I took these pictures with my iPhone of the sunset on a recent trip, and a few of my pictures had this green dot. Others came out perfectly. Can anyone tell me what caused this or what I did wrong? The location of the dot varies. Thanks.
Anyone know what this green dot is from?

Lens flare. some people think its spirit orbs and such. Its and internal reflection of the lens elements. Also sometimes there can be very small debris in between the elements , and in older camera lenses , even fungus on/between the elements. On some old camera lens combos you can even count the aperature blades that give a hexagon or octagon shaped image.
You will see them more when there is a bright point light source. Some times the source is not necessarily in the image frame.
From the old Kung Fu intro where it was used on purpose.

Makes sense, thanks.

Its green probably do to chromatic aberration as well. As the light bends, the wavelengths focus at different points.

A new Area51 anti-gravity craft playing with you.
The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

LOL I'm sticking with Nessie blowing bubbles after 1,092 feet of Aircraft Carrier passed over her.

I know. I was trying to get the sunset, and where I could position myself was limited.
