That is a closeup of a planet. The swirling appearance is atmospheric distortion from convection pockets.

strange that it only became distorted when she spoke to it.

Venus. It is currently at perigee at aproximately 25 million miles.

I couldn’t tell if you were being facetious, but no matter how much you zoom in on a planet with a phone, and I have tried, it doesn’t look like that.

I don’t know what these are, or even if that is one of them, but as someone who has spent a great deal of time looking at objects of all manner in the sky from planets to airplanes, through devices ranging from telescopes to my naked eyes, what is in that video is unusual.

I have no idea what that is, but I assure you that is no planet being viewed through any kind of earthly atmospheric distortion.

Bingo. Cell phone cameras do strange things when highly zoomed, as they struggle to focus (because the subject is too far away). And as you said, atmospheric distortion also comes into play.

Anyone looking at the sky near sunset the past couple of weeks might have noticed two particularly bright objects. One is Jupiter (in the east), the other is Saturn, in the west. Assuming this video was taken near sunset, I’d bet that if she looked at that “orb” with a decent telescope, she would see Saturn and its rings.

For decades, people claimed to see UFO’s, Sasquatch, Yeti, etc. Once everyone had a camera in their pocket all the time, you would expect someone, somewhere, to get a decent picture or video of one of these things. And yet, to this day, I have not seen a single decent, convincing photo or video of anything. And that is because none of them do, or ever have, existed.

People, generally, are not very bright.

Here's a debunking video that explains the distortion.
