There is too much glare to really see the Sun or what is crossing over it. But a bit of adjustment shows that it is covered by a thin cloud with a single thicker contrail which appears to be crossing it near the top.
Please note how a line drawn from the Sun to the reflection crosses the center line of the images. And, of course, you couldn't see it in the sky. Internal reflection.

For comparison ,here is a photo i took on my recent travels
A classic lens flare example ,because i did not see the extra planet with the naked eye when i took the photo. Sorry about the size ,scroll right to see the phantom menace

Did you type in "moon" in the search function of Stellarium?
I checked it again, and at that time of the morning, the moon was to the right of the sun slightly above it, like in the photo. Stellarium uses a panoramic type of view so the moon may seem further away from the sun than it is in your photo.
Go to that date & time and type moon in the search, it will pan over to it.

As I said. You cannot really see the Sun because of the glare.
Oh alright. It's Nibiru...again.
That planet that somehow can never be seen with the naked eye but only with cellphone cameras. That planet that always just happens to appear on a line between the Sun and the center of the image.
We're doomed.

His photo shows a contrail lost in the glare of the Sun. You don't really think the Sun is that large do you?

Tell me, how many times have you seen a full Moon near the Sun?
