What a kick if he got that. Pause... I am a little sceptical though. I watched the video and it looks wrong to me. The pixelization is just not right for the kind of event. The outflow from the object is not what I would expect nor the lighting not the timing. There are enhanced features that don't bleed right from the event. It doesn't mean it's a fake... yet... but it's not quite right.

If there are other corroborating pictures form other sources, I'll believe it. Until then, I'll be sceptical. Most of the astronomical community will want that as well.
