Neddy Flanders of Australia first documented these same objects in his you tube vids last year. The Simpsons' next door neighbor? Shills in full effect...I won't take time to argue Flanders' intent OR data, just stay with the object in question and let's see where that goes. |

Any scientific contribution or sound knowledge about it, would be highly appreciated. pstrusi |

To all the naysayers: please expound on how this video didn't adequately address the lens flare possibility?

It IS a lens flare regardless of their excuses to the contrary. It appears in front of the clouds when the sun is unobscured and it always appears in a straight line with the other elements of the flare which in turn point back to the sun. "Moving with the ecliptic" and "intensity doesn't decrease as the light source moves" is all bullshit which has nothing to do with it being or not being a lens flare. ![]() |

Why would someone waste time on one shitty web cam next to a hole spewing out dust and sulphur all day long pointed straight at the sun. He'll see an apparition of Mother Mary on his toast tomorrow morning. |

Scepticism/naysaying without proper review leaves a lot to be desired. Quoting: UseLessRepEATER I am not going to waste an hour watching a video when I already know the answer. It is a lens flare. That is confirmed by its nature. I don't care what some idiot says. There are hours upon hours worth of videos on youtube stating that CW Leonis in google sky is "nibiru" or "planet X." Do I need to watch all those videos before forming my own conclusion? No. I can think for myself and do my own proper critical analysis, thank you. If you think there is a compelling reason to think otherwise, state it. Handwaving to a video is not thinking for yourself. Last Edited by Astromut on 02/27/2013 02:08 AM ![]() |
