Could some sort of radiation be tweaking the camera to do that? I big radiation release wouldn't be unthinkable.by Nancy 5/21/2011 7:05:35 PM
look I can see the plant fine -at least 1 & 4. You need to tilt the screenby UKVal 5/21/2011 7:05:57 PM
Tepco cam back up, looks normal.by Shadow 5/21/2011 7:06:05 PM
greetings to allby dean 5/21/2011 7:06:42 PM
TEPCO cam looks more like twilight but look at the pixelated hue around the plant. pointscope01.jp
by Nancy via Pointscope01.jp 5/21/2011 7:07:07 PM- does anyone else see what I'm seeing or are you looking at a white screen?by UKVal 5/21/2011 7:07:20 PM
- by Shadow 5/21/2011 7:08:10 PM
I was just going to say that there seems to be a cloud of something around the plant area.by wtm 5/21/2011 7:08:23 PM- please folks tilt the screenby UKVal 5/21/2011 7:08:51 PM
- @UKVal I can see 1 and 4 too by tilting back laptop screen.by jt 5/21/2011 7:09:06 PM
- UKVal, mine is a CRT, can't tilt it for what you see on an LCD screenby wtm 5/21/2011 7:09:37 PM
When LCD screen is tilted its clear that there is a very bright area in the centre of the pic and the brightness is varying markedly, even though the brightness of the rest of the picture isn't.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 7:10:17 PM- @wtm try turning contrast/brightness downby hudebnik 5/21/2011 7:10:39 PM
- when camera went from pink to blue it was trying to swich gain but it wasn't achived.by estacion 5/21/2011 7:10:41 PM
Apparently camera CCDs are susceptible to intense Gamma radiation, which is why the nuke industry use special radiation resistant ones for close plant monitoring.
I'd think the R, G and B components would react at different times and degrees, just as they do in the visible light spectrum? Hence being left with a cyan image for instance (= knocked out Red component). Certainly doesn't look like a 'visible' image anyway, whatever the cause.by Paul 5/21/2011 7:11:24 PM- @hudebnik: because all objetives are more bright at the focal beam.by estacion 5/21/2011 7:11:57 PM
- @estacion - I worked in TV for many years and I have never seen a camera behave like that over only parts of the picture.by hudebnik 5/21/2011 7:12:09 PM
- If this turns out to be the sun, it will be the most spectacular sunrise I have ever seen.by jt 5/21/2011 7:12:23 PM
- @jt don't forget it's the sea behind not the horizonby UKVal 5/21/2011 7:13:03 PM
No doubt this is a camera effect, but here are examples of why it struck my curiosity on seeing the screen capture:
Los Alamos, N. Mex., Aug. 21, 1945
"A "blue glow" was observed "
Los Alamos, N. Mex., June 4, 1945
"the supervisor … noted a blue glow surrounding the box
Los Alamos, N. Mex., May 21, 1946
"The "blue glow" was observed"
www.cddc.vt.edu
Tokaimura, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan September 29, 1999
"he had observed a blue light flashing"

en.wikipedia.orgby Ian 5/21/2011 7:13:32 PM- Brightnes/contrast doesn't do anything for me on this crt, I will have to change it over to a LCD one later this day.by wtm 5/21/2011 7:13:34 PM
- @hudebnik I'm so glad you've seen it too!!by UKVal 5/21/2011 7:13:34 PM
- Can someone capture some pics please?by hudebnik 5/21/2011 7:15:00 PM
- I think you need an LCD & easy tilting to see thisby UKVal 5/21/2011 7:15:06 PM
Okay got the video with the screen tilted, uploading nowby deb 5/21/2011 7:15:48 PM
i guess it's a sunrise with night vision googles.by Edano 5/21/2011 7:15:49 PM- @hudebnik i can't -don't know how but also I'm not sure it would workby UKVal 5/21/2011 7:15:58 PM
- Whatever it is, it is centered on #3 area.by wtm 5/21/2011 7:16:17 PM
- Yes, this is directly on #3, soon you can seeby deb 5/21/2011 7:16:50 PM
- #3 was building up pressure in the D/W and radiation.by wtm 5/21/2011 7:18:20 PM
- Tilt toward you and center turns reddish. Cool!by Shadow 5/21/2011 7:18:34 PM
- @edano - if the sun has started flickering as well I'm really getting worried...by hudebnik 5/21/2011 7:18:36 PM
- @hudebnik : athmospheric turbulences.by Edano 5/21/2011 7:19:10 PM
When the pic was still pink: i53.tinypic.com
by Mina via I53.tinypic 5/21/2011 7:19:14 PM- @Edano why only in 1 place?by UKVal 5/21/2011 7:20:35 PM
- Last stats on #3 , pressure in S/C was building, and the radiation in the D/W was very high.by wtm 5/21/2011 7:21:16 PM
- if it's anything like 24 hrs ago when it fades you'll see it's cloudyby UKVal 5/21/2011 7:21:20 PM
- I can see 3 again.by jt 5/21/2011 7:21:59 PM
- Looks misty on Tepco cam.by Shadow 5/21/2011 7:22:21 PM
- another idea: tepco uses laser pointers on tippycam.by Edano 5/21/2011 7:23:00 PM
- it's losing intensityby UKVal 5/21/2011 7:23:11 PM
- When I watch on the program little screen I can pick up the tilted screen, but after saving and uploading, it's showing all the pink. Sorry :(by deb 5/21/2011 7:23:32 PM
The hue went from pink to blue all at once -- almost as if there's a filter on the cam that automatically switches when it senses a certain amount of light.by bojack54 5/21/2011 7:24:25 PMDuh me, so many videos, so many colors. Try this
by deb 5/21/2011 7:24:57 PM
@bojack54 Auto-white balance perhaps.by Rob in SF 5/21/2011 7:25:01 PM
