It looks kind of like lens flare but idk where that would come from... maybe the moon.. weird

Looks to me like your stock standard OOF ufo photo - like millions of others taken every year.
- or could be some kind of lens flare....

JBishop0 · 6th of July 2009 (Mon)

Queue theme to The Twilight Zone!

Seriously though, at what were you pointing the camera?

Did you have a filter on the lens? I’ve had similar looking flare with a UV/IR block filter fitted, from the planet Jupiter which was in the field of view.
