Red Reflections in a UFO Photo

Summary

In this case, a witness submitted a photo showing red spots. After detailed analysis, it was found that these red points were actually reflections of streetlights inside the camera lens. If each streetlight is connected to its corresponding red spot, the three lines intersect at a central point, which turns out to be the "mirror point" of the phenomenon. This point is exactly at the center of the photo, matching the focal point of the lens. Moreover, the intensity of each red spot varies according to the distance of the streetlights in the image, affecting their brightness. Although this type of optical phenomenon is quite common, this photo is considered a textbook example, likely because the three streetlights were clustered around the optical center of the lens.
