I would say it is the reflection of a dashboard mounted speedometer reflecting on the windscreen of the vehicle they are traveling, as the front passenger seat in the UK is on the left and both shots being taken to the right would pick up dashboard lights.

Hmmm... it looks suspiciously like the reflection from a dial on the dashboard, in particular a car with the dials in the centre for example a new mini? Notice the illumination from the rim inwards and then the orange dot in the centre which is common at the base of the needle as the light travels up the needle from the bottom in most new cars. I may be wrong...

The only thing I wonder is...if the speedometer is reflecting, wouldn't there be other reflections as well? From the stereo, or other gages? Perhaps not..I have no clue what type of vehicle she's driving.Michelle

Sorry guys I have to disagree with all of you... Although I dont think this is an actual UFO I also dont think its a reflected dial from a car dash either, its not transparent, it wouldn't line up that way and there are no other dash reflections.
I Also have a new mini cooper and the dial doesn't look like that, so no case closed in my opinion, in fact the theory this is a cars dash reflection is even more hard to swallow than a UFO, just look at the picture again and tell me this is a car's dashboard. As stated before the shades of the UFO are the same in both pictures... why is it ok for this to happen on a cars dash but not a UFO... the answer I think is photoshop cut and paste.
The other thing is, and I'm a total moron when it comes to artistic things such as angles and reflections...but if this picture was taken out of the windshield, is that angle of reflection accurate to a gage on a dashboard?

While it does certainly look like a mini speedo (yep - another ATS mini owner here - we should get a gallery going on BTS) I can't see how it would reflect onto the windscreen based on the positioning of the speedo on a mini - or any other car to be honest. They are near enough vertical.
