Flashes of light don't create physical deformation.(*)
(*) Well, they can, but not for any practical purposes possibly applicable to this case. |

That's a truly idiotic conclusion to draw. Different flashes at different times and in different places are allowed to have been caused by different mechanisms. The ones this video refers to are clearly reflections off spinning pieces of debris. To suggest this is refuted by things that look different to this having different explanations is about the sort of inane nonsense that's been the staple diet of the truth movement for seventeen years.
