    Can someone please tell me what that was? Smoke & shadows? Optical illusion? It’s very eerie.

  • MinneSoCold

    It’s a background object reflection off the glass in front of the camera. You notice the “horseman” only moves, along with other reflected lights, when the camera starts panning. I saw a larger and more detailed version elsewhere and you can clearly see. I admit it kind of looks like some kind of ghostly horseman, but it’s really just a simple reflection.

      Thank you. :beer: I’ve seen it all over the internet, but there was no speculation of what it might have been.

    oooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ooooooooooooooo

    I tend to agree it looks like something on the lens.
    The problem is it moves faster than the panning camera.

    • MinneSoCold

      It’s the distance to the glass that causes at reflection to move faster. The camera is very far away from the action, so it’s zoomed in, making a slight move by the camera a fast shift in the frame.

    It is obviously a reflection in the camera lense – it becomes most obvious at the last second when the camera has panned right.

    doesn’t look like any lens flare to me. Very creepy.

      watch this…

      The shape matches the shape at the edge of the fire. It’s a reflection off glass in front of the camera or off one of the lens elements.

      Yeah, Mark, me neither. If you pause the video, you can distinctly see the image of a horse. Something about this “debunk” doesn’t add up.

  • Robert In Texas

    What ever “it” was, bring it…that whole fucking area needs to go anyway. Why put off the inevitable. I’d feel better knowing that my son and daughter will have a better chance to stay away from this shit.

    Other countries should be glad I don’t have a chance to be President of the world for just 24 hours… :twisted:

  • Mike in Utah

    If you look at the hind quarters of the horse, you will see the legs move just like a real horse does when it starts to gallop. I do not think it is a reflection.

  • We go “Nee”

    Looks like the ghost of the green knight to me…. he was vanquished last month at medieval times.

  • michael

    Come on people….You can see three to four other small reflections to the left and one below that move in concert with the large (admittidly eerie) larger reflection as the camera pans.

    BUT..what about the “ORB” over the temple mount last week? Has that been explained?
