# While discovering Yellow Pikmin, you can move the radar to find Alph just standing by the Drake. If you "un-pause" while in radar mode, he'll just idle about in his tiny circle of fog of war; you can hear him and the snow and everything. It's not that strange, but I didn't expect you to be able to see it.

In the top right corner, Brittany's cursor is pointing to them. Those are the only 3 examples I've seen in the game of strange colorless shapes like this. You can see them by either getting Brittany up out of bounds or (the method I used here) facing the geyser as you use it and then turning the camera around 180 degrees as she flies through the air. You only see them briefly; they appear to be '''very''' far in the distance. Could we be looking at pre-loaded bits of another part of the Distant Tundra? It's hard to say... I'll see if I can get a closer look. [[User:Scruffy|Scruffy]] ([[User talk:Scruffy|talk]]) 18:23, 2 September 2015 (EDT)

The lens flare is definitely from outside sunlight, meaning the game thinks that the sun can be seen in the cave in that position and renders the flare. The strange light... I'm not sure. It also sort of behaved like some sort of glare, but I can't tell what that glare is supposed to come from. By the way, both these pictures faced the general direction of the landing site.
