What are they?

[Moontanman]

Check out what is being touted as a mysterious phenomena! No ornithologist would know what these are!

I'm pretty confident ornithologists will disagree that those are birds. And entomology professors from two major universities were stumped as to what these creatures are. If they were birds I think they would have figured that out.

Pareidolian entities.

[Phi for All]

Unidentifowls.

The unusual lighting conditions does make them look pretty spooky. (But they are obviously porgs.)

[StringJunky]

A camera lens is made of several lenses and those objects could just be a single light artifact that has been distorted into a meaningful shape and then repeatedly reflected between the lens surfaces.and then onto the  sensor. The coating on the glass usually eliminates this but under certain conditions it can still happen. You most often see this phenomenon, in some pictures or videos, in the shape of repeated hexagons when the sun is in or near view, which is actually the shape of the camera's aperture. It's a sign that the coating has failed under these conditions or the lenses are dirty or moisture has condensed on them.

The guy who posted this to a UFO news group was so sure everyone here at SFN would see these smudges as inexplicable. Thanks guys...

A faster shutter speed on that camera would give us a better picture and allow us to discern whether they are angels or gulls. I am not sure any conclusion can be made as to whether these entities are unidentified, a new species of bird, aliens or gulls....  unless, you know, you actually use a tiny part of your brain....  then you can clearly deduce that they are birds of some kind.

I am quite sure this is an intentional hoax so better pictures are unlikely.

I know these, i’ve seen them lots of times, they’re a special kind of bird called:

”Shoot at higher ISO with a faster shutter speed”

lol  -  we don't really need them moontan - I was attempting that humour thing that people go on about.

The first 3 replies to your OP made me laugh a lot.
