There are general geometric relations between a light source and
a flare it might cause in an optical system.  If you have other
pictures with th orb in different locations they might prove that
the orb is not a flare. For example, if you have another photo in
which the sun (?) or light source is to the left and the orb is
also left of center (the photo you showed has it right of
center), this might be evidence against a flare. If you have
several photos with the orb in different locations you might post
same to help in the "flare analysis"..... which is being treated
as "independent" of your testimony.
