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”.

Duh. Helen Keller could see this is lens flare.
Reminds me of the lightning “sprites” filmed in the upper atmosphere above thunderstorms.
No need to worry!
These aliens are obviously just dropping in for a friendly drink!
They probably just mistook the ethanol plant for a pub!
Ooh oh….looks like God is using thumb tacks instead of duct tape to hold up the sky thing. Maybe the sky IS falling…
Yes! Aliens traveled thousand of light years just to watch us make fuel that is more expansive and worse for the environment than the gas we use now.
You know what they’re doin’ up there? Huffin’ off a bongs and saying “Hu,hu, hu. Those monkeys are stupid.”
#13; right. And if you look at the original ethanol plant image, you see just as many faint UFOs as there are lights in the plant, organized in neat rows, just like the lights.
No Photoshop needed.
Nor does the original story refer to them as “objects.”
Actually: IFOs.
It’s the Rapture! Crap! I’m still here with
you atheists!
On a more serious note…. Lens flare. If you
follow the objects ‘spikes’ down , the converge
on the brightest light source near the middle-bottom.
I actually ran into this “phenomenon” a few months back while taking some night shots in Chicago, over the Chicago River. I’ve got one of the photos online on my Flickr page. You can see the “object” in the sky just to the right at the top of the building in the center of the photo.
I thought it strange at the time, but now that I’m seeing almost the exact same thing other places that I got on some of my shots, I’m wondering if it has something to do with the camera or the lens used. Has anyone out there been able to check and see what kind of camera and lens that were used on these shots? I had just bought a new Nikon D3000 and was using the stock 18-55mm lens. Looking at the image in Photoshop, running a line down and looking at the angle of the “object” it does look like it’s just a lens flare, but it sure does make for some strange stuff. Never had that happen with any other cameras I’ve used int he past. Just kinda funky.

It’s a space dock from Star Trek TNG. Seriously, exactly the same!
Looks a bit like this new Hubble object traveling 11k MPH. http://gizmodo.com/5462539/hubble-detects-mysterious-spaceship+shaped-object-traveling-at-11000mph
Why this shape all of the sudden? Why now?
