This recent Reddit post features the usual "blurry light in the sky" trope, but with a very oddly shaped bokeh:
(Edit: adding detail, though I'm not particularly interested in this as a UFO sighting, rather just the optics of the bokeh):

In the comments, someone describes their friend getting a similar picture, of what turned out to be an ordinary airplane.
Does anyone know how a bokeh like this occurs? There's scant detail about the cameras used, except that the first is "100x zoom" and "a video camera" (which shoots .heic files, perhaps a Sumsung S20?), the second was just a phone "with nice zoom/night settings".

For some reason it won't allow me to post all the pics here but here's a link

I saw this in the sky above a tree line at my house, north west England.
Was completely stationary and couldn't take video unfortunately as im using my phone camera for photos and the video doesn't zoom as far so it just looks like a star
What you're currently looking at is at 100x Zoom.
