Bad seeing made far worse intermittently by the plume from the chimney you see towards the end of the video.
That's great debunking if correct for the Texas video however I can't see the home well enough in the video to see a chimney nor do I have the software to mess with the contrast and brightness.
It was not important for me to debunk the video because it was precisely what I observed in Seattle where subsequently there is a ban on wood burning fireplaces and no observed heat sources distorting my view of Venus.

I learned the conspiracy theorist mind seeks truth or verification even when facing those who KNOW and still deny truth.
Some though will allow FEAR of the unknown to PREVENT them from recognizining REALITY is more then what they were taught in SCHOOLS. Just sayen
Or theres a slight chance,but a possibility none the less,that the venusians were trying to launch a plasma missile at earth,but aimed it in the wrong direction,this time...

Over 1600 major volcanoes or volcanic features are known,see map in link and there are many,many more smaller volcanoes.No one has yet counted them all, but the total number may be over 100,000 or even over 1,000,000!"edit on 28-12-2011 by blocula because: (no reason given)

i do remember seeing this on t.v. - i am unable to recall the program - science channel, discovery, something but it showed a burst of what i came to understand as a magnetic field - wish i could recall - venus is highly magnitized -
en.wikipedia.org...
A magnetosphere is formed when a stream of charged particles, such as the solar wind, interacts with and is deflected by the intrinsic magnetic field of a planet or similar body. Earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere, as are the other planets with intrinsic magnetic fields: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter's moon Ganymede has a small magnetosphere — but it is situated entirely within the magnetosphere of Jupiter, leading to complex interactions. The ionospheres of weakly magnetized planets such as Venus and Mars set up currents that partially deflect the solar wind flow, but do not have magnetospheres, per se.
what i do recall is these burst happen at certain points in their orbit - i'm going to dig a little further -
here's a link www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu... i find interesting but it is waaaaay out of my league!
great find - s/f
EDITED: i remember now, it was john gorman youtube site:

Don't make assumptions about what other people believe or why they believe it. My statement is just to give you an example of someone who does not fit the box you seem to be putting people like me in.

All I am saying is, And I know you're educated in this field my friend, is that it has looked more so lately. Could be the clear sky that we have had out here in the West, or not? I do know that it seems more bright than it did after the record setting winds we had out here on the west coast around a month and a half ago. Clear skies for almost a week. My pool full of leaves can varify that. At the same time, I think stars and planets change all the time from what I have gathered, and some of it gathered from you. ~SheopleNation
"Venus, with its cometary tail, is evidently still discharging strongly today after a recent cometary past noted globally by ancient witnesses. Venus was described variously as a ‘hairy star’ or ‘bearded star’ and a stupendous prodigy in the sky. Today, Venus’ comet tail operates in the dark discharge mode and is invisible. It can only be detected by magnetometers and charged particle detectors."

I am not putting you in a box ngchunter, I just dont take the normal what I am told for truth.
The flare example shown by others isnt the same as seen in the OP.
kinaree
notice the kinaree object present in these photos below also Venus behavior looks different from the OP images.

A four year study has just been completed by the Academy for Peace Research to test whether or not humans can alter solar and geomagnetic activity by meditating, visualizing, or praying....
Crimes, riots, accidents, psychotic episodes, many types of illness, and just plain grouchiness have all been found to increase at times of solar activity and/or geomagnetic disturbances. This is not a theory; diverse studies by many researchers in different countries over many years have supported the same general conclusion....
When people learned of this research they proposed that peace meditations could have a beneficial and calming effect on solar activity. Edgar Cayce had said this would be possible many years ago. The hypothesis was formalized in the design of an experiment called: THE GLOBAL MEDITATION PROJECT. People were invited to meditate at six dates each year (the Solstices, Equinoxes, etc.). A 3-1/2 year study culminated in June 1988 with the alignment of six planets close to the Galactic Center. Normally such an alignment would have been expected to trigger a large increase in solar activity, and an increase in international battles. Although there was an increase in solar activity there was actually a dip one day after the peace meditations. (There were few world upsets and a number of positive international steps taken towards peace in June 1988, a wonderful turning point may have occurred.) Such dips were also observed during the first two years of the experiment, the only times that the data has been analyzed so far. On the average the effects of several million people meditating appears to have resulted in a decrease in solar activity of up to 30% for a period of 7 to 10 days following the meditations.

So we're done with the deny ignorance stuff now? Can I put my tin-foil hat back on now? I mean seriously look how many have come forth with quality evidence that it is nothing more than a lens flare, yet you have all these "others" who continue to yell "look man it's not a lens flare! Just Look at it! Does that look like a lens flare?!"
Guess what? it does. Thank you Phage and nghunter for tackling this before it got out of hand. Sadly, to no avail. It seems people will think anything to keep any theory in their mind alive. I'd love to stay and see how this blows over, but I'd rather go play BF3. Good night
Once regarded by astronomers as a small and relatively insignificant star, the Sun is now thought to be brighter than about 85% of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy, most of which are red dwarfs. The absolute magnitude of the Sun is +4.83; however, as the star closest to Earth, the Sun is the brightest object in the sky with an apparent magnitude of −26.74. The Sun's hot corona continuously expands in space creating the solar wind, a stream of charged particles that extends to the heliopause at roughly 100 astronomical units. The bubble in the interstellar medium formed by the solar wind, the heliosphere, is the largest continuous structure in the Solar System.
