UFOs (UAPs): Explanations?

Clearly, Magical Realist's most recent "spaceship" is simple lens flare.

With his and river's denials, we see the psychology of the UFO True Believer laid bare.

These people have no interest in real explanations.

Good work, by the way, sweetpea.

 

Magical Realist:

Refer to sweetpea's posts, above.

In a picture viewer run p1 to p8 to see the cars on motor way follow the curved road.
The 'ufo' copies this curve. Why?

Notice (picture p7) the flare of light behind the man's left arm. It flares when the 'ufo' is also at it brightest. Why?

In picture c5 the flare shows in the close-up screen.
Look at picture c5 and see a 'beam' from road to to 'ufo'. Why is that there?

See picture 'Light A' to see path of beam goes from middle of flare-up behind man's arm to 'ufo'.

Please explain these features of the video, to the best of your ability. You have not made any attempt so far. You can, of course, refer to any independent expert analysis to which you have access, if necessary.

Please explain this point in detail.

Explain why you think this, especially given that not all vehicles (and their lights) are identical.

Please outline the procedure you have used to confirm that it only happens once (and not several times, but more dimly in other cases).

Please detail the further analysis you have done personally, and link to any independent analysis to which you have access.

Thankyou.

 

The total duration of the video footage is less than 10 seconds, which doesn't give us much time to observe cars on the road and the light they produce.

Do you have a longer clip, Magical Realist, that runs for at least several minutes? This would enable us to definitively rule out lens flare from car headlights.

When a photo camera is pointed at a bright light source and the shutter button is pressed, there is always a possibility that light entering the camera will cause internal reflections. If this happens, bright spots or complex light patterns may show up in the picture. Cameras with a large number of image-forming elements - for example cameras fitted with a zoom or UV-filter - tend to exhibit lens flares more rapidly, as they contain multiple surfaces at which unwanted internal scattering occurs.​

When a bright light source is shining on the lens but is not in its field of view, a lens flare will appear as an area of reduced contrast or as a haze that washes out part of the image. This effect is thought to be responsible for a number of so-called "ghost" or "spirit pictures". When the light is very close to, or on the edge of the field of view, the flare will look more like a beam of light oriented in the direction of the light source that caused the reflection. ​

When the light source itself is in the field of view of the camera, lens flares can take the shape of an arc with a sunburst pattern, a ring, a three-dimensional looking spindle, an oval blob, or a flat polygonal spot. Often multiple lens flares appear aligned in a row across the image. Their shape and size depend on the curvature of the lenses, the nature of the light source (a setting Sun for example that is partly obscured by the horizon, can produce a secondary image in the shape of a half-disc) and the type of aperture that is used (for example, if the camera has a six-bladed iris shutter, the flare may display a hexagonal pattern).​

Lens flares can make very convincing UFOs. Fortunately, they are easy to identify as both the light source and its reflected image are usually located on a line that crosses the centre of the photograph and at equal distances from that centre (how lens flares can be identified is illustrated in some of our case examples).​

A somewhat different type of aberration may occur when zooming in on a bright point source. Especially the automatic focus system of early generation camcorders had serious problems with focusing on small lights, transforming stars, planets and distant aircraft lights beyond recognition into big diamond-shaped objects (in the case of a four-bladed iris aperture), or large semi-transparent discs with circle-shaped indentations at the periphery (looking somewhat like biscuits out of which someone has taken one or more bites). The luminous discs are caused by a ring-shaped element inside the zoom lens barrel. The circular indentations by rounded bulges at the inner edge of the ring.

Note the key giveaway, which I have highlighted in orange. The video in question shows this feature and some of the others that I have highlighted in bold text.

Now, in light of the above, Magical Realist, are you willing to admit that his UFO is most likely lens flare? Or will you continue to deny?
