Purple orb sightings

This video was taken on the morning of August 13th, 2024.

I was on my way out to pick my wife up from work when I noticed a purple flicker in the sky, I started up my car so it could warm up, then went and sat on the hood ( hence sound in video ) to try and take some pictures.

The initial picture looked very similar to others that have been posted recently, while some comments alluded to reflection ( which,it did look very very similar.) being the culprit, I think it may actually be a distortion caused by newer samsung phones camera processing, as there was nothing in my situation to reflect on.

After the picture, I decided to try and snag some video. It was difficult to get a good zoom and focus, which led to some pretty funky visuals that stood out to me as "outlandish", which I still think is something funky in samsung camera image processing. You can tell the affects are most likely camera related as you can see when the "eye" moves, it also moves in opposite unison to the camera direction.

When I was able to get a couple of good zoom and focuses, it was two stars(?) That were oddly shaded purple/violet.

I know this isn't the climactic ending one would hope for, but I wanted to shed a shred of light on the purple orb situation, and point out that this can happen regardless of the presence/lack of glass or other reflective surfaces.

Maybe I'll just start carrying the old Polaroid around with me again 🙂

Good hunting!
