Mick West | What I mean by Glare (vs. Flare, vs. UFO) @MickWest | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
"Glare" and "Flare" mean different things in different contexts, and this confuses some people when they watch my explanations of the "Gimbal" UFO video. I think that's a "rotating glare". But what does that mean?
By "glare" I mean the spread of light directly around a very bright light source.
I don't mean lens flare. I don't mean reflections off glass or water. I don't mean the hazy "veiling" glare. I don't mean sensor spread.
This glare, the spread of light around a bright source, also occurs in infrared camera systems. I think that's what we are seeing with the gimbal video. I think it's a glare that's obscuring the plane, and the rotation is actually an artifact from some rotation in the camera system.
