Object/Formation near a cloud

A friend of mine took this image last weekend, around 1:25pm, Idaho.

Taken with a 2.0MP Camera phone.

It certainly does look out of place/odd.

I have no idea what the red/pink circular ring is. Maybe from the lens?

Thoughts...anyone?

its called a reflection

Smartass, go play somewhere else.

He's not kidding...

It's a lens flare, an artifact of light. You can even see the rainbow in it.

Shooting into the sun with a camera phone. I am surprised there are not more reflections there.

I wish the makers of camera phones would make them higher quality. Perhaps use glass lenses instead of plastic ones, and increase the resolution of the ccd's.

It would be nice if the airlines washed the windows every once in a while also.

It looks to me like there is a spot right on that "trail" that is causing the "reflection" or whatever the streak is.

I think it is a cool pic.

Thanks for the replies, that white 'cloud' object was just sitting there. Then all of a sudden it was gone. It wasn't from the phone, It was definitely something. I saw it. I had left for 5 seconds, clouds stayed in the same position, but the object was gone. Just thought I'd help out the ufo/alien section.

ps. I am ferengis friend typing.

You thought you'd help out this section by posting a low-quality picture taken from a camera phone through the window of an airplane looking into the sun?

Good call. Fascinating thread. You've provided the field of ufology a wonderful addition.

Well, it looks like a reflection. I have never seen such a pretty pink circle of reflection before, its my favorite color.

Of course I like this picture, but I am one of the chemtrail nutballs.
