It doesn't look like artifacts look: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/a-gimbal-glare-explainer.12... tho it still might be.

This theory is the one of yours least easily dismissed, but requires further evidence to be more convincing, I believe.

Lol "deep lore" - what are you really some sort of priest on this topic? Ok, priest, what is your read of the bigger picture - not the narrow DoW released videos, but the larger context.

Re the counterpost - i admit it's a good effort to match the graphics - but it still looks markedly different. Thermal overexposure seems less likely given paucity of other examples - what about active jamming? IR laser pointing? Hunch just now: sth about polarized light? Idk.

It was just a joke. You linked a thread about one particular camera artifact but missed the fact that there was another thread about this specific case. I've read all of those threads.

There's not really much ambiguity here regarding these factors now:

- it's a small bright infrared light source attached to a parachute

- the star shape is a camera artifact

The full quote is "don't cite the deep lore to me, I was there when it was written". The intention is to imply that he was there when the thread was created.

well the full full quote is from C.S Lewis' Narnia, where Aslan says:

Do not cite the deep magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.

At this point, I would dismiss every image of anything that shared symmetry with any part of the camera taking the photo.

In the 90s there was a wave of diamond-shaped craft in Europe. All were taken by cheap disposable cameras with four-bladed aperture. The current trend now is fuzzy moving images. They are fixed points like stars and the "motion" and color changes comes from the digital camera's algorithm trying to make sense of a one-pixel signal from the ccd. (See flat earth videos claiming that stars/planets are actually spotlights.)
