Something not visible with the naked eye near the Sun

These pics were taken today between 1-2pm, Central Time, USA. I was walking out of Lowes and see contrails and took a few pics...then when I looked at the pics I see this object near the Sun. You can do this too! I took these pics with my cell phone camera. Just take a picture directly at the Sun and wallah! I don't know what planet this is, but I was hoping that by posting here someone smarter than me will know...please advise...

Thanks,

TG

hi there! the link takes me to the registration page... any other links ?

I took some pics of the sun today, but the weird thing is, they looked like the moon. Sounds crazy and I cant explain it. Hopefully someone else saw the same thing.

I`d like to see this picture but I`m afraid no body, me included will sign up just to see a picture you could either embed here or chooses a site that has a direct link to the picture.

I uploaded to ATS media TrueGrit My Album it's the only photos I have uploaded...

That link still ain't working for me dude.

Try this instead everyone: media.abovetopsecret.com/TrueGrit

Probably just a lens flare, have a look using a really strong pair of sunglasses (or multiple pairs) and you will see theres nothing there.

Just use IMGUR

hmm....

I saw this same thing in another thread.......it was a video of the sun, but he used the reflection from a pool..

Anyone know what this is?

Were these pictures taken through glass?
Second line.

Anything like this, that can't be seen with the naked eye but only turns up when a picture is taken, is an optic anomaly in the camera... in this case, a lens flare. I'm always suspicious when someone says something only appears when they look at the pictures...if you couldn't see it in the first place, it probably wasn't there. In this case, a picture really isn't worth a thousand words... you should really have said you could see it with your naked eye.

I don't think it's an image flare...I took the pictures again when I got home with my daughter's iphone and it has the same thing...she's not here or else i would have her send me her pics...

lens flare maybe?

Why should I have said it's visible to the naked eye? It's not! If it is, my eyes don't have the capacity to focus in on it...thus, it's not visible to the naked eye! Just asking folks...I don't know what it is...

Interesting. It could be a flare, but the object seems too well defined (perfectly round) while lens flares are usually messy. And the orb himself projects a red flare - like the sun itself - making it appear as a concrete sky object and not an optical phenomenon. It's also true that when you take shots of our star cameras have to be really good set and with the right filters to avoid troubles and overexpositions. Intriguing, I have to say.
Just my two cents, I am not a professional photograph.
