As reported

Circle over Huntington Station, NY

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was standing in the field facing due East. I was just trying to take a pic of the cloud structures..The sun was setting behind me where there is a wooded area. Again, I did not notice this "orb" when taking the picture. I reviewed it later. And saw that this could not have been a planet, and a moon or something celestial. I also check my camera lens to see if there was an aberration on the lens, and there was not a sign of smudges or dust specs etc. This circle in the pic is perfectly round. I am not sure what my camera captured, but this was not in my view at time of photograph. This was taken by an iphone SE. 12MP 4032x3024 KB resolution.
