I have no idea what it is, but I don't think it's debris.
Reminds me of something I've seen a while ago. I didn't take any pictures unfortunately.

Why do you think it's not debris/dirt on the sensor?

Do you have experience using and maintaining digital gear, or? Not trying to be snippy but I am just wondering how you came up with your opinion.

IMPO, It's dirt...Or dead pixels. Could even be a scratch on the sensor itself. I do a lot of photography and I know a lot about cameras. I have three Nikon DSLR's, I know how to maintain/clean them, etc. and I know when something isn't right.

Sorry but this is not a UFO/sky being/demon/ethereal object...

It's a camera artifact that appears to be on your lens. You can see multiple artifacts if you look closely. As the camera resolution increases you will see things that you don't catch with the human eye, trust me. This is not a UFO but most probably..... A pubic hair.

Your rationale for the "anomaly" made me LOL. Thanks for the laugh...

Pubes. Eww. Wonder where THAT camera has been?
