Air 2 Any idea what just flew past the drone?

[careless]

I think it's an Albino Humming Bird

Notice how the object is in focus for a bit and as it heads towards the upper middle of the frame starts to go out of focus? This implies that it is actually quite close to the camera, ie closer than the 1m min focus distance.

Exactly, if it were a drone at the perceived distance, it would still have been in focus.

Hi, this is a snippet from a video I caught yesterday. Any idea what just zoomed right in front of my drone at high speed?

Looks like a device to capture a drone, and you were the lucky target!

What ever is was, it turned out to be joy to read this thread

I agree it's a fun thread but it's obviously a tiny space alien!

Youtube. Search "Fastwalker UFO". I've caught one with my drone, and it left me scratching my head.

Another tiny piece of something drifting on the wind. It's remarkable how this seems to be an insurmountable optical illusion for so many people.

Speaking of what was it. Here is a link of a guy flying a mavic 2 and he sees an object wiz by.

What are those things?

It defiantly looks like a drone and a phantom type as there are many that look like that, yes it was going at a fair lick (in English) very fast.

Looks like a pair of Dandelion seeds to me, they are tiny so they were just very close to the camera giving the illusion of high speed but moving only at the speed of the wind.

Yep?

 

[Umberto]

I don't think it are a pair of Dandelion seeds. They would need to pass quit close and the wind of the props would blow them away. To me, it looks like added afterwards ;-)

They are out of frame before the current from the drone would have effected them and as pointed out by someone else they get so close they get out of focus at the end.

Firstly that’s a beautiful scene. That was a DJI (GSS) Geonet supervising seagul. They also use eagles and certain areas peregrine falcons. A close one, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing. Godspeed Droniac

I went full screen and stopped the video @ about 5 secs. I bumped it on the line below to bring it in. Definitely NOT a bird. I saw what I think are 2 propellers. RC plane? Could be a drone in sport mode (@Itzmyobsession). Came in low and was climbing out. Whatever it is...it only took 1 - 1.5 seconds to cross your FOV. It was definitely moving.

Any rich person's house or government buildings there? Their security patrol? (I say that somewhat jokingly, but ya never know)

This got very interesting thanks to Propwash! Thanks to all. Hmmmm. What the Hec was that then? ?

Of course I’m jesting ….

Defiantly alien. ?

Defiantly alien. ?

? Like 51Drones. Hmmm. Shady.

I slowed it way down (10% initial speed) and enhanced and zoomed the video. At times.... it looks like a drone.

LOL. It's just a couple of Dandelions floating by... That's it.

It's just a couple dandelions floating past as you fly forward...
