This is an incredible piece of video. At the 1:20 mark you clearly see some greenish figure moving through the crowd.

Between the crowds of protesters and barricades, the video shows a flowing, pale green image that resembles an erect rider atop a horse in Medieval-like barding. The ethereal figure remains for a few moments before floating over protesters' heads and off the screen.

Is this the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse?"

2. I am going to assume that somebody at FauxSnooze faked that
until proven otherwise. And it's very fakey gliding, like the image was just inserted and slid along, rather than tru horse-like walking movement.

FAKE FAKE FAKE

6. Lens flare
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens. These mechanisms differ from the intended image formation mechanism that depends on refraction of the image rays. Flare manifests itself in two ways: firstly as a haze across the image, making the image look "washed out" by reducing contrast and color saturation (adding light to dark image regions, and adding white to saturated regions, reducing their saturation), and secondly as visible artifacts.

Flare is particularly caused by a very bright light sources either in the image – which produces visible artifacts – or shining into the lens but not in the image – which produces a haze. Most commonly, this occurs when shooting into the sun (when the sun is in frame or the lens is pointed in the direction of the sun), and is reduced by using a lens hood or other shade.

7. It's a lens flare
With all the cameras they must have sitting around, has nobody ever seen one of those before? Do they shoot their field reports on cell phones or something?

8. My favorite comment from the thread.
"This is the sign we've been waiting for. This is my final transmission before I seal my bunker. I've got 10 years worth of canned goods and a copy of the bible. My wife and kids will be ok. Will you survive? Signing out."
