I wouldnt say lens flare...I'm not sure the angle of the light would produce that. As the good folk from Science circles say: It's either fake or unidentified

a reply to: ElGoobero

looks more like a reflection, is that what is in the right hand side of the image also, as it looks like someones front room

Hopefully people with more expertise in images will help, ATS is a great resource for these topics, I am still waiting for definitive proof, I want to believe

Fantastic colour sky...
You dont need to be an expert in photography for this one.

Its taken from indoors, see the reflection bottom right?

Im going with a lamp/house light reflection.

Like your signature says "could be worse" but not much..

Its called a reflection.

It's 100% the reflection of a ceiling light in the room from which the pic was taken.

Some years ago, some similar pics appeared on the webcam feed from Cairngorm ski centre

damn it, you're right. Both of you.

It's a light reflected from the room.

rats.
I mean, thanks for the explanation.
u guys rule.

I'm with everyone else saying it's an interior light, I thought that immediately when I saw it.

Porcelain reflector and incandescent bulb is the first impression, and yea, a reflection from an indoor picture looking outdoors.

Someday Someone's going to get the real McCoy, clear and not fuzzy....irrefutable.



..still... a Star & Flag

Recessed light in the ceiling for sure.

That's a beautiful sunset.

Its a flare.

Here is one I shot two days ago. Its an F-16D on final to Moffett (ISO 14440 1/1000 F6.3 600mm) Flare is usually caused by direct light (the sun is the usual suspect) bouncing around the inside of the lens. A hood and coating helps. The cheaper the lens the more prone as coating etc are more expensive. In this case the head on approach the light source was the landing light on the nose. The flare is to the viewers upper left

Seems like a reflection to me. Reflecting lower right.. upper left (near the ceiling) where a light would be, and you can see the space around the light.

Plan 10.

Just an internal light reflecting in the window glass as already pointed out by others.

Such images cause a lot of confusion and some go viral.

Remember the UFO over Loch Ness back in 2015?

From the same thread of light refelctions in the UK during 2008. I was able to geo locate the building the images were taken from.
