Methinks they're lens flares and that's probably why they aren't on here already.

Hello everyone,
Well just found this article and did not see it posted anywhere on ATS. If it is sorry everyone. Well the story is that 2 mysterious and identical UFO's almost 1,000 miles apart have been observed on Google Maps raising questions as to what they are and how they were photographed there in the first place. The most popular theory as to what the orbs are in reality are sun glare from the camera or the reflected arches of a McDonald's restaurant. Really well pretty cool. My opinion?
Well we are seeing lots and lots of eye witnesses these days, pictures, videos, of UFO etc…… and this well phenomena is not going away in fact I think MORE AND MORE people are starting to say…hey more and more people see these things….I am not crazy, the people who saw it are not crazy, why all the secrecy and stereotypes and why not take these things seriously and get to the truth? . Anyways what do you guys think? 1000 miles apart almost same shape pretty cool. You can find the artickle and pics here. Again sorry if this was posted before.

You are getting some first hand experience in learning to identify lens flares. It's a start....

Remember this was shot with the street view cam which isn't a normal camera .
Here is some analysis just for you
It is lens flare
if you'll also notice, all images of lens flare has the sun clearly visible in the shot. that's why this story is on the news. no one can explain it.

For being a lens flare it sure is very real looking!!
People are HOPING for a REAL UFO!! I am one of them! They just need to go ahead and land on the Washington Monument Park and make themselves known! Unless of course it is part of a treaty that they are not allowed to...

"I examined the Google Earth photo in question. This is a simple, but classic, lens flare," Dantonio told The Huffington Post in an email. "It is oriented exactly perpendicular to the sun, which is, of course, the source of the lens flare. The red color -- although apparently odd -- is not really unexpected. Color can be related to chromatic aberration where the light rays do not reach the same focal point, causing the final artifact to appear in a primary color like red, green or blue," said Dantonio, who creates special effects and prototype models for U.S. government projects.

no idea was taken by special cameras for Google map........does not look like sun flares to me but I am just a normal guy with eyes that usually see what is there. That said was not there physically so who knows all I know is that if it is the sun it should be in many shots that they took but not 2 separate pictures from 1000 miles away. This fact alone kind of make me think. : ) Plus these cameras are really high end cameras.

Every lens design will produce it's own characteristic lens flare, that will be different from flare produced by a different lens design.
This would explain why the same camera/lens (assuming that Google uses identical cameras/lenses) captured very similar "UFOs" at different locations.
By the way, technically what we are seeing here is a "ghost" or "ghosting", although it comes under the general heading of "lens flare". To me (and many other photographers out there) the term "lens flare" means a general loss of contrast in an image, which can include "ghosts" sometimes, but not necessarily all the time.

Veiling Glare AKA lens flare[/b
Veiling glare is stray light in lenses and optical systems caused by reflections between surfaces of lens elements and the inside barrel of the lens. It is a strong predictor of lens flare— image fogging (loss of shadow detail and color) as well as “ghost” images— that can degrade image quality in the presence of bright light sources in or near the field of view. It occurs in every optical system, including the human eye.
