Hello... I watched a youtube video this morning posted by a channel that mostly specialises in sky phenomena. I was somewhat intrigued by the first photo/video discussed by the uploader, and wanted to discuss it here as I knew there were people with more camera-know-how than I have, who might be able to shed some light.
Here is a screenshot:
As you can see, there is something visible bottom-left of the sun. As you watch the video you will see the person who took it, moving his camera around, trying to prove that this isn't a lens-flare. Sure enough, this object doesn't move (you can see a flare which does move relative to the camera).
So... thoughts? Can lens-flares or other artefacts, stay static in this way?
I'm not a believer in nibiru / planet x or what-have-you by the way - I'd think that if something was close enough to be visible like this then it would surely be having some gravitational effects. (Strange weather and earthquakes notwithstanding of course!)
But that said, to me at least, this does look slightly curious. If it turns out to be something curious then at least we'll be aware of it - but equally if it turns out to be some sort of camera artefact then at least we'll all be a bit more knowledgeable
Here is the full video (he shows other photos/videos later on, but this item appears first. He also shows it with different filters, etc.):
