UPDATE: This discussion is about "two sun" videos made with two pairs of sunglasses. For a discussion of the Florida video, see:

Two videos from josefstuchlik1 on two consecutive days




The key to what is going on here is in the description of the first video:

I made this video with 2 sunglasses, as my camera is just basic. let me know what you think about this. Thanks

What's interesting here is that you get an obvious lens flare that moves as the camera moves, but you also get a second image of the sun that seems to stay in the same position relative to the sun.

What's happening is that the sun is reflecting off the front of the rear sunglasses, and then off the back of the front sunglasses, which then gives you this second image of the sun at a fixed offset from the real sun. It's a little bit like a periscope. Here's a simple representation:



The image does not move because, unlike the camera lens, the sunglass do not bend the light, so the angles remain consistent. So it stays in the same position relative to the true image.

Wow, you determined it is a fake just by looking at it? How about the hundreds of pictures coming in from all over the southern hemisphere in the last 2 months alone. Google the picture of a supposed UFO taken in Malaysia. The second planet in view isn't even properly distanced to be a reflection or camera flare or whatever other misinformation you are spreading. When you don't know, just be a man and admit it. Something's going on that folks can't explain. And sorry, but neither can you. Your "scientific" debunking is a joke. Stop supporting the man. Traitor to the people.

Yes, he did. Which should give you an indication how easy it is to figure out what is causing it.

Are you one of those who believe objects in the southern hemisphere sky can only by seen by people in the southern hemisphere?

P.S. I saw another one of these second sun videos the other day. But this time the guy rotated the camera as he recorded. Guess what? The "second sun" rotated along with the camera. What does that tell you?
