The Alamo - night photos and reports of small light anomalies

Visitors and night photographers at the Alamo have on multiple occasions reported and published images showing small orbs, streaks, or unexplained light anomalies around the mission and its plaza. These observations have been covered in local news stories and incorporated into ghost-tour narratives about the site. Historians and technical reviewers note that long exposures, lens flares, insects, and city lighting are common alternative explanations and that the interpretations are debated.
