Another UFO
I'm not claiming little green men but wonder what this was.

Re: Another UFO
I would say it is nothing too far distant. Probably two fireflys about to meet or departing from each other.

Re: Another UFO
I have recorded similar many times -
usually Very bright - last 1 frame video -
over half of the time its 2 or 3 objects -
at first thought it was bugs -
but after recording many time my guess is
meteor heading towards /away from camera location -
usually No streaks seen - most of light in small area making it Bright -
By eye I see 10X more flashes in sky than meteor streaks

Re: Another UFO
There are so many possibilities of what it "could be", that just no way to tell. So no one can really say with assurance what it is. FWIW, other possibilities would be cosmic ray hitting the camera's sensor, and also could be a saturation trail. The latter happens when a pixel on the censor gets overloaded and it's charge gets dissipated onto surrounding pixels, often on a small narrow trail. Actually it very much looks like a saturation trail censor artifact. So exactly what it could be is a large number of things. Of the many possibilities which one in particular? That can never be answered as not enough data points to determine. Could be something real the censor imaged, could be a spurious censor artifact. It will forever remain a mystery...which means the ancient alien theorists likely will say those unusual lights you recorded must definitely be alien in origin
