From another article:

"Ross Davidson, development team leader at OrangeBus, thinks there might be a slightly more mundane explanation.

He told the Huffington Post UK: "Basically it's similar to the thing you get in all those 'UFO videos' you see these days from people with digital cameras - when they use digital zoom too much, you get 'artifacts' as the missing data is recreated using an algorithm which create regular shapes simply because of the nature of digital.

"As such a simple point of light becomes something like this.

"If he rotated the camera the shape would rotate with it...

"You can get similar things with still photos when you blow them up - the moon pic shows a 'triangle' because it's digital - made up of pixels.

"If you look at the dark lines in the pic they all align in the same way - it's just a shadow which pretty much aligns with the pixels and when compressed/zoomed looks perfectly triangular."

Personally, I'm not too sure about that. But if you look at the reflection in some of the blown up images, you can see regular pixilation there as well.

Well heck, that should be easy enough to prove or disprove, got to be several pictures of that area by different cameras/telescopes/satellites.

See if there's something weird in that area with those, problem solved.
