The imagery is not the greatest in quality, but I'd lean at this point towards an effect of projection, perhaps simply the use of a mild light or reflected light upon an animal whose hair and hide had been treated with a phosphorescent spray paint that was (or was not) discernible to someone next to the animal. I would guess the next question would be this: What would be the intent of such a trompe l'oeil?
My mind goes immediately to the military strategist Sir Basil Liddell Hart, a student of Sun Tzu and others, who -- in speaking of slashing cuts into the line (in this case in terms of mind wars) --suggested that the deeper the penetrating cut, the greater the effect (particularly on command), and the shorter the cut, the more immediate the effect. If the intent was was intended to be local (on the protestors, for immediate crowd control/dispersal), but merely captured on video, then the animal would have appeared green to the people in the streets. If the intended mind war impact was on the viewer, the animal would likely not have appeared to be green to the protestors but only seen to be green by the TV viewer. Are there any print reports of protesters seeing green horses (especially at more than one location)?
