That's why I use glasses.

Analyze my own conclusions?........ Seriously?
If you want to really know what is happening you should, besides analysing the information (in this case, the video), analyse your own conclusions, to see if they are being affected in any way.
When we look at an optical illusion, the problem is not in what we see, is in how we interpret things.
It's apparently simple, but how do we decide that something is in front or behind something else? By the clues we see, like perspective (but in this case there isn't any usable perspective), shadows, or by one object intercepting the light coming from the other object.
In the picture I posted does the object go behind the tether or not? It's a picture with two objects, which one is nearest the camera? Simple!
In this case, we cannot be sure if what we see are big objects behind the tether or small, out of focus objects close to the camera.
If the objects are behind the tether, then the tether should block the light coming from the object, so when the object passes behind the tether we cannot see the object, only the tether. But you can see that, when the objects pass by the tether, the tether suffers a slight change of the way it looks on that spot, something that shouldn't happen if the objects were passing behind it.
If the objects are small and close to the camera, then they should block the tether when passing in front of it, but if the objects are out of focus, they appear translucent, and will not block the objects behind them, but they will change the way the objects behind them look. You can see that for yourself if you hold something small, like a paper-clip, close to your eyes. And that's what I think is happening here, when the objects pass by the tether, the tether looks slightly different because the objects are out of focus and in front of the tether.
It's not a question of being in denial (denial of what?), it's a question of scepticism, that I apply not only to the information that I get through my senses but also to my own conclusions, to try to be as sure as possible that I am not being following the wrong path.
It's really worrying that some people can be in so much denial that something so simple can be turned into some big psychological question!
PS: you can see on the following video, also from Martyn Stubbs, that one object, not being as out of focus as in the other video, appears to be in front of the tether, at 03:27.
No, not brainwashed by anyone, much less James Oberg, just an opinion that is not the same as yours.

You have obviously been listening too much to people like Oberg and been brainwashed into believing what your seeing is an illusion.
Why, do you need someone to tell you what you're seeing? I know I do not.
Watch this video and it will explain what your really seeing for you!

But if you can show some evidences that show that your opinion may be closer to the true explanation than mine, I have no problems in accepting it, but the things that guy in the video says are not really evidence, and some are not even true.
Well i've just shown you the evidence and you write, "but the things that guy in the video says are not really evidence, and some are not even true".
Classic response from a debunker!
What's not really evidence? And what's not true?.
That's why I use glasses. Whenever you see changes in the lens flare visible on the video, that means that the position of the camera is changing n relation to the light source, meaning that the camera or the light source and moving from their relative positions. As I suppose the light source in this case is the Sun, what's moving is the camera, either by changing the position or by changing any other of the parameters that affect what we see, like the zoom. I am trying to find a better version of the video, without results so far.
