We checked cameras yesterday and got this series of pictures from one of them


This is a daylight picture of the area near this camera...





Here is the series... pay close attention to the vertical 4 white dots and their movement through the series... Starts in the upper left of the picture then follow it along across the pictures...



















What do you think???

Whatever it was it was either very far away or moving very slowly. Took 21 seconds to travel that distance in the frame.

OK I might be wrong, but the day time pic and the night don't seem to add up??
different view!

my guess is it was a spider's web that caught something and the Ir flash is reflecting off it!
and the spider was still working its web! thus it moving

Correct the day time pic is to the west of the camera spot but a few feet. It was just to give a perspective of the country...

its interesting to say the least. But not being that up on IR light and how it bends, its hard for me to say what caused that. Did it repeat at any other time of the night?

if you look close you will see the image is CLOSER to the camera than far away its on the side closer to cam than things behind it
I have had several things like this over the yrs

Not so far and this camera has been there for 2 years.

I'm betting on a software anomaly causing it. I have had spiders do some weird stuff with my lens but nothing that created 4 vertical dots that maintained their spacing. Just my 2 cents

After you download them I would contact the FAA with the information and see what they say. It seems odd to me with the consistency of the images.

After retrieving my memory cards from cameras that have been out since April I now think its a single spider web strand with dew on it that somehow swung in front of the lens. I had a few that were almost identical.
