Title: UFO Spotted!
Post by: TinUK74 on November 18, 2012, 08:56:58 PM
OK so its not aliens, but I dunno what it is, its small, and probably insect in origin!  Any excuse to fiddle with video tools though!

Strange floating object spotted during FPV flight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbrRRkWNXjI#ws)

It was a beautiful day to fly fpv today, very calm and sunny.

How to embed the video in post? ok done it, dont use the youtube embed feature ;)

Rods? I remember watching a program about these flying things that kept showing up on peoples videos, there is no proof or solid evidence but there are plenty of ideas/guesses

I thought rods had been explained.

All to do with shutter speed and fast moving objects. So you get motion blur.

These vids just look like a big bug flying past to me.
