Initial data
The mysterious photo was taken in Andenesme, Norway, by an eyewitness and an amateur photographer named Per-Arne Milkalsen. Looking through the photos he took of the northern lights, he noticed in one of the pictures a strange green glowing object in the shape of a jellyfish hovering over the landscape.
It really seemed to him like a lens flare or a trick of light, but then he decided that it was still a solid "floating" object in the sky. It was so strange that he posted the photo on the Internet, and then a flood of responses followed.
Many assumed that it was the northern lights reflecting from something like a satellite or a cloud, but it was also pointed out that such a reflection is unlikely to be green. The problem is still not completely solved, and Mikalsen himself says the following:
"I have never seen such an object before, and I can't wait to find an explanation for this phenomenon."
Hypotheses
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
The external appearance of the object is characteristic of a glare (re-reflection in the camera lenses) from some bright light source. This is clearly a fragment, and you need to find the full version of the photo to find out from what source this glare is.
