Water or dust droplet on your lense.

FWIW send it off to Art Bell, Im sure he can spin some conspiracy theory around it and who knows, maybe someone will see Jesus in it and start sending you prayer cards.

The flash wouldn't be able to illuminate it so much if it were on my lense. But like I said before, I still think it's a reflection from a piece of dust and my flash.

OMG, the Blair Witch looks like a coked out alien prostitute!
 
Notice that in the pic, top right corner, there's another really really faint "orb". It's just light bending on a water droplet.
 
Did you get these developed somewhere? Then scanned into your computer? If so, i am sure the schmuck who did that, got some stopbath on it or d19. that could cause a magenta red/blue dot to appear. Otherwise. . .

It may some water on the camera, or glue seperation at that angle. Could be a number of things really.

It's from a digital camera so there wasn't any schmuck to fudge it up. I know that it's not anything on my lense because none of my other pictures have it. I still insist that it's the reflection of my flash off a piece of dust. 🙂
