These videos just look like optical artifacts of the lenses of the cameras, as discussed here: https://youtu.be/jHDlfIaBEqw

Is there any evidence that there's more to these videos than that?

What an extremely annoying, pompous video. Doesn't inspire confidence in their ability to be neutral and factual in the slightest, assuming that its what they're actually striving for and not just a "dumb conspiracy theorists" propaganda piece.
There’s tons of evidence that Mick West is wrong and these are not artifacts of the lens https://twitter.com/the_cholla/status/1598090753011781634?s=...
The countless eye witnesses for one.
Human perception is easily manipulated by peer pressure.
So is human misperception.
That doesn't really make sense. If I show an optical illusion to one person and he gets fooled, showing it to n=1000 people isn't going to suddenly make the optical illusion real.
