Long Description of Sighting Report

I opened my living room blinds to take some snapshots of the recent snow to forward to my two sisters, one lives in Georgia, the Other in Arizona and there was a quick flicker or flash and I took the shot. I took other snapshots within minutes, one of a squirrel eating from my bird suet cage and another in the same direction of the first which was 1 minute, 6 seconds later, I didn't have a flash on and the sun does not rise in that location so I know it was not that. I downloaded the camera onto the computer and there was the first picture/image showing a glow/flash that illuminated the area but the strange part was the lights/headlights above the glow. You could see New Jersey in the distance and the street lights still on by the John Fitch Way, a major highway in that state. The glow had what looked like a tunnel with orbs according to my wife who saw the images. My one sister said it could have been the rising sun but the next day I took several snapshots of that and the sun rises in a different direction in New Jersey. I am most certain I didn't have the flash on because the second image was clear and visible. The lights above this glow was about 6-8 lights and it was in the sky and could not have been from the New Jersey highway. My neighbors fence across the canal was visible and the glow/light was behind that and trees were visible. If this was an error on part of my camera, I could live with that but I just don't know. I am retired and never had submitted anything to anyone and the only ones that I told or sent images to were my sisters and one to your organization that same day.
