Relevant because WTF is this?

it's a reflection of the sun in the upper atmosphere. almost like a mirage. it's not very common but loads of video evidence exists.

from the YT comments

Doesn't look like that at all to me. But okay.

If there was a celestial object of that size anywhere near us, the Earth's orbit would have already been severely affected long before it was actually visible.

how can you tell its size without knowing the distance it is away from the camera?

The reverse is true, we'd see it long before it got close enough to affect our orbit.

Hmm... I suppose that's the case if it was a sun, but I was really considering a low albedo planet of some sort, like Nibiru is often claimed to be.

Either way, this video is not showing a physical object.

One would think. I wouldn't disagree with that assessment.

I think that video was edited to put it in there. Why has no info or context been provided?

I've edited a lot - two feature length films, various shorts, etc, etc...and this doesn't look edited...at all. Just saying.

Why has no info or context been provided?

No idea. It's the only video in that yt user's channel too.

I don't know what's going on, but it does look...strange/weird/anomalous/intriguing. Take your pick. ;)

Given the face nearest us is lit up, it must be on the other side of the solar system and not between us and the sun.

For it to be that far, and that large, puts it close in size to the sun.


The lack of light reflection on the water for such a bright object indicates fakery


The moon face doesn't quite match up with the suns location.

I see what you're saying, but it's not impossible for objects to reflect reflection - i.e. the light from the object in question doesn't necessarily have to be coming from the sun's direct light itself.

I wouldn't be too super sure about that because if you pay close attention to the waves themselves and how the sun's rays reflect off of those waves, the reflection itself is so extremely diffuse - and there are SOOO many waves - that it seems difficult for an object of even the size of the planet in question to create too much of a noticeable reflection on the water next to the sun's glaring reflection.

That assessment I don't quite know about, as it seems pretty normal and standard to me actually.

Valid observations though, sir. Thank you.

For it to be that far, and that large, puts it close in size to the sun.

uh. You know if there was another sun-sized object just chilling in our immediate solar system, it would completely alter the orbits of all the other planets, right.

Yep.

Lens flare. Or a mystery planet that only shows up for Nibirutards to film.

My only hope in all of this is that this comment of yours didn’t completely take up the use of your single functioning braincell.

Apparently, it did.

Are you saying your first comment was ironic?

His post was the definition of irony. But I'm among the Elinin/Nibirutards, and my humour is wasted.

We were all taught in school that Merkery...

Planets don't glow like stars. This is refraction, likely thank to chem spraying.

Not saying that chem spraying doesn't effect what's being seen, but it's been known for quite some time even in common MSM science (though the information is not widely promulgated) that some planets can generate their own heat source and energy...so some can in fact actually glow. Not saying that Mercury is one of those planets that can, but A) I'm also not saying it's impossible (for we know so little and are generally lied to about the tiny bit that is known), and B) even if Mercury can't in fact generate its own heat energy and glow, this image may not ultimately be of Mercury after all regardless.

Not to that degree. The luminescence you're speaking of is not visible through the the human eye. Big difference.

Stuff like this tends to be a date on this sub. Inconsequential fluff and filled, serving only as a distraction from the things that matter.

Ever bother asking yourself who's actually responsible for the wars and political manipulation that you likely think are the "real" things that matter?

I'll give you a hint: Not all those forces are exclusively Earth-based.

What you're thinking are "the things that matter" is little more than superficial icing layering the outermost level of a cake of deceit that the vast majority of humanity doesn't know even exists in the first place.

We've had this debate already. Aliems still be fake as fuck. A convenient cover story for the soulless assholes in control. The while reptilian thing used to be an accurate means of describing these psychopath fucks.

The word you were searching for is spelled: A.L.I.E.N

Aliem?

The word you were searching for is spelled: A.L.I.E.N

Nah, I still think you're incorrect. We're taking about proper fictional entities here. You can paint these with a much larger brush stroke.

Your stark ignorance doesn't make the truth any less the case. Your obstinate "nope...not listening" perspective doesn't keep what's really happening on and around this planet from happening any less real.

It's not obstinate. As has already been plainly and clearly stated, aliems don't exist. They are fictional beings. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And so far, nothing of substance has been provided.

The word you were searching for is spelled: A.L.I.E.N

lol. Okay. Here's an extremely relevant response for you.

You always seem to have those. Strange that it doesn't contain that extraordinary evidence we spoke of. You're selling this whole aliem bullshit a little too hard.

LOL

According to one of the users on /r/ufos the effect created is due to lens flair. The user linked this article to explain the effect.

Users over at /r/ufos seem to agree. Here is another comment supporting the lens flair idea:

This is the right answer. If you look at the 'planet' in the video, it is not perfectly round. The top part of the 'planet' is shaved off a tad, so it is less than a perfect sphere (like a gibbous moon). This is because it is a lens flare as the sun is just beginning to dip below the clouds on the horizon. The lens flare is an inverted image of the sun. So the flatter (less round) side of the 'planet' is on the top, while the cloud obstructed portion of the sun is on the bottom. Science!

It...totally doesn't look anywhere near like a lens flair to me. It looks like a round, well dileneated object - not anything diffuse like a any sort of lens flair.

This is not to say that these other posters don't have valid points, but it doesn't seem to appear to be that from my perspective.
