To all the Canon shooters here. I have a 6D and was shooting some architecture in Las Vegas. I shot this of a building and a plane taking off from McCarran airport. Take a good close look at the airplane. It is a Southwest 737, BUT the plane seems to have a double image. The shutter speed is not the culprit, Focus is good, no camera shake, so how did this happen??? It's up to the experts here to tell me why. And this is not a trick question. Strange artifact here that needs some explanation.

Possible reflection for a UV filter on the lens?
My thought is a UV or Filter. It's not shake.
The photo has been PP'd, there is actually a triple image
there and you can tell the area has been dodged.

Yes, I can see the third image faintly, and when zoomed the editing is there of some type. Gotta agree.

Agreed... JPEG can create some unusual artifacts where contrast/color differences exist, but as seen below in the crop area taken from the download, the artifacts are non-linear and the tail markings (SOUTHWEST) is non-existent in the "original" image, but shows up in the "ghost" image.
There appears to be another, even lighter, ghost image to the left of the first.
Now, if this was taken from inside a room with a double pane window, reflections "can" be visible, but they wouldn't be missing image data, they would just be less saturated.
IMHO

Sorry. don't use a UV filter or a polarizer on this shot.

Nope, no PP done on this. Straight from the camera.
If no PP, then I suggest you try another pic with similar subject matter, ie: moving subject referenced to still subject.
If effect recurs, I suggest repair is in order.
A double exposure on still subject would not show up, but on moving subject, would.
Could be a memory dump issue.
BTW, have you checked for latest firmware updates?

It looks like a bad cloning job to me.
:-(
Really strange, I'm hoping someone comes up with a reasonable explanation for this.

Is it possible that you may have inadvertently had the camera set to multi-exposure merge mode? As I recall, someone here on UHH accidentally produced something very similar to this about a year ago because of that special camera feature.

Yes, I would like to know since it is dealing with my camera.

I don't know if a 6D camera is capable of this effect. If it is, I don't know how to do use this feature.
Have you seen this with any other photos?
As suggested, try another shot for comparison...
Maybe a moving car on a street nearby...
