well, this one, though it is merely medium sized (!!!!), is pointed at a space where the earth is not. If you look at the video you can notice that the sphere of the sun is rotating from left to right. The explosion happens on the lower right side, and is moving away from the point of view of the camera as it happens. Assuming the camera is in the area of the earth, this would mean that this flare is "spraying" past us, hence the reporting of a "glancing blow" to earth and our technological penumbra.
