Did not see the “purple trim” on the adjacent building. Tell me at how many seconds in the video can you see this purple trim. I don’t see it.

I’m not following your 10 ft from the camera and 4 inches in diameter point either? Sorry.. It looks like it’s way beyond 10 feet.

Well, if you read my post #10 carefully, you will see that I made no reference to "purple trim" on a building, or anywhere. I don't know who was talking about "purple trim," but it wasn't me.

What I did refer to was a "purple disk that gets between the decorative trim and soffit of the adjacent building and the camera."

You can find this for yourself, if you look at the video between 1:15 and 1:23. At 1:15, the video lingers on what at first appears to be a white disk, but soon is revealed to be a lens flare caused by the direct rays of the sun which are fairly close to the optical axis of the camera's lens. What reveals it to be a lens flare is the achromatic fringing on its opposite sides; a little more reddish on its left edge, and a little more bluish on its right edge.

Then, just for a moment, at 1:22, you can see a reddish-purple disk, so foreshortened that it appears to be a line, just under the letter "A" on the sign at the left side of the frame. That's the "purple disk" I referred to in my post #10.
