What are the Halo reflections from this lens caused by ?

Looks more like the shine off the actual coax cable, which has a high glare protective coating.

That looks like sun reflection inside the lens. Does it happen on every shot or only when the sun is to your right?

Thanks for all of your help!! Its all very interesting information for a novice like me.
I did try a lens hood and that seemed to help.

I think using a lens hood is a great idea but I think everyone missed the true reason what is going on here. Didn't anyone watch "The Omen"??? This bird has been marked and will probably be snatched out of mid-air by a nearby cat shortly after the picture was taken.

It looks like you were shooting into the sun. If so a CPL might help. Shooting into the sun can create all kinds of problems

This is a problem that is not uncommon with the older Minolta lenses. They were susceptible to this problem when shooting into the general direction of the sun. Modern lens coatings are better at minimizing this problem.
The workaround is to just avoid these types of situations.
But the old MD lenses are fabulous lenses. They are manual focus. And the mechanics are a joy to work with. The manual focus is so smooth.
