I'm already suspecting trick photography here, and I haven't even done a frame-by-frame analysis yet.”

 To which another replied “Well, the sky is light, but it is also grey. Even if it weren't, here in Texas you can have nothing but rain, and then an hour later skies are blue. That isn't uncommon. Also, lightning storms are a thing, where you get no rain, but lightning happens. They happen in Texas.”

 Another user said, “Looks like you could forge a Ring of Power in that thing...”
