be the first person to claim that there is some really weird stuff going on in this world especially in the less populated areas.you never know...........

I patiently read the first 15 pages of this thread. I wanted to read each opinion on here before I gave my opinion, but I simply do not have the patience.
I am not an expert in photography. In fact I know nothing about it. But I live in Southern Illinois and I have hunted turkey for 35 years. I consider myself an expert in hunting wild turkey if there is any such thing as an "expert". I want to make one thing perfectly clear. At least one opinion posted here referred to them as being "dumb". This could not be further from the truth. They have a sharp sense of smell, sight, and hearing. In 35 years I have never gotten with 15 yards of a wild turkey. I have often sat for hours just outside of the "killing zone" of a wild turkey. They are a highly patient bird. based on my knowledge and experience I can say a few things that I know.
1. This object is not a turkey;
2. This object posed no threat to these turkeys.
Assuming that the before, during and after frames being shown here are legitimate, it is also my opinion that no human would have been able to place this object and removed it during these 3(THREE) frames without startling the other turkeys. Admitting no knowledge of photography, I believe this object is within the kill zone of these other turkeys. The average kill zone is between 30 and 50 yards. These birds would, in my opinion, show some acknowledgment of of any other bird of prey that enters this 30 to 50 yard kill zone.. I have watched them become startled by a small sparrow.
All bets are off if these are domesticated turkeys....

EDIT: I should have kept reading. Blue Jay. Good find OP

What is the object on the tripod on the right side of the photo?
Was the camera that the photo was taken from on a tripod as well?
Can you tell us more about the area this was taken in (is it an "empty" field, hilltop, park, etc)?

The base of the unknown object appears to be the same green color as the camera tripod. Is it possible it is some piece of equipment, case, accessory, etc of the tripod object?

Or it could be a sheep with a holloween mask couldn't it? hmm, no, actually I am gonna stick with Yoda it sounds more cooler! yee Yoda.

BTW The mysterious photo was solved a few pages back

I've been an observer in this website for the past few years and signed up as a member not too long ago.

I'm not one to give opinions unless I have something factual to contribute. This is my second contribution reply to this forum.

I believe the object in question might be a "Gyrator". These "Gyrators" popup and popout blending as garbage cans in National Parks and forests. They are not always disguised as green, metal grilled garbage cans, but sometimes taking fancy design of cartoon caricatures (i.e. Frosty the Snowman, etc.) You may be at a beach noticing a new garbage can today and come back tomorrow not to find it.

It is my understanding they are placed "informants" that record "pulsations" and activity in large open spaces. Kind of like "Does a tree falling make a sound if no one is around to hear it?". They may well be a government devised tool or ?????

No, I'm not a loony, paranoid schizophrenic. I overheard this conversation taking place between two Lufthansa pilots while waiting for a flight at the Skyteam Lounge in Zurich.

I've searched the internet for these "Gyrators" and there is no information posted anywhere concerning this phenomenon.

Hope this helps.

I have to say, I read on a thread the other day how the logical posts get ignored while the nutters get all the attention. I see that here.

This is a BIRD.

I am at work right now, I have a crappy computer and 2 terribly poor 17" monitors and I can still see this is a bird simply by zooming in using firefox!! (Cntrl- scroll wheel)

If i was on my own system with proper monitors I dont even think I would need to zoom the image to see it is a bird. You can clearly see the 2 wings as well as the tail, the head is visible but blurry. This had already been said several times, But through I would just reiterate. (the bird is in flight IN FRONT of the grass)

Its a bird!!

I tried to make a few images to show this , unfortrunatley I have only MS paint and a crap computer (worst mouse ever!!).

(all you really is firefox, ctrl + scroll wheel, Oh its a bird!)


Cheers,

If this is a picture of a bluejay then it must weigh about five pounds also if another bird was flying that close to these turkeys then they would be paying attention to it to see if there was any danger present. Turkeys are one of the hardest game to hunt because they so alert to any movement around them.

I'm pretty positive that's the upper torso and head of Cobra Commander with his eyes lit up.

But seriously, something about this gives me the creeps. Maybe it's the "eyes."

did you notice in the original picture the turkey in the back,far right seems to notice what ever is there?he looks like he is looking at the object.

This thread started less than 24 hrs ago and is already up to 21 pages in responses and it is rated as top story..

I know one thing...I...thought I was mentally ill, stunted, and ignorant...i actually feel somewhat better now reading the replies on this topic. Knowing this ... I now can feel confident posting anything whether stupid, ignorant, nonsensical, worthless or whatever with confidence and free from feeling judged.

This means less edits

I didnt read whole thread, I think it was stated many times but I see a bird.





Edit:
Ahh someone posted same thign on prev page

what you are seeing is 2 objects.

notice the motion blur is only on the front greyish object, not the white behind it. i believe we are seeing a piece of trash with a turkey in front of it, who just raised its head as the picture was taken. partielly blocking the trash.

as for what kind of trash, i think its a plastic bag thats gotten caught on a rock. notice the smooth roundish top part that resembles the top of a hat. i think thats the rock, and the wind blew this bag directly at this rock so that the shape of it wrapped around the top of the rock.

maybe about a foot in front of it, making his way out of the brush is the turkey. who lifted his head right as the picture was taken. (me thinks)

also on the white appear to be a small logo of some kind. probably from whatever store the bag originated from.

estimated guesses.

i say its a bird as well. it does look very unusual though. it just seems like there is some blur going on there and a camera anomaly.
