Uploader comment: It was raining when I took this photo. It is not a raindrop, as the orb is going up and not down and does not fit in with the landscape.
Nice bright orb! It's great when you find nice luminous ones like this.

No, the 'orb' is going down, not up - its a falling particulate. The apparent motion is a misinterpretation of the effect of the shutter and flash being out of sync.

you sure its not the moon? looks about the right size, but if the moon was not out that night then it IS something unusual.
