Hello, I wasn't sure where to go with this photo, so I'll run it past you folks. This is not a sighting so much... it's more of an anomaly in a photograph I took. I am not a photography expert so I'm interested in your comments. I took this photo in snapchat yesterday afternoon, Thursday May 6, 2021, at 4:37 pm CST, near Appleton, Wisconsin USA, with an LG G7 thinQ smartphone. The photo was not taken through glass--I was outside. The photo looks west. The temperature was about 55 degF and it was not raining. I am posting a cropped portion of the photo. I can't identify the light blue, semi-transparent oval with the two rows of white dots. I am not claiming this to be a craft. It could be a seed or fuzz floating off a nearby tree. It could be a bug of some sort in the air. The sun was shining through the clouds above the image and this could be some sort of lens effect (?), but that doesn't explain the rows of dots. It almost looks like an image of some sort of mounted circuit (like the dots are solder pins) from inside the phone's camera, although the oval shape is wrong. I am curious to hear your discussion. Thank you.

Ha! Never mind... I was able to recreate the effect a week later by pointing the camera west below a bright sun. Some sort of refraction within the lens--or something. Not E.T., no phone home. Carry on.

At least you investigated it and realized it was just an effect. I hate these sites where you post something like that and immediately get a bunch of "That's amazing!" "I saw that exact same thing a month ago and no one believed me!" "Awesome! Keep up the good work!" When, in fact, it's obviously an effect. That kind of thing is just embarrassing and makes me feel stupid for even getting involved in the UFO phenom. But, if I see anymore photos like this, I can now definitely state it to be nothing more than an effect. So, yes, keep up the good work of being objective and thinking critically.
