On Sunday, 5 October, my wife and I were walking towards the Smithsonian Institution when this picture was taken. Neither of us retired anything unusual at the time, and I think that if this "not" on the register and picture, would be a thing of reality, we should certainly have noticed it.

If we would now hear anything about "things" and "objects", we would not send this to you, beyond a doubt, but what looks like a spot could be some thing different. Better note those new.
