The lense effects hypothesis makes the most sense. That is what you would expect when taking shots of the sun or moon. Also, the witnesses didn't
see anything unusual, it only showed up on film. Part of the reason it looks so peculiar is that you have fewer lense effects than usual. I've seen
many photos with a string of lense effects in a straight line coming from the Sun. This only has the one dot, so its less obvious that its a lense
effect precisely because its a minimal lense effect. However, it is precisely the expected location for a single-dot lense effect. It is directly
opposite the Sun, where the Sun would be if you rotated the photograph 180 degrees around the center of the photograph. This is the case for both
photographs where the effect appears. The apparent motion of the effect is caused by the Sun being in a different area of the photograph. The effect
moves toward the Sun as the Sun moves toward the center of the photograph. Close examination of the first photograph, which supposedly didn't
capture the 'object', will reveal a small red tinge in the expected area as well, although much less noticeable (You will need to zoom in to about
400% magnification in Adobe Photoshop Elements and compare the area directly opposite the Sun with the other photographs to see it well.)
I believe in UFO's, but I don't believe this is one of them.
