Photo of the sun...

[Teakai]

Hi All, here's another photo I took of the sun this morning at 9:45 - I noticed these 2 'balls' near it.

and this one I inverted:

These artifacts are produced by lens flare.
Pretty though :-)

The blue and yellow balls?
:(

I thought I might have gotten something really interesting - like...NIBURU!! or Planet X, or hercolubus, or blue Kachina, or Bp465308 - so many to choose from and all I got was lens flare?

*sigh*
Thanks Upanatom.



No, really, thanks :)

Passing along opinion of alleged video expert of 30 years from Whitley Srieber's site:

Bottom line on the object near the sun. Almost certainly not there.Recently we have received numerous photos and videos of apparent objects near the sun. While it is not the mission of Out There to do more than visual grading of videos, Mr. Strieber is concerned that our posts might spread fear during a time of so much very real change. Therefore, he has asked me to post this opinion from one of his video experts, a professional who has been in the field for thirty years:

"In reference to the image you sent me, the brightness of the central area is too great to register any meaningful shapes on the camera's sensor, which is already fully saturated. But if you look at the convergence of the lens-flare lines, they converge at one point, not two. The clouds seem to be responsible for the extended area of brightness. This also appears to be a widescreen (16x9) video, squeezed horizontally into a 4x3 frame, which would further extend the bright area vertically and would account for the narrowness of what would normally be a wider "X" in the lens flare.

"If a professional photographer or videographer wanted to shoot a picture of the sun, they'd put a heavy neutral-density filter (kind of like a smoked glass) over the lens to bring the sun down to a level that the sensor or film could accommodate, and then stop the lens down as far as possible. That would get rid of the flares, and it would clearly distinguish the sun from the clouds.

"But apart from any technical issues, the bottom line about all these videos is that if there were indeed a "second sun" everyone on the planet would be able to see it with the naked eye. And if there were any odd celestial body in our neighborhood it would have taken long enough to get here that the entire professional and amateur astronomy community would have known about it definitively for quite some time."

Yes, it's lens flare.
To reduce these artifacts it is desirable to use a lens filter.
I too have been busy taking photos of the sun in the vain hope of finding something unusual.
Unfortunately, I have found nothing that can't be readily explained so far.
Like I've heard Icke and Maxwell say so often... Believe nothing until you've done your own research.
I would invite you to go look at my photo album "Sun and Moon" in my profile.
And I would encourage others here to get busy taking their own photos too.
Thanks :-)

The suns are miles apart! I know that somtimes the moon is up at the same time as the sun but not this bright. Most strange.

(Might have put this in the wrong thread! Doh!)

Nice photos, Upanatom.

I don't have a lens filter - I've just got an normal everyday camera. Nothing complex.
And I don't know how to use half the stuff on it as it is.

The sun on the left is in front of the power lines while the bus is driving, looks fake to me.

You will find the additional bright lights on many digital images near the sun in different positions. These are optical effects from digital photography, they are not real objects.

Nice video from China chelmostef. I don't have any explanation for this one. For the moon it looks a little too bright for me. UFO or landing airplane?

think this could be a reflection in the bus window......

My thoughts exactly Setras...
Thanks for making the effort to provide a drawing of how this can happen.
