That is very odd Duncan, you should send it up somewhere for investigation/explanation.

I found the same object some-one else posted on another forum>

In your image it looks more convex, but in his image it looks more like a crater, but still has 2 square walls - and still odd.

Another case of I can see it but you can't. 

I don;t think it's posted up as a URL link - I don;t like to copy some-one else's image, so better leave it.

It should help to identify it.

It's because it's an image on a forum that you can only see by being a member and logging in.

Yes, I thought it was a URL link, but now realise it wasn't and I don't think I should copy and re-post some-one else's image.

No but there was evidence of some bright lights at one point.

If it's Walther it should look like my other post at the same magnification which is definitely Walther.
