UFO, in the form of a large purple sphere, was filmed over the city of Nootdorp.

Eyewitness piest:

This is the glare from the lens. A very common effect.

Original news

UFO, een grote paarse bol

NOOTDORP, ZH — Ik zat mijn gemaakte foto’s van zon en wolken te bekijken en opeens zag dat een zeer grote paars kleur bol onder zon in de lucht is. Ik zou graag willen jullie naar kijken ! Foto is gemaakt in 2017 na de middag op Waterviolier straat.

* Het object werd opgemerkt bij het terugkijken van de foto’s.

Meest waarschijnlijke verklaring

Lens flare

Dit is een lensflare. Een zeer veel voorkomende effect. 

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Re-reflections in lens lenses from a strong light source

The lens consists of a set of lenses (in some lenses - of mirrors), designed for mutual compensation of aberrations and assembled into a single system.

From the contour light (bright light sources behind the subject or next to it), caught in the frame or located outside the frame, parasitic reflections from the internal elements of the lens are formed, called glare (or in slang "hares").

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

Based on the appearance and locations in the frame, this is really a glare from the Sun.
