   It could just be the sun reflecting of a surface like aluminum flashing at the right angle.

   A star reflection during the day seems a little...how u say...wacky?

   Throwed light rays? Did a fifth-grader write up that blurb?

   Apparently, this isn't a physical artefact on the ground at all - it's where a small hole has been torn in the photographic negative. The star of light you can see is the scanner bulb shining through the hole onto the sensor.

   Here's another one: http://trendbeheer.com/2006/09/16/interdimensional-bling-portal-in-dro nten/

   Both in the Netherlands (Purmerend, Dronten) and yes it an artefact on the ground: a roof reflecting the light of the sun.

   Explanation (in dutch, with pictures) - someone went to check the exact location: http://www.hippopotame.nl/index.asp?id=800
