Fourth Horseman?

A mysterious, pale green figure seen in televised news coverage of the Egyptian riots has prompted some viewers to ask, "Could this be the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse?"

I watched this last night. I have no doubt that is what it is. I showed it to my dad today who is a retired pastor and he agreed too. Take a look and see what you think!

Looks like a reflection of something to me.

[Why So Serious]

interesting footage ... it move so swiftly

[wku man]

Of course it's some kind of reflection, but it's one freaky reflection. The question in my mind isn't what caused it, but why does it look so much like a rider and horse?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Ingtar]

Spooky. Looking closely, it appears to be the reflection of a banner being held fairly near the camera, and not in the crowd.

[Lees Swrd]

I agree I would also say that if the was the 4th Horseman we would not have to question what it was, it would be as plain as day not some fleeting glimpse.

[D-fendr]

Lens flare.

Caused by the fire, which is what the waving portion of the “horseman” is a reflection of.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yes, it looks like a reflection to me, too.

Good grief - it’s an artifact caused by internal flare within the camera lens or anti-glare surface coating on the objective surface . Notice how the shape of the mysterious specter of doom is exactly the same as the brightest area of the flames and as the camera pans the artifact movement is exactly the same as the camera, right down to the bit of hesitation when the photographer begins the pan. You didn’t need to talk to a retired pastor, you needed to talk to a photographer. Mystery solved...

This story has been posted a couple times before. My opinion hasn’t changed: Still preposterous.

[Jo Nuvark]

Looks fake to me, especially the floating
away part.

[Scythian]

I always thought the apocolypse was going to be more than an obsure video on YouTube, who knew ....

So I guess we were “Left Behind” then?

[SoftballMominVA]

Well, since the pale green horseman has the power to kill 1/4 of all on earth, I guess we will know if people start dropping dead.

Myself, I think it’s a reflection or a digital manipulation.

And people wonder why WND is so ridiculed.

It maintains is relative position in the camera field of view as the camera as it moves indicating it is indeed something originating within the optics of the camera.

An alternative would be the camera is following the horse, but then why not center the camera on the horse? If they are able to maintain the absolute relative position, it wouldn’t have been an issue to center the field of view.

Fourth Horseman?

I'm thinking the "Fourth Camel Jockey"........

Read Josephus (1st century Jewish historian) who describes something like the horsemen of the Apocalypse appearing above Jerusalem as it was being destroyed by Titus in 70AD.

“...if the was the 4th Horseman we would not have to question what it was, it would be as plain as day not some fleeting glimpse.”

This was my thought too. We wouldn't/won't have any doubts about if it was there and what we were seeing when it happens. Interesting footage at any rate.

“Could this be the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse?”

Sorry, but it moves like a lens flare within the video.
