Two suns video

First and foremost I would like to thank you all for the great work you are doing on this site. I kind of bought this whole 2012 hype at first (even though my common sense didn't), but now it stands quite clear that this is all just an elaborate hoax. There is only some things that have been "bottered me" latelly, and that is this constant stream of "youtube proofs" such as these:

Look especially close the last 10 seconds of the video, where you can see two separate orbs in the lower right corner. How can that be?
Judging by the angle it doesn't appear to be a sundog or such, so what could it be?

And then there is some videos showing both large anomalies on soho pictures, lasco c3, (there is tons of those on youtube) and then there is this quite disturbing video:

Could somebody please explain what it is that could be seen in these videos, and why they are starting to pop up now? If there was a Planet X/Nibiru etc, wouldn't we be able to see it quite clearly in the sky all the time by now (if it is supposed to arrive in the next two years)?

The first video looks a lot like distortion within the camera itself, showing two Suns when in fact there is only one Sun, this is common for a lot of camera's ranging from still-photo camera's to video recorders, more-so common in the average camera that most people buy from the average store like WalMart, Best Buy, so on and so forth. It doesn't really surprise me. Point a camera at the Sun and you will always get some kind of distortion.

The second video could be anything, there's really no obvious point of reference, but really if you look closely at the end of the video the "object" proceeds to change color which leads me to believe that it's a man-made aircraft or even a heavily distorted video of the Moon. Judging by the frame-rate of the video, it looks like it was taken by a camera from a Cell-phone and these camera's very, very rarely have good quality, especially for seeking imagery from a far distance. So again, the second video could literally be anything.

Quite honestly, these two videos present nothing that I haven't seen before.

Hi Richard;

Thank you for the kind words. A lot of people have put a lot of effort into this site in order to calm down some of the doomsday fears.

Regarding the first video: It is apparent from the author's description that he did not see the extra images until he went back and looked at the video. Right there, that tells me that it is most likely an artifact from the lens elements in his camera. Whenever light traverses a lens surface there is a slight loss due to reflection… most of the light goes through the lens, but some is reflected back. Coated lenses can get the transmission (the light that goes through) up to about 97 or 98 percent. That means that 2 or 3 percent is reflected back into the lens. If the light source is strong enough, such as the sun, then that 2 or 3 percent can itself be reflected a second time at the other surface, which creates a 'ghost' image… a faint replica of the original image. This is called a 'lens flare'.

The second video is more of the same, and if it was a picture of 'planet x' close to the sun, then why are there four of them?

Also, I forgot to mention (late for edit, but oh well), the person who uploaded the video admitted (in the comments) that the birds in the video were fake. Why would he fake birds? Maybe all of it was fake.

Keith: Argument by YouTube :-D I'm all for that one!

I've actually seen two "other suns" on both sides of The Sun, in real life, with my own two eyes. Of course these were just halos seen on a VERY cold, crispy and freezing winter day. But it was neat!
