Anomalous photos of the sun? broken links fixed

these pics were taken with my iphone 4 around 3:15 p.m. at Southern Alberta , Canada. Initially I thought I was taking a pic of a huge sundog with a chemtrail/contrail through it. When I came in and looked at my pics I was floored by the anomalous orb below the sun. The day had started out cloudless, by noon it was hazy overcast. When I looked up to take the pictures the sun hurt my eyes like it never has before. Can you all help me out? Is this lens flare?

Your images are only the imagename and no location.

Where are you hosting the images, or where are they hosted?

All three links are broken.

To embed pics:

1/ upload them to ATS - use the "Tools+" menu along the top, and the "pictures" submenu, and follow the instructions for the "upload picture" item on hte left of hte page

2/ when you've uploaded the pic(s), open them in hte picture manager and you get 3 lines of text each for embedding in a different manner - copy the one that is for embedding in ATS - it will start with an "[atsimg]" tag IIRC

3/ Paste the whole ATS image reference into the dialogue for embeding an image - so the test looks something like - "[img]@#%$%^%&( etc - followed by closing tags.

Hope this helps - looking forward to seeing them.

Lens flare.

He is most likely has a predetermined answer to what it is,,,and is only asking..so he get be validated. When validation does not come...he will deny your claim and keep doing so until he is validated. Or not,

Only time will tell.

Yup we got some lens flare in there and a nice sun halo as well as a contrail.

I've said this before, but those two together are a big hint as to what's going on up there...

Do a bit of research on sun halos and contrails and find the common link between the two.

The object is merely lens flare, nothing anomalous about that!

Yeah took a few pics a couple weeks ago and was all omg!!! What is that!? Then decided to go ahead and take video to see if it was still there and sure enough it was and moving along with my camera lens as well I started moving in and out of the sun...awe shucks it was a lens flare and not some crazy alien/niburu/elenin thingy :/ I was highly disappointed. Ahahah

The red bit is a lens flare (an internal reflection or refraction of light inside the lens)
and the halo around the sun is caused by particulates (dust, water, pollution) in the
atmosphere.

it's a lens flare. And isn't your area on fire right now?
Be safe.

Very interesting pictures, what do you think it is?
