ID Help PLEASE!

I recently had a surprise after uploading some images. I had gone out to a favorite spot to shoot single objects against a lonely background. Its something I've always been drawn to. I remember setting up the shot by trying to balance the exciting and ominous sky with the lone object. Made sure I had the object positioned on the thirds and took several shots. When I uploaded the images to my computer, one of the files had this extra, unexplained object in them. How did I not see this when shooting? Where the hell did it come from? This has got me a bit rattled and I would like some input. Please confirm what I'm seeing in this shot. I sure didn't see it when shooting but, for the life of me, it looks like a leafless tree on the crown of the hill.

Yeah, Marc, and here I thought we were supposed to ID what galaxy/dimension the object in the upper left came from.  That's a wonderful sky and it's very nicely balanced with the hill and the poor, lonely, cold, leafless tree.  The saucer's colors and brightness match very well.

Hope they're okay inside.  Looks as if there was a bit of scorching on re-entry.
Nice to see you posting again, it seems to have been awhile.  Always enjoy your inventive artistry.

Very cool shot, glad you captured this UFO while also discovering the leafless tree. The whole image works together extremely well. Love it!

Cute write-up, Marc.  Nicely composed image with excellent blending.
