I dont think it’s a reflection of something on the ground or in the sky. Might it be that the hard copy photo was scanned in or even photographed by a digital camera with a flash?

Some of the weird errors we find, like the big bug, are probably at the digitization level, not the initial capture.

It’s the government. They’ve blocked it out to hide something.

Just a nitpick - “lens flare” is the name for internal reflection in the camera lens, caused by sunlight striking it at an angle. These glares are reflections from external objects and so they are not “lens flares” at all

The size of a lens flare has more to do with the brightness of the light producing it than the size of the object. Still, it looks like your just getting a nice reflection of the sun (fairly bright) off a lake (fairly big)

It looks more like a problem with the image then a flare from an shinny reflection.

If that image had been taken a few minutes later, you’d be seeing a whole lot of popcorn coming out of a house.

If you zoom in enough on Local Live, just before the photoshopped bit disappears you can see the lake. (ssems to be from the terraserver map)
