Years Later, Still..What Is It?

[TJE]

Ok folks, this wasn't found in the ground..but in the air! (afterward upon viewing on pc). Ten years at least or more since (guessing), I took this pic of a plane descending from west to east to Toronto Pearsons Airport ('very' educated guess)...from atop Stone Quarry. All I seen was...."the sun and the plane"!!....this pic is what I got. Any knowledgeable "Star Hunters" on TN here care to help?...

At first glance I was thinking... ?
Then I noticed "rays" in front of it...
Very unusual.
I have never seen anything like it.

Im guessing an Atomic bomb was set off on the sun..just a guess

Well a smartphone lens has at least one lens glass and one protection glass. Makes two of them, enough for the brighter reflexion to partially cover the other one.

We also may be seeing some diffusion if a fingerprint or dust mote was on the lens.

Flare will come in from the side - that's why they put long sun-hoods on lenses.
