UFO Spotted!

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

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

Mad :) Ive seen a few videos of this, there`s a thread on here I think PK and a few others have recorded the same or very nearly the same

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

Looked very simalar to them  ;D

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.
