Default OMG ITS A UFO.... Oh wait its not.

Could it be a sun burst, with rays shooting off of it. Nope it sure isn't, but it is sure strange looking. Before I post what it is, I kind of want to see if any one can guess what it is. I really don't think any one can figure this one out.

Looks like you took a shot of a backlit fan to me or the end of a hair dryer taken in a dark room presuming the orange glow is the heat coil behind the grid...I know that you took this at home because you broke your butt on the last shot in the great outdoors!

I originally thought it was one of those heat fans that you see these days...but there's a section in the upper right where the spokes are fused together so...now I'm not too sure...

I don't no what it is but it reminds me of the timer on the LCD screen on a camera being shot at night.

I'd guess a backlit grill on a fan.

I thought that as well but think it might be too symetrical for gas.

Could it be a burner on a gas stove??? In any case, it's a very interesting shot!
Thanks for Sharing this
