Yes Alfa did an outstanding job replicating the lens artifact.

wow, well done , star for you sir..
it certainly looks like a lens artefact to me. ....maybe a lens cover would help ??
Indeed the ghosting was a dead giveaway of a lens artifact, and lens hood is a good solution to this problem.

You can even see the optical ghosting of the supposed Hatfield UFO to the right of the main image due to multiple lens optics.
I've personally taken photos with 35mm cameras for the last 34 years and have also worked with professional photograpers in my advertising design work. These photos show optical artifacts.
Jason, to get rid of these optical effects in your pictures you can do the same thing I did and get a lens hood for the end of your lens (and maybe a better coated lens too).
I also am not sure your eyes can have the same effect but I'm reasonably sure we are looking at lens artifacts in the photos.

WOOOHA! That looks Identical to my photo! In fact That looks so much like what I photographed I am a bit shocked!
It seems so inconceivable to me that it was lens flare though, as I saw this object with my eyes! Some have claimed that your eyes can have the same effect. Im unconvinced by that at the minute, I feel I would know if my eyes where playing a trick on me!

Those are strange looking objects.
Although it's a bit of a mystery as to why aliens would be interested in Hatfield.
