An easy way to settle this nonsense once and for all .
Borrow a welding mask and go take a look at the sun .
If you don't spot anything unusual then it is obviously a camera anomaly that causes the second sun to appear.
If you do spot anything , why not attempt to film it too ?
Have fun

my guess it's either jupiter or venus or some other body reflecting the sun. Because if it is a second sun then we would feel the effects ie global warming increased radiation earthquakes tsunami's etc.......................wait we allready have that
Be careful that you use the right kind of glass! Welder's glass is numbered from 1 to 14 with 14 being the darkest. It is only number 14 glass that is dark enough for solar viewing! And NO STACKING! A pair of number 7's or a 10 and a 4 together DO NOT have the same protection as a single piece of number 14

Not true.
Shade 14 welding glass will protect your eyes from the sun...

However if the sun doesn't come back for three days I'm running for my end of the world the gods are returning survival kit "my manual can opener for left handed people"

Google a Venus transit. Venus is very very small next to the sun, even when in front it will look like a moving sunspot. That video is showing a reflection of the sun in the lens of the camera against the lens of the sunglasses he is using to dim the sun.

The second sun is a reflection off the lens inside the camera(and hence smaller) due to the refraction of light passing through the sunglasses.
I'd be willing to bet that the sunglasses used, were polarised.
