Looming

Integrated spatial information indicating an impending collision with a moving object is called lumigon. The individual receives this information because of the accelerated increase of the image, the shape, the silhouette or shadow of an approaching object.

This effect occurs not only when a valid approximation, but when the physical information only simulates the approach or removal - increase object size, increasing brightness, etc.

This illusion can distort the perception of the witness of the trajectory of the UFO and other objects.
