I hear your point, but that still doesn't explain what this is. I'm all for the skepticism, as you can see my posts aren't slanted one way or the other, but this is just strange to say the least. I can't admit to myself that this is a lens flare, not after watching it over and over and comparing it to the other angles.

I think the stars theory from above is solid, i also think it is quite possibly a simple lens flare. It is certainly no an alien craft or anything of that sort

Yeah I don't think it's lens flare, especially after seeing the time lapse version .. it seems pretty clearly to be stars, especially since the same thing can be seen pretty much every day it seems.. I doubt UFO's are just hanging out around the volcano for weeks/months on end ..
Stars folks

Just watched it again and I cant help but notice the top right camera angle shows a bright daytime sky. I have never seen stars in a bright lit sky, it just doesn't make sense to me. If they are stars, what is causing them to appear to be flashing?

So if I set a camera up facing the daytime sky tomorrow, I should get footage of something similar?
I have 20/20 vision and have never once seen stars flash like that with my naked eye, this is very new to me.

What is with the flashes? To me it looked like the volcano was reacting violently to the flashes. .

Truthfully, looking at all of the videos again, i think it is a combination of lens flare AND stars. The daylight ones clearly show lens flare, as it moves WITH the camera (ever so slightly), and the night show stars.

Looks to me like it was just volcanic lightning, and it came out like this on film.

Stars appear to flash in video, and to the naked eye, all the time.
I still contend the ones in daylight are an anomaly of the camera and nothing else. The camera vibrates in multiple of the videos, and if you watch, you see the anomalies do it too.
Also, they appear in the EXACT same place in some of the frames of some of the videos, which would lend credence to the idea that it was a dirty/scratched lens.
There is not one thing that I can see that convinces me anything other than camera anomaly in the daylight videos.edit on 3-4-2011 by captaintyinknots because: (no reason given)
