Light over Randsburg, CA

The report, as filed

I’m an amateur photographer, and today, my wife and I visited Randsburg, California, specifically to take pictures of that old mining town. I took a bunch; afterward, I returned to my home in Lancaster, California and downloaded them from my cameras. After the download was completed, I reviewed each picture for clarity, etc. When I came to this one, it showed a “teardrop” type light in the upper portion of the photograph with a large halo surrounding it. I didn’t notice the halo at first, I just wondered why the light was in that picture. At first, I didn’t think to much about, but as I reviewed them a second time, I began to wonder more about that light. Initially, I thought it reflected of something, so I enlarged the picture and the halo became more evident. I checked the area all around it, regular and enlarged, and I couldn’t see anything that would cause that light to be in the picture. This may not be nothing at all, but it doesn’t show up in any of my other pictures. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time, but I thought maybe I should let someone know about it. I went online and asked where to submit a report for strange sightings and saw your site. Maybe you would be interesting in looking at the picture, I don’t know. If you are interested, I have the pictures and will be glad to send you a copy. Thank you.
