My first UFO filmed over North Shropshire- Any Ideas?

General Drone Discussion

I’d sent my Mavic-2-Zoom directly up above me last week on 10th August 2023 at 14:30hrs.
It was at an altitude of around 70metres, & I was just having a scan at the surrounding fields to see if any combine harvestors were out nearby for an upcoming photography project.
I was in the air for less than 3 minutes having not seen anything of interest, but when I viewed the footage later that evening I noticed the ‘White Object’ flying towards & just underneath me.

Ive slowed down the footage & tried to stabilize the object along its track, but Ive still no idea what it was - Any ideas?

Those barns are located 1km away, & looks like I was on full (2x) zoom.

Just escaped the laboratory smoking a fag.

I did wonder about the possibility as I often see insects illuminated brightly by the Infra Red of my CCTV cameras at night, but Ive yet to see an insect glowing brightly whilst flying in a straight line during the day.

I guess the main problem here would be one of scale:-
Even though it looks like the object originates somewhere near the barns, for all I know it might just be a few feet away.

However - I’m open to any ideas :grinning:

I would say a seed head off of something. Similar to a dandelion it was probably up on the breeze.

I’ve got similar footage which shows something ghostly descending followed by flying towards and past my drone….

I’ll look for the footage….

Looks like a Phantom of some sort (DJI type)!

I’d second a DJi Phantom flying at max speed.

Although there’s aspects in the close up shots that indicate a horizontal spinning “cross” shape, I think I’d have got a much sharper shot of a largish drone approaching at under 50mph

Either a small feather or similar bit of a plant with a seed in it. Once you know, you can’t unsee it.

I guess there are a lot of these around at the moment, but that doesnt answer why it would have appeared to be glowing as white so much.
It also appears to have floated around a bit when it first became visible, before sort of launching itself in my general direction in that straight line - very strange :thinking:

It seems to be flying too straight to be a seed or similar imo

18

When I first saw it I had poor connection and it really really looked like a white insect walking across the frame.

And now with better bandwidth, looks so much like a drone zooming underneath yours. (As others have said)

I thought dandelion or drone myself.

I love these little flying fairies :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
