Debate Over a Stabilized Triangular UFO Clip: Optical Artifacts, Stabilization Effects, and Unclear Provenance

To the point

An online stabilized clip purportedly showing a triangular UFO ignites a Reddit debate over authenticity, with some accusing CGI and others pointing to optical artifacts like star-filter diffraction or sunstars, lens glare versus genuine flare, and how stabilization and zoom can mislead, while concerns about provenance and connections to official statements and unresolved cases—including references to Elizondo—leave some participants hopeful and others demanding more evidence.

Debate Over a Stabilized Triangular UFO Clip: Optical Artifacts, Stabilization Effects, and Unclear Provenance

A stabilized clip claims to depict a triangular UFO and prompts a Reddit discussion in which some suspect CGI, while others point to optical artifacts such as star-filter diffraction patterns, sunstars, or lens glare rather than a real craft; debates distinguish between lens glare and genuine lens flare and note artifacts that track with camera orientation, concerns that stabilization and zoom can create false impressions like apparent rotation or loss of horizon, questions about provenance and whether the zoom is optical or digital and the expected dimming at longer focal lengths; and references to broader discourse on official statements and unresolved cases, including Elizondo's remark about unscratchable online videos, with participants divided between genuine wonder and calls for more context and evidence.
