These are the frames where the light is bigger. Here in my video I was using a very small led light, so the effect is not the same, but it could have been achieved with a bigger flashlight (seems I need to buy a new one). It started small and...

Jet engine, rocket engine, the sun

I have a question. Other than burning flares, what could cause this optical phenomenon in a military/official recordings UAP video context? Jet engines in the distance? Edit: Reflective balloons? Probably not because they’re cold objects. From...

Regarding the part where “UFO” comes closer, or becomes bigger, at the end of the video when the guys scream; that’s achievable (from a light inside the vehicle perspective) by simply bringing the flashlight closer to the window glass. @glennfish...

I think you give too much value to your 3d reconstruction video. What you see as 3d is an illusion, there is no real 3d data. There is an infinity of possible position in the 3d space for an object to project in the same position in the 2d...

If the light is so bright and at a distance outside the window- why don't we see any illumination of or reflection off the road? I don't see why the boy has to hop through the sunroof. why can't he just turn round and point the flashlight at the...

I would agree, up to a point. Being able to definitively prove something a hoax, and how it was done, is the gold standard. Just me, but I think the problem here is that it creates a swapping of the burden of proof: Someone makes an extraordinary...

As air passes over the lip of a non-enclosed stadium, you'd expect eddies. If unexpected non-player-induced perturbations to the flight path of the ball are to be codified into the rules, then every freak gust of wind would stop play.

For what it's worth, I go with "optical flare" and "burning flare", that tends to cover most cases and it's not too wordy and dodges some inevitable semantics. I've had the same problem confusing the two in conversations where both are involved...

But does that prove that the light cannot be reflected off glass?

Thinking about it more, you don't even need radiosity to vaguely realistically mimic the illumination. I presume he hadn't 3D modelled himself, and was just had a parameterised dodging layer above the layer containing his body based on the...

Yeah, same underlying camera artifact, different sensor/platform. The star shape itself doesn't tell you what's making the heat, that part's the same regardless of what's actually burning down there. Not familiar with the Chandelier video...

Sure, plain version: the "six-pointed star" isn't the shape of anything flying. It's made inside the camera itself. When a camera looks at a really intense point of light (or heat, for an IR sensor), the light bends slightly around anything...

Yeah, thanks, I figured it was a camera artifact because it's basically identical to the Chandelier Video, but I got a bit totally lost in the specific technical jargon. So basically it's just the same as the previous "Chandelier star UFO" video...
