No dude - it's floccinaucinihilipilification.
The lights dude - the lights. |

First a little troubleshooting....
Does it happen with other lenses?
Can you try this with a different camera?
Those would narrow the problem down.
I don't suspect sensor dust. Dust usually shows up as dark spots, not bright ones.

| Looks more like a reflection to me than anything, you weren't shooting through a window or some other glass were you? |

| Do you have a UV filter attached to that lens? |

| Looks like reflections from lights to the sides. This happens easier with cheaper zooms. Can also happen if you have a UV filter on. I had it happen on some moon photos I took, removed the filter and good to go. If it's side light a hood can help too. |

| If the images of the lights are positioned opposite the sources in the frame (if the source is at lower left, the image of it winds up at upper left in roughly the same position), what you have are ghost images. This seems *really* bad, and I have not had this issue with my 70-200/2.8 IS. Like others, even though you state "no filters" are you sure there wasn't a UV filter on the front of the lens? UV filters are notorious for this (and other) negative effects on image quality. |

| Look at the bright side, now you can enter shots with special effects in basic editing! and no one can do a thing!!! |

Looks like filter reflection to me. Did you have a filter on the lens?
