I used my Ipad to take some pics of the sun during the eclipse. We got 85% coverage.
Nothing came out in the actual sun, but look below the sun. I circled the relevant portion in my pictures.
UFO?
These small cameras are prone to reflections it seems.
So its probably a refelection of the image … which only shows up the brightest part… the sun.
The reason its not a circle may be because the moon has notched a bit out of it.
You would have needed brightness reduction , eg a filter, or a camera obscura box setup, to get it to photograph the sun directly. The CCD camera might have made the camera obscura image easier to see…
Yeah, a reflection of the eclipse on a section of receptors not overexposing the white light.
I’ve seen a lot of those since the eclipse.

Lens flare.
I made a 1-hr iPhone video of the eclipse, and the sun is complelty blown out the whole time, but there is a little crescent-shaped lens flare which rotates around the sun and shows the phases perfectly. It’s pretty neat.
Some people would claim that you photographed Planet X (aka Nibiru).
Did you upload it? I’d like to see it.
I’m still on the road, and won’t be back for a few days, but I will when I get home, and post back.
As a kid, my friend tried to photograph a partial eclipse and saw something similar. It must be internal reflection within the lens creating false image(s).
As mentioned above, it’s lens flare, but also bear in mind: it’s not a false image. It’s the actual eclipse. Intentionally chasing the lens flare was the goal of a fairly large group of us, in fact, given that it actually worked.
OK, here it is:
J. J., is that you?
That’s a really cool picture.
Here’s another short time-lapse video I made:
