 UFO's (unidentified flashing objects) Strobe light on a tower at night. 15 second time exposure from about a mile away, using a Celestron 500mm f8 mirror lens. The focus moved while I was moving the camera to make the trails, so the strobe is a trail of small rings. It was hard to aim, as I was hand holding, and you can't see what is going on with the mirror up. I messed with the colors and contrast to get the blue background.
The white strobes on towers flash 60 times per sec. You can actually see the individual flashes if you shake your head rapidly while looking at the strobe from a distance.

Looks a lot like what happens when Tinkerbelle waves her wand. The bright spots form a sparkling necklace shape. Fun image.
