Weird dust blob / orb picture.

I was trying to take a picture of two deer that were munching on some grass. (If you look close you might see two brown, blurry blobs.)

Anyway, I captured this blob entering the atmosphere, lol.

Dust, pollen or just an orbish looking thing? Thoughts?

UFO???? Fascinating photo.

Cool! Love it when things like this happen, they're real talking points.

Unfortunately I think if it's film, it's perhaps a light leak or damage to the film or if it's digital, there's something on your sensors and you might want to very carefully clean them.

Wow .is it a UFO.LOL .I experimented with my old 35mm camera years ago when I was photographing the moon and the stars.I left my camera shutter open for a couple of hours and got the movement of the moon and the stars.It came out great.But some how that Stop and Shop or Kmart lost my film package for about a month before they called me to pick it up.I got a feeling they were checking the negetives for UFO's or other stuff.

Looking at the shot here It could be the sun reflecting from an airplane .Or metoer showers .

I miss experimenting with my 35mm camera.

I took the pic with a cheapie Nikon digital coolpix, so it's probably dust like ButterCookie suggested. I have no idea what a sensor is or how to clean it.

I thought it only showed up in the one pic, but on second look I see another tiny glow (3rd pic) so now I'm wondering if it had something to do with the sunset?

The last pic on the right is the the one I resized to post here.

I really suck at picture taking so the blurry deer are to be expected. But I thought the orb-spore thingie was kinda cool.

Okay NO laughing.

Never mind, go ahead, lololol.

The deer made me nervous! I know, you can barely see them.)

Sure, I'll go with that.

I had nothing better to do so I thought what the hell.

Why not pretend to take a blurry pic, stick a blob of
some sort in there and pretend it's a UFO!

Then, I'll go to - hmm, where could I go - Oh, I know! I'll go to
The Ledge and try to pawn it off there! Oh what a great plan!

Sure. I'll go with that!
