But regardless, here's something to consider for all the 'shapeshifting' video posters.
If I was a shapedhifting lizard man, and from time to time I uncontrollably shifted a little bit.
Would I take up a career as a television reporter?
I think not.
So lets use some common sense here before we cry alien.

Except you're not one of "them" and you don't know how they think. Maybe its not such a high risk and happens very rarely. Maybe they get off by being in the spotlight all the time infront of an ignorant and disillusioned public.

there is some compression issues there but how do you explain the RGB values becoming green where there was no green before. You can see stuff like this happen even on your own DirecTV system due to a cloud mucking up the mpeg compression, however it should only distort EXISTING rgb values and not do some of what it did in this clip. Either this is a distorted fake, or theres some green appearing on that guys face. I dont think you can explain this all away with it being a compression issue.

can we get a video compression expert and someone with knowledge on how to break down a video frame by frame, to zoom these entire series of images of the man in the opening sequence and, step by step, track the movement and shape of the "artifact" on his forehead?

The only way to resolve these kinds of anomalies with those who find this type of thing believeable, is to prove it. The evidence is readily available, all we need is the expert analysis. Otherwise, just yelling at people who believe it, that it's nothing to be concerned about, only heightens suspicion. Best route would be to use expertise to determine what is going on in the video. Why does the compression artifact, follow his head around, even as he leaves the frame, and in the exact same area of his forehead and brow? Does it, or does it only appear to?
Best to just address it, rather than yell, hoot and holler that people who believe or present such data are paranoid and delusional. That's not gonna fly. What will though, is evidence that it's just an artifact on the image.

Meanwhile good, interesting, thought provoking and real subjects get nothing.
What a waste.
