Could it be the lens flare?

reply to post by Deaf Alien


My thoughts exactly. It appears to me to be a lens flare.

Not so sure about it being a reflection as some have suggested... But I would bet money that it is either a lens flare or reflection... something besides a UFO.

I'm sorry, but I must: "I'm", "I've just taken this picture", "doorstep", "Yorkshire" and "?".

As for the picture - if you've taken it from your doorstep, then I assume it is not a reflection or light glare on a window or any such thing. Could it be glare from the sun? It looks like a 'lens flare', from the pure white centre and blue hue around it; it also looks 2D and on the lens rather than in the sky.

No one else has asked the obvious, so I shall: did you see it with your own eyes? Or did you see it only when you looked at the photo? I assume the latter, which makes the glare/reflection more likely. Though it does, in a way, almost look like a Prandtl–Glauert singularity (yes, I had to look that up) created when something breaks the sound barrier. Most unlikely though, I feel

It's not lense flare... There isn't a strong enough source of light to create a lense flare.

What this is however is a reflection, This image looks to be taken through a window and the reflection is from a source within the room where the image is taken.

Though I have to say... way to go who ever cleaned the window!! Not smudge in sight!!!

Peace Out,

Korg.

Poster said he took it from his doorstep, which suggests to me that this was taken from outside. Maybe it's still some kinf od flare though, but I don't think it's a reflection. (I'm no expert, but I've seen enough UFO pictures to know what a reflection looks like )

(and I'm sorry to do the pedantic thing, but it's "I've just taken this pic" )

Here is the image with auto adjusted colours. Its is clear to see that the area around the anomaly has a strong source of light around it.

Either this image has been cropped to not show the source of the strong light i.e. the sun.

Or.

This image was taken behind glass with a light bulb reflected off the window.

I would suggest it’s the latter.

All the best,

Korg.

I do hope you are joking....

Looks like a photo of something taken from behind glass with mist or condensation on it...

fair enough on the strong source of light comment, but that source of light seems to run the depth of the picture. I've no idea if that backs up what you say, or what I say I'm still going to plump for some kind of reflection/refreaction (on that we agree) But I'll believe that this was taken outside until corrected by the OP.

why are people so quick to call it a reflection of a window.

From my understanding, windows sit virticle in walls and jets fly up high in the sky, now unles the jet has somehow turned itself into a space shuttle and is doing a virticle take off, I think the window reflection should be thought out again.

I may be wrong, but it is something people whould consider before quickly writting off a picture.

Why is that? Isn't the sun a strong enough source of light to create the lens flare?

Have you ever heard of a Skylight Window??

I meant that there was non visible... As I suggested if this was taken outside, and the anomaly is a lens flare then the image as been cropped to not show this portion of the picture...

The OP may not have cropped the image himself, most digital cameras have options to set the resolution of the image and crop to fit.

All the best,

Only think with sky lights, is that's quite alot of sky, and no frame of the window. Sky lights aren't renowned for being big windows. The OP claims to have taken this from the porch, and as such, i think he should be believed. innocent until proven guilty n all that

This image has been zoomed, so this is why the image gives the impression of a large skyscape.
