"The whole sky was red" - Orb Appears by Moon, Followed by Flash of Light

• When: October 19th, 2016 at 4:10 AM
  
• Where: Sidney, Michigan
• What: Red light appears next to moon, followed by red flash of light; Warning - this could be a camera anomaly or lens reflection but witness insists it is not

A Michigan resident was gazing up at the moon and when they snapped a photo of it, a red ball of light appeared and then there was a bright red flash of light filling in the sky that followed. Although the event appears to have been witnessed through the phone, the witness does not think this was a lens reflection or camera anomoly. As always, you be the judge, here is the MUFON case (case 80327).

My dog was really sick about a month ago, and because of his medicine he needed to be let outside almost hourly. It was nearing 4 am when I heard him whining so I slipped on my shoes and hooked him up on the leash outside. While my dog sniffed around the yard, I noticed the moon was super bright so I opened up my snapchat app to take a picture to post on my public story. The second I took that picture, a huge red ball appeared in the sky and my dog turned around barking. By the time I looked up from my phone. The only thing I saw that wasn't on the screen was a red flash that lit up the sky. It didn't flash in a path like way like I've heard so many times with UFO sightings. There was a ball. Then the whole sky was red. It was so bright, and so unusual, I grabbed my dog and brought him inside before taking a look on my phone. I caught the ball of light right before it went away. Since this day last month, my dogs illness took a turn for the worst and unfortunately he was put down Monday. Ever since this one memory has been burned in my brain. I'm reaching out for help, I don't know what I saw. I have had family members calling me a liar, saying the ball was just my cameras flash but the flash wasn't even on and the bright red sky didn't happen until a split second after the picture was taken. Maybe there is some explanation. I am unsure. But it's left me confused and even scared. I am surrounded by farms and corn fields, stuff like this doesn't happen often.
