My neighbor saw my Jupiter photo and asked if I could zoom in on the 'little green guys'

This was in my driveway in Phoenix after I'd spent four hours on a single shot. I had to explain that even the James Webb can't find aliens in my backyard shots.

Check your white balance for swamp gas.

Wait, is this a dig at the weird green tint in the video? Because yeah, that looks totally off.

The green tint drives me crazy because it's such an obvious sign someone messed with the levels or tried to fake something. I had a similar thing happen last year where a guy posted a "UFO" video and it was clearly just lens flare with the saturation cranked up. Every time I see that green hue I just roll my eyes. Swamp gas is a good one @andrew778, I've heard people blame bugs, drones, and even Chinese lanterns for stuff that's obviously just a bad filter. Four hours for one shot and someone thinks you're hunting little green men is the kind of respect astrophotography gets.
