Notice how much lower than the moon the light gets in the video? The moon could not be that yellow while being that high up unless there were some kind of heavy particulate in the area like smoke. In either case it couldn't be low on the horizon, therefore we can not assume that the light is "outside the atmosphere" just based on the color. As I mentioned before, it's probably that color due to poor white balance in the camera.

We already had a poster mention dust from volcanic activity. And, we don't have any points of reference for the "height-above-horizon", so we have to take his word on it, that the white balance is normal. I've never had a digital camera swing into a strange color, EVER.

Did you read my above thread? IT'S BRIGHTER THAN THE MOON!!! Nothing does that, really.

Can SpaceSilence please try to adjust the "orange" out of his original picture, to get a color for this object?

Thanks,

Furthermore, since I viewed this video, I cannot even access YouTube OR Google ANYTHING... GOOGLE IS DOWN! That never happens, they have thousands of backup systems. THEY SHUT IT DOWN.

wow....

That doesn't look like the moon.
Ive seen a moon similar to that before.
But not that intense red/orange.
Can get orangy red moons when the sun sets later in the evening in summer.
But not that bright orangey/red.
Man I find it incredibly weird how the moon looks totally different in different states in different country's.
Makes me kind of feel like its the truman show like someone is just showing a hologram
Wtf was this thing how can we confirm its even the moon.

First we need the exact time, day hour this was taken?..why..because right now all august Jupiter passes very close to our moon each and every night, its the most bright object (after the moon) in the nightsky and right now its passing very close (i said all august) to the moon!..so we need the exact time, day hour and location so i can plot it on my astronomy software (stellarium, you can downloaded free at www.stellarium.org) so we can discard its not Jupiter indeed!

I am an amateur astronomer.

Just to let you know I have sent a message to the video owner "Clank890"
asking him for more info including dates and if there is any other videos available of this sighting(if that is what it is).I will let the thread know as soon as I learn anything new.

YT is still up and running ,ive just checked and so is google.Try comming off line and going back on again it sometimes helps .

The small object looks like what has have been identified as Jupiter in a previous ATS thread. I've been watching it and it often appears near the moon.

I am also an amateur astronomer, and the MOON PASSES BY JUPITER, not the other way around. I agree that we need to time/date.

Furthermore, Jupiter doesn't change directions or disappear.

AND, Jupiter is the second brightest object in the night sky, after the Moon, and this object is brighter than it, so it's a "light-emitting" object (extremely bright).


Seriously, it's not swamp-gas, either,

Please correct me if im wrong,but I don't think that Jupiter moves that quick,unless they have used some jigery pokery stuff on that video.

I'm starting to doubt the fact that there is something wrong with the white balance after that guy said 'and for some reason the moon appears to be orange'. If he said that because he was looking on the monitor or because it actually way orange. If he said it when looking directly at the moon, then I don't know. If he said while looking at the screen, I'd say there was something with the white balance or general setting of the camera. White balance does that to things, either makes it look blueish or orangeish, depending on the setting.

Before it goes away, it seems to be pulsating for a bit and then going.

A strange looking UFO video from a bunch of kids at camp?

Fake.

edit : btw, there is a star which often appears to be close to the moon however its obvious WAY off in the distance.

Well look it could be faked right?
But it seems genuine with all the talking in the background.
They appear to be rather stunned/shocked.
But then again it could be anything.

Good find, thanks for posting. At first I thought it was Jupiter but it was moving way too fast. Wish the person had zoomed out some so we could get a perspective of it.

It's interesting. But only for one reason to me. I have seen something similar. Not the same but similar.

As I have posted in other threads my wife and I spotted a bright object in the skies of Washington State January before last. On the camera it was bright orange. In the sky it was bright white. At one point a smaller bright object seemed to come out of it and then orbit around. After about 20 minutes a couple more bright lights came out and started to orbit it. It changed direction a couple of times but never zoomed around. Just a nice casual pace.

I bring up the bright lights because at one point they seemed to disappear. This wasn't because they were gone but because the object had moved closer to the horizon and some trees started to blot it out. It looked kind of like what happened at the end of this video.

Is it real? I would say the video hasn't been tampered with. However, does that mean it is an 'alien' ship? I don't know. I just know that I tend to believe that it is something other than lanterns, satellites, planets or airplanes. Especially with the direction it moved and the distance it covered in 4:47.
