that is actually a helicopter that was flying by when I took the pic...what are the odds lol

S&F

There is too much paranoia about Nibiru going around. If its big enough to catch on camera, I'm sure some astronomer somewhere would have seen it by now.

Yup im constantly telling people about lens flare, posting links to sources that explain it and posting pics showing the similarities between their pics.

Dont waste your time....regardless of whatever evidence you present they will continue to believe there is a brown dwarf bearing down on us....and that they have photographed it.

I was in a thread earlier where basically the person had used the wrong settings on their camera and ended up with blue pics...i told them what it was (improper white balance setting) gave them links to sites which explained the blue tint.........but the OP then dismissed everything i had said and asked if Phage would come and answer.

Some people are just ignorant....they wont take your advice...my advice...no ones advice. They convince themselves they are right.

Oh yea...and they invert the pic and claim the flare is a solid object...that one never fails to make me giggle lol.

Your a big fat liar, those pictures are of Nibru.Stop giving out disinformation

What I think is funny is when people start howling 'lens flare' or 'camera anomaly' when some one sees something with the naked eye and no camera was even used in the first place. I seen things and told people about them and the very first thing out of there stupid months is 'lens flare' or 'camera anomaly' and I have to tell them LISTEN YOU STUPID FOOL THERE WAS NO CAMERA, I SEEN THIS WITH THE NAKED EYE!!!

I have seen a lot of things since I became a member of ATS ( and a lot before as well) that I would love to tell on here but I do not waste my time because as soon as I do some fool will be howling 'lens flare' or 'camera anomaly' and will not be able to get it though their heads that a camera was not involved.

Yes, a great deal of the photos are nothing but a 'lens flare' or 'camera anomaly' but not all of them.

Your naked eye can also produce the same things....your eyes work in a similar way to a camera lens.

I know you do not want to hear that...but its true

I would say most, if not all things like this can be explained if the person telling the story keeps to the facts rather than spicing it up with fiction.

If you could produce a photo of NIBIRU without any glare at all such as through a layer of fog or smoke etc I would be more convinced however the broad daylight unhindered photo of the sun is what 99% of all nibiru photos are of and those also have a 99% lens flare rate...

One thing you'll notice is that pictures alleging a lens flare to be Nibiru (or whatever) always show the Sun - if the object really existed, it should be possible to take a photo of it in which the Sun does not appear. Obviously, cropped images don't count!

Last Saturday I was messing with my son's phone taking some video of "nibiru". I didn't think much of it at the time and deleted it. Anyway my point that your comment reminded me that as I turned the cam slowly towards the Sun I could clearly see a distinct sphere on the screen before the Sun was in frame. It was clearly a reflection as I could make it disappear by blocking the light without covering the "object" itself.

To be clear, a fake second sun could be shown without the Sun in the pic.

About time we had a lens flare thread. Just got a new 60d and playing with the lenses I'm noticing some really cool flares and blobs of light.

It's a great camera for night time filming too. I might do a vid of planes at night. They make better looking ufos than most of the ones folk are screaming about on youtube.
