We show that the rate of charged-current muon-neutrino events with a hard internal bremsstrahlung photon is consistent with the excess electron-neutrino candidate events reported by the MiniBoone and LSND (decay in flight) experiments. Hard photons radiated by the muon leg in charged-current neutrino interactions (neutrino-Nucleon->muon+gamma+nucleon) are a significant source of background that should be considered by current and future muon-neutrino to electron-neutrino neutrino oscillations appearance experiments (e.g. LSND, MiniBoone, SuperK, MINOS, T2K and NOVA).
