On the evening of 11-13-2016, i went outside to the front of my house so i could take a few photos of the super moon. it was clear and the moon of course was bright. i was facing the east and towards the front of my house with the street behind me. i looked up at the moon and then i raised my iphone up to take pictures. i kept seeing an extra "spot" of something shiny whenever i looked through the lens, but took the photos anyway. i looked at each photo after taking them to see if they were good to keep or delete. at first, i thought something was wrong with the camera or maybe the lens had something on it, because these extra lights were in the photos with the moon. i went back inside to tell my husband that the moon looked great, but i kept seeing these extra spots that looked like orbs. i got a lens cleaning wipe and cleaned both sides of the phone even though i was only using the front facing lens. then i thought that maybe the streetlight was somehow interfering with the photos, even though it was behind me and not centered in front of my house but past it and my driveway. i began taking pictures a little before 7:00 pm and went in and out of the house to finish dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, etc. i took about 17 pictures with the first one time stamped at 6:57 pm and my last one at 9:16. i also went into my backyard on the stairs to the upper porch and had the back lights off so it would be darker. i took more photos facing east/southeast and the orb/sphere showed up again in the photos. for some reason, i couldn't see this thing with the naked eye, but it would appear in the photos. at one point, i was told it could be "lens flare" which doesn't mean anything to me. ☺️ i did notice the sphere would be in different places in photos taken seconds or a minute apart. there are a total of 17 photos with the orb appearing in 11 or 12 of them. some of the photos have what appears to be smudges of different colors or streaks for lack of a better description. i thought the blue sphere looked so cool, especially when it looked like it was a little planet orbiting the moon! i hope you can analyze the photos and let me know if it was something or just nothing. thanks!
