Mecca photograph with possible lens flare

A pilgrim noticed a reddish disc-like form with bright lights when reviewing photographs taken near the mosque. The object was not noticed directly during the outing. NUFORC examined the images and considered lens flare a possible explanation. The photographs therefore do not independently establish a large craft above the mosque. Source: National UFO Reporting Center, report 81640. This account is a report of claimed observations, not independent confirmation. Visual or radar observation without a narrative establishing beings, abduction, intentional contact, or physical effects.
