Solar flare coming from planet Venus, 28th December 2011

Well, let me point out the first and most obvious flaw about this vid... how can a "solar flare" come from Venus?
The term "solar" refers specifically to the sun aka "Sol". Whatever it is from Venus must be called something else.

Electromagnetic exchanges are going on all the time between everything in this existence. Most of them we can't see. You have to take into account the spectrum that is being recorded on the SOHO to understand what is being seen.

It always cracks me up when YouTube videos like this have the most outrageous claims and statements made from the most ignorant standpoints, specifically in regards to astronomical phenomena.

I just called it a solar flare just because... You understand anyway.

Why be so super pessimistic? No one is forcing you to believe. For me it is just another video.. But hopefully something more.

A poem from me

I see a global warming coming out of gaseous orifices.
Why don't we fear it all?
More bullshit strait out of this VENUS!

Just killing time. Traveling lately in crazy snow storm, I thought I was going to die!

Was pitch black with huge snow flakes attacking my car as I traveled down an icy cold winter highway.

I saw at least two cars flipped out in the ditch. Driving in crazy winter conditions, courage, glad I would make it back to town.

Snow flakes in the dark of night, car lights shining bright.

I remember being reassured that I was not alone on the highway.
The red back lights of the car in front of me made me sane!

The night I thought I was going to crash. Driving a car, snow and ice.

Pessimistic? LOL
No, I was just presenting a base to start an investigation from. That's part of what I consider research: a complete analysis according to the scientific method. Isn't the point to be as accurate and comprehensive as possible when investigating the stuff we look at here?

...and what is it I'm supposed to be believing?

I try not to hold beliefs and instead keep ideas about things. Ideas are easy to change whereas beliefs are much more tricky.

I am an avid sky watcher and find all manner of events in the sky to be amazing. I was presenting some info to start a discussion since this is a discussion forum and all.

That doesn't work for me. hehe
When I smoke, it just motivates me to ask even more questions that I normally do.

Good find, Krise.
Lens flares, refractions and distortions of light sources are always one of the first things to look at in videos and photos like those.

Nice explanation....
