It's monsoon season in AZ. As a result, we get dramatic clouds (and dramatic storms). Today, I decided to add some clouds to my collection, and went out and shot some skies. This one has me scratching my head. Sure, stars belong in the sky, but not in a cloud. A bird? A plane? A gap in the clouds? It's not on the lens or on the sensor. It only appeared on one of 50 photos. It seems like a perfect five-pointed star. I have no idea what it is - any ideas?

My thought, too. That's what it looks like to me on the double download.

I had a Lexus with a front bumper camera that was great when parking. One day, I put the car in gear and this GIGANTIC FLY appears on the screen. It was a small fly squished on the lens.

Not many people know this, but stars are actually made from using cookie-cutters on clouds.
Typically the clouds are self-repairing. Some just take a little longer.
