In this case the light is passing across the edge of the vanes in the lens diaphragmthe process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced
The appearance of sunbursts is more technically described as “diffraction spikes,” and it’s caused by the bending (sometimes referred to as spreading) of light around an object like the edges of your camera’s aperture.
The short answer is "diffraction spikes."
There are also clear videos of "chemtrails" on his channel.I captured this object right after we did a calling during our LA UFO CHANNEL meet up. Our group gets into a semi-circle and concentrates on a spot in the sky....we don't say anything ...with just think and ask if we can see the beings in the sky. They show up usually very quickly most times. UFOs are not always flying saucers. I am seeing many kinds of life forms.
Scintillation doesn't involve just variation in brightness. It produces multiple images too.scintillation is caused by the passing of light through different layers of a turbulent atmosphere. Most scintillation effects are caused by anomalous atmospheric refraction caused by small-scale fluctuations in air density usually related to temperature gradients.
Bear with me, just to make sure I'm getting this, would it be fair to say that in a typical camera lens the wider the aperture diaphragm is open the the less likely there are to be diffraction spikes?
The short answer is "diffraction spikes."
A bit too short of an answer There's also bokeh, focus, atmospheric turbulence, and multiple reflections.
The sharpness is what I'm interested in. In the first example in particular, how does an out of focus object end up producing razor sharp edges in the recording?
here's his event page. I don't know if that's him with the camera in front. (a different day i assume)I suspect the John Graf video was taken with a camera with a small sensor and a lens that can be zoomed to a high magnification (anywhere from 20x to 60x) but with poor resolution. Something like the infamous P900.
like this?It looks like a mylar star-shaped balloon sparking in the sun
I suspect they are serious. John Graf is someone I met years ago in Los Angeles, at the "Consciousness Beyond Chemtrails" conference, and at a chemtrail march in Santa Monica and the Venice Boardwalk . He's corresponded with me a few times since, and seemed very serious that he thought chemtrails were real, and his photos showed undeniable evidence. So after 20 years of that then sadly the "balloons are UFOs" belief is not that large a leap.so this UFO group is just a satire site? what's happening?
yea but he posts (or someone is posting) very obvious balloon pics. I can see far away balloons that are hard to make out, but come on. Plus he has to be releasing the balloons himself (or a buddy) because no way there are "runaway" balloons everytime he goes to Hollydale Park.then sadly the "balloons are UFOs" belief is not that large a leap.
