There were actually three sightings in 2011, and one of these sightings occurred when a man was taking a photograph of a local landmark, and happened to capture a flying figure in the image to the left of the statue. The man had just been testing out his new smartphone, and did not notice the odd figure in the sky until he went home and looked at his phone’s camera roll to review the images.

In the spirit of things, why not examine this photograph as well?

The best quality photo I found online was posted on Phantoms and Monsters at 902 x 1600 pixels. The image resolution was 72 dots per inch (dpi), which is standard web quality. For reference, a high-quality image able to go to print is preferred to be at least 300 dpi.

As far as the metadata goes, there is no information. This image was either compressed by social media or has been reformatted so many times from the original that there is no information available. Photoshop can usually tell you if the image has been uploaded to Facebook. Although, the image size in pixels is a realistic size for a smart phone six years ago.
