Aztec Death Star One

The fact that the first and third videos are from Sony cameras makes me think that the shape of the out of focus light (the circle with a flat bottom) may be common to the type of lens used, and the reason why we must rule out the any out of focus effects when seeing videos like these.

probly venus, and some dust on the lens

I tried yesterday to reproduce that small object on the bottom of the white circle, but I could not.

What I noticed on my tests was that if I put an object between the camera and a light source but blocking just the bottom of the light, I would get, when filmed out of focus, a circle with a flat top.

If that is the case with the videos posted in this thread, that means that there is something blocking part of the top of the light source.

And I still do not have any explanation for the small object.
