Is this a bug or some sort of Mirage effect?

In this video at
around 1:50 start seeing the ground colour change from orangish to brown. This radius of colour change (colour varies by terrain) extends around the ship consistently wherever I go. Graphics are set to Ultra. What is causing this? Halp!

It's a very obvious detail level change that is limited to a radius around you. I see it sometime on the black ice worlds too where the black level changes along with the shine. Some planets show it off more than others
 
Yeah some planets the radius is much larger than others too. Like as you're flying looking for flowers it looks like you're constantly flying towards a mirage whatever distance away. I'm surprised it hasn't received as much 'discussion' as tiling has.
 
It's very obvious on planets that are very red, I have noticed it myself.
That's where I first experienced it as well. I've mostly been landing on atmospherics with bio signals, but I'd say it's at least 1 out of 10 planets (regardless of colouration) that exhibits this behaviour, if not more.
 
Seems to just be a feature of EDO planet tech. I've seen plenty of this in people's vids, along with terrain that dematerializes once you approach.

Never had the terrain dematerialise, just a slight colour change on the ground in the immediate vicinity that's almost certainly due to detailed rendering of the surface scatter. On red planets it's a marked colour change.
 
I think that's low-incidence reflection. It's particularly evident on icy planets, and I usually get a very white glare when the angle of incidence is low, and whatever color the ice is (usually a less saturated color (ie, close to grey/black) at higher angles of incidence (ie, terrain closer to the ship).

Saw some plants in a mountainous area and had to land outside of it. Driving into them (at really low speeds) I see the landscape etc actually morph into shape as I approach. Playing on Ultra+.
I think the new planet tech still has some teething issues.
