Is it a bird? A plane? Or perhaps -- gasp -- a UFO? Those are the questions being asked about an iPhone picture taken at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park.

"This photo is extremely creepy," said Ryan Boone, who claims to have snapped the shot Tuesday before 10 p.m., while waiting in line to ride the Xcelerator rollercoaster.

The 31-year-old Beverly Hills resident sent the photo (original pic) to NBCLA. The photo, which Boone claims is not doctored, shows part of the coaster and looming above it, is a glowing, triangular object in the sky.

"At first I thought it had to be a glare, but there was nothing in the sky to glare off of," said Boone.

He laughed, "I've never been a believer in UFOs until I took this photo and saw it with my own eyes."

Perhaps only adding fodder to conspiracy theorists is that this isn't the first report of a UFO sighting over Knotts Berry Farm and Buena Park. That's if you believe the various websites that track these sorts of things.

As for Knotts Berry Farm, a spokesperson told NBCLA that no visitors had reported seeing anything suspicious to park workers on Tuesday night.

NBCLA sent the photo to the Federal Aviation Authority for review. A spokesperson said they will look into the matter.

This is retarded. If nobody can conclusively identify it, and it is flying, and an object, then by definition it is a UFO.

EDIT: Wait, no no no no no. Look at the spacecraft, then the lamp from that angle. They are identical. It is a reflection of the lamp in the camera lens.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

I agree, because he didn't see it before he took the pic because he was probably just getting a picture of the coaster.

Good Call Slos...I would have to agree, although, maybe it is just another IPhone problem that apple is not aware of...but yes, by definition...it is a UFO...whether or not it is extraterrestrial, well, that's for the government to decide.

I was thinking the same thing; it could be a lens flare from the lamp below.

It looks like its just a reflection from the lamp that the iPhone caught, If you look at the lamp and the supposive "UFO" they have the same exact shape and happen to be turned at the same angle... So its not a UFO this guy is just crazy who took it..

It's definitely a lens flare. They debunk orbs on Ghost Hunters all the time that are exactly like this. The light part of the triangle points to a foreground light source.
