Witness Testimony

"I took a couple of pictures of the supermoon on, both, dec. 31, 2017 and jan 1, 2018 around the same time, 5 or 6 in the evening. i took the pictures with my cell phone (android- samsung note 4). when i got home and looked at the pictures, i found that there was a white orb surrounded by a purple aura, that i didn't notice when i took the picture. i took the picture quickly, because i was on my way home when i saw the moon, and asked my husband to pull over so that i could take the pictures. this happened 2 days in a row. the first day (12/31/17) there were no clouds. the second day (1/1/18) there were some clouds. once i finally took the pictures off the camera and loaded them on my laptop to take a closer look, i noticed the orbs, which were in a different position each time i took the picture. do you think that this was my phone creating the orb, or do you think that these orbs were there and surrounding the moon? please let me know what you think."
