This photo of the B-17 right wing was taken by Angelo, a member of the API team working with Fantasy of Flight, at 9:38 p.m. on August 1, 2009.
The image appears to capture what looks like one or more orbs in motion accompanied by some sort of haze or mist.
This photo was taken shortly after another image which showed an orb at the nose of plane.
