\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<h3>The Analysis<\/h3>\n<p>Metadata analysis indicates the images are the original files, and EXIF metadata was able to be extracted. The image was taken from a Samsung SGH-T599N (5 MP) at a resolution of 1920 x 2560 pixels, using automatic exposure control with ISO 50, an exposure time of 1\/2915 sec and an F-stop of 2.7. With the jpeg quality being 97%, there is no indication that the image file has been compressed. The flash was not utilized.<\/p>\n<p>The time stamp on the metadata indicates it was taken May 9, 2014 at 14:14 hours. Due to initial research, no photo manipulation techniques were employed.<\/p>\n<p>Initial impressions indicated the photo was not manipulated, and no evidence of motion was present when comparing images. There were, however, subtle changes in appearance around the periphery of the anomaly which caused me to consider some sort of meteorological or atmospheric disturbance.<\/p>\n<p>After retrieving the metadata, multiple Google searches for \u201cUFO Stockton, California, 2014\u201d and \u201cClouds in Stockton, California, 2014\u201d for the months of April and May of that year yielded several results. Image results were found that matched the appearance in these images and multiple news article links varied in headlines from May 9 to include \u201cUFO sightings\u201d to descriptions of cloud formations that can cause this kind of appearance.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>After consulting the numerous articles citing this phenomenon, it can be summarized as a \u201cHole Punch Cloud\u201d, which appears as a large, circular gap that usually appears in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. Also called a \u201cfallstreak hole\u201d, it can happen when moisture in a cloud is at a temperature that\u2019s below freezing, but the moisture itself is isn\u2019t actually frozen. According to the Huffington Post, these formations can also be caused by aircraft passing through certain types of clouds.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Here was a <a
