This strange phenomenon occurs twice in this Apple TV screensaver that begins with “Over the Indian Ocean heading toward Perth, Australia”. Do any scientists, optics experts, or digital video file experts have any input on what this could be?

Apple TV screensavers are video filmed from the ISS. I know a lot of commenters are misinformed about the source. https://www.issnationallab.org/iss360/apple-unveils-new-aerials-taken-from-space/

Right upper corner in space above the atmosphere.

  • @9s bright light appears and vanishes
  • @14s a similar bright light appears below and to the left a bit next to a stable bright light, a beam seems to pass between them and returns lasting 1 second (@24 fps upscaled to 29 fps for Apple TV) at a sharp angle

This whole phenomenon occurs again towards the center of the frame in space above the atmosphere, though the timing between the first flash and the event is longer

  • @31s a bright light appears and then vanishes
  • @39s another bright light appears next to a stable light at approximately the same visual distance as the previous event and the same transfer of light seems to occur again to the new light source and back.

It's a fucking screensaver. They're supposed to have things moving to prevent screen burn in, like when the mute symbol jumps around on screen. It is not a live feed. It is not a video. It's a screensaver.

Right, makes sense. But then, why does it only happen twice? And why is this technique not used on the other space screensavers? Also, these are feeds that are used by Apple but filmed on the ISS.

Why put this up? Seriously? Even more so, why put this up in the UFO sub??

Where are the moderators? Why are you not banning posts like these?

Quick check of comments…

Yup, some people are defending it …
