Again, apophenia/pareidolia. Learn something for once.

Wonder what they call the tendency to see swarms of gnats where there are none? Dumbassness?

They only have terms for actual perceptual errors. You seeming to think low quality video with no contrast could easily pick them up would also count as a cognitive error.

You obviously opted out of learning anything.

LOL So there's a cloud of gnats there because the camera can't pick them up? That's the very definition of delusion.

You're obviously intellectually dishonest with no argument, since you have to keep cherry-picking what I said.
But maybe you're memory is actually so bad you really can't remember that I just said you CAN see them against the contrast of the ground.

Lay off the drugs, moron.

You just said they couldn't be seen in low contrast with the camera. Which means you think they are there because they are unseen. Own your stupidity..

Again, your illiteracy has stump you, moron. If something cannot be done "easily" it doesn't mean it's impossible. In this case, the camera cannot easily pick them up against the low contrast sky, but did against the higher contrast ground.

Learn to read, moron.

Again, if the camera isn't picking up anything in the low contrast sky, which it isn't, it doesn't mean a cloud of gnats is there. And you repeating it doesn't make it true..

No, it's simple reasoning skills, which you completely lack.

In lieu of reasoning you substitute "it's a little ghost girl." If that were true, that doesn't explain why the dog ignores the "ghost" after supposedly playing with it, which invalidates it as an explanation for the dog's behavior.

What explains both, are swarms of gnats. You know, parsimony. Wait... you obviously don't know... you're far too illiterate.

Saying it is a cloud of gnats because the camera can't pick it doesn't explain why the dog ignores it either. Assuming dogs don't get tired or easily distracted by their master who's standing there watching him. And the fast moving white translucent shape moves across the yard looks like an apparition not a cloud of gnats. Factor in the little girl's giggle that was recorded and you have compelling evidence of a ghost. Evidence over parsimony every time..
