Sometimes people do lie too.

Seen with the naked eye? Must be a Lens Flare or the Planet Venus. Nah, its more appropriate to call the person a Liar in that case if what they saw doesn't fit in with your overall belief system.

I remember a case on ATS where the UFO was dirt on a windshield. An ATS member went to interview the photographer who insisted the photo wasn't taken through the windshield. It turned out she was lying. So people do lie sometimes, but hopefully not in the majority of cases. More often I think people are just poor eyewitnesses and this is only human and has nothing to do with lying.

Wouldn't lens flare be in front of the branch?

But people are always quick to jump to these "Lens Flare" "Venus" "Ice Crystals" "Swamp Gas" conclusions on any given UFO thread when at times, it clearly states that the witness seen it with their own two eyes.
That is why people need to start calling folks like these a Liar and stop bringing up these debunking items that have no bearing regarding the sighting.

It's a lens flare, the dots means nothing.
It sometimes means "have a nice day".

Yeah, people need to say "Liar" instead of Lens Flare in this case. Because the person claims that they seen it with their own two eyes.

I live on the Gulf Coast and I also saw this driving home. I almost pulled over but it was rush hour traffic.
No, no. It's already been proven a hoax, lens flare, and a faked cropped image. You couldn't have seen it in real life with your real eye. /sarcasm off

To all 'believing ' in the lens flare theory please do yourself a favour and instead of believing just research and come up with identical lens flare..i searched tons of images and couldn't find a match.

I agree... anyone who thinks it is a lens flare must take into account that the photographer would be lying in that case. I think the photographer saw the pictures and made up the story afterward and that they are lens flares, but that is just my opinion.
Try 100% sure it's lens flare. I see no conflict of that with the honesty of the photographer, and when people say there's a conflict I'm disappointed at their skills in interpreting journalism where we rarely get the full accurate story.

I can't imagine someone throwing themselves to the dogs like that, but, people are strange, so anything is possible.
Anyway, I'm at 90% "It's a lens flare" with just a 10% tiny benefit of the doubt towards the photographer's potential honesty.
