Was it a bird or a plane? or UFO?

It's a peppers ghost illusion IMHO.
As 90% of all ufo 'sightings' are.

Rods are Bugs. You can even count the wing beats in one exposure. I saw a TV show where video experts analyzed some videos. I was shocked that nobody said "its a bug". Here I am a common idiot on the street, and I instantly knew, its bugs. Out of focus at any distance, motion blur.

Here is a site with a video that shows more of the same... and some theories
of what they may be...

Take a look at my second photo in this thread, left hand side of the photo.

I just presumed it was an insect moving quickly though the shutter speed was pretty high.

I have been filming/testing cctv stuff in the past and picked up stuff like this on the IR camera. It was little flying things. Nothing strange or unusual. More interestingly I caught badgers, hedgehogs and stuff I never knew frequented my garden at night. lol

@Doc.. If you are referring to your "Optical Trapping" photo...
I'm sorry... maybe it's my eyes or my monitor... but I can't see
where it is....

No, that wasn't my post, the next post is mine, its the second storm photo.

I guess it will be a UFO until someone positivly identifies it...

It is probably one of their execs practicing their Tee shot and sliced one off the building their camera is mounted on. Oops...

Hey Doc.... got it..
I should have read who's post I was reading....

BTW... That first storm pic is awesome...

@allthatwhichis... It's funny... when people hear UFO they immediately assume "little green men and flying saucers"...
even though the term UFO is used for any terrestrial or non-terrestrial Flying Object that is Unidentified..
