[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I am not sure what I see is what you are saying, so bear with me.

Looking at the “Raw Video” at 26 seconds frame by frame to 28 seconds, I see the original object while another object is fading IN on the left. As the object on the left becomes clearer, the object on the right fades OUT.
Doesn’t raw mean unedited?

Using the cloud as a frame of reference, they are almost a mirror image of each other.

The whole point of my post is that the video was NOT "raw", but was, instead heavily and deceptively edited.

Look at the frame at :29 in my graphic in post #1. You are seeing exactly what I saw and posted: a "cross-wipe" or "cross-fade" editing transition.

In a cross-fade, the original gets progressively less opaque, and the incoming grows progressively more opaque. Midway through the transition the frames are equally opaque, so both can be seen at once (albeit a bit indistinctly).

So, yes -- you are seeing at :28-:29 a fade from Frame 5 to frame 3 -- with both visible at once. That's a very common editing technique -- but CBS presented the video as "unedited" -- or "raw".

Good catch!
