2022-07-28 - Mount Rainier National Park, WA - Disk

The pilot announced Mt. Rainier on the left.I was seated by the left window.I immediately took my phone and captured 3 photos. The first photo was the closer of the two and is he default zoom for my smart phone camera. The second and third photos I took I zoomed out to get more of a wide, panoramic angle. The sun was so bright out of the window, I could not see the screen of my phone clearly and was narrowly focused on the screen just to try to get Mt. Rainier in the frame based on the dark silhouette of the mountain, which is all I could see from the phone screen. Once I captured the photos, I put away my phone. I did not see the object with my naked eye, as I was narrowly focused on the camera screen and straining to focus due to the bright sunlight.

An hour or two later during the flight, I retrieved my phone and reviewed the photos and to my surprise there was something seemingly hovering above the mountain. It appears to be a disk or cigar shape.

I inspected the window to which I will still seated to next to it and I could not see any blemish or crack that could have caused this. I also check the camera lens for debris, dust, or other particles, but could not see anything with my naked eye.
