Is it me or does this look vaguely familiar?
I’ll leave it to the photography experts here at DU. I’ll just label it “swamp gas”.

Cripes! The aliens are parachuting in all over the place! Run for your lives!
Can’t we leave this crap to the AM Coast to Coast show?
Someone sneezed on the lens. It’s a drop of water.
Idiot! That “Hovering Object” is a CLASSIC LENS REFLECTION.
Lordy. How many times in 2010 will that exact same internal distorted reflection show up as a THING?
Let’s see: Population of Earth: c. 7 Billion. Divide by two (women don’t harbor conspiratorial tendencies as much as men), so the answer is c. 3.5 Billion.
Idiots.
Looks like a lens flare to me.
Why don’t some of you photographers out there see if you can recreate this lens-flare phenomenon?
Yep… STILL looks like a lens flare to me.
#6, just go get me some focusing fluid!
Here’s another one equally “mysterious.”
Grab your pillow and flash camera. Set the camera to shoot a flash picture but dial in a two-stop exposure reduction.
Turn out the lights and pound the pillow exactly 17 times as you stand in the corner of the room.
Immediately shoot a flash picture.
Those blobs are space aliens, responding to the pillow drum-beat.
I for one welcome our new giant flying jellyfish masters.
#8. More likely it was ‘shopped from the other photo.
A NASA weather balloon?
Well at least this photo verifies the lensflare thing for the aurora shot, you could probably map those ethanol angel sea monkey lens flares to the lights on the plant itself with not much difficulty
Easy to confirm lens flare. Draw line through ‘axis’ and follow it down. It should be pointing directly to one of those bright (probrably the brightest) light sources in the foreground.
hmmm. looks a lot like a lens flare. Watch Star Trek and you’ll see lens flare galore.
What’s the big deal? It’s obviously the Justice League’s satellite space station, the Watchtower.
Which way is the wind blowing in that first photo?
Yep, it’s the Spacedock from Star Trek: http://bit.ly/9VtHqb
Weren’t these the little things flying around in the 3D Avatar movie????
Yeah, an ethanol plant, that’s a pretty good place for smoke.
I saw somewhere that said it was in the aurora borealis. I guess they can’t even get that right.
I assume that It is not a lens flare because multiple individuals in multiple (different) locations took pictures of the same object in the sky at around the same time:
Person 1
Person 2
Headline: The parachute appears in the same spot in the sky on all the pictures.
I reckon it is a meteor that trailed in – in the upper atmosphere – and when heated up due to friction, it blew up. Just a small meteor,nothing like Leonid, which managed to keep intact for a much longer period. Going from space towards our atmosphere: trailing tail.. explosion, debris and with northern lights it is highlighted. Nonetheless, I shall try and re-create the same effect if it is just a lens flair; I invite others to to do the same.
