If this is already posted somewhere then disregard it..I spotted it this morning and thought it interesting enough to post..if anyone else has anything on it..please holler The man and his family were touring a Mayan pyramid and took several photos..this is the only one that came out with the mystery light beam and they saw nothing like it in person..only on film. Pretty cool looking. news.yahoo.com/mayan-light-beam-photo-message-gods-iphone-glitch-145401585.html

Wow! Jo, I put a beam going up out of the Dome of the Rock awhile back. Is this really happening or maybe a copy cat here. Just a thought.
Thanks for posting.

That beam was out of a pyramid not the dome of the rock, that was ufos.

Here is the technical explanation the article gave for how the beam occurred... He says the "light beam" in the Mayan temple photo is a classic case of such an artifact — a distortion in an image that arises from the way cameras bounce around incoming light.
It is no mere coincidence, Hill said, that "of the three images, the 'light beam' only occurs in the image with a lightning bolt in the background. The intensity of the lightning flash likely caused the camera's CCD sensor to behave in an unusual way, either causing an entire column of pixels to offset their values or causing an internal reflection [off the] camera lens that was recorded by the sensor." In either case, extra brightness would have been added to the pixels in that column in addition to the light hitting them directly from the scene. [7 Things that Cause UFO Sightings]
Evidence in favor of this explanation is the fact that the beam, when isolated in Photoshop or other image analysis software, runs perfectly vertical in the image. "That's a little suspicious since it's very unlikely that the gentleman who took this picture would have his handheld iPhone camera positioned exactly parallel to the 'light beam' down to the pixel level," Hill told Life's Little Mysteries.
It's more likely that the "light beam" corresponds to a set of columns of pixels in the camera sensor that are electronically connected to each other, but not to other columns in the sensor, and that this set of connected pixels became oversaturated in the manner described above. news.yahoo.com/mayan-light-beam-photo-message-gods-iphone-glitch-145401585.htmlIf that is true wouldn't the beam have also extended down to the bottom of the photo? And why does it get darker as it goes up higher into the clouds? I'm not saying it isn't the correct explanation but I'm not exactly an expert with cameras either so I have lots of questions.

Don't know why it didn't work...it was the same link that Jo had posted in the first post. I fixed it now.
