Milk Processing Plant in the next town.
I am not sure what the guiding light is. It is in a number of shots I took over a 10 minute span where it moved from left to right over the shoot, so I conclude that it is a star.. It appears more prominent on the shorter exposure..

If this was a Members Challenge, I would clone out the distracting blown lights in the foreground, but as this is basic editing.........

I can't figure out what that is in the sky - must be the moon, a plane, or a star, but it doesn't look like any of those to me. Good sky otherwise - love the rich blue as well as the placement of the tower in the frame with the smoke to the left. The light in the lower right is pretty distracting.

There's a definite UFO in this shot! Have the aliens landed near you! Neat composition, perhaps a bit fuzzy on the focus, overall a fair shot.

The factory appears to be slightly out of focus. Did you use a shutter release or a timer release?
