A bug?, isent the secondary mirror and holder a giant size bug but you cant see that in your moon images? I'm not saying its a ship from Venus but if some of the amateur astronomers getting them cant tell what it is or what is causing it, I doubt anyone can. If it is a bug then it should happen more often to people to be common place. Has anyone had something like this happen to them? Also the bug cause has been ruled out by some already. If a beetle crawled on your mirror or even your secondary would it be seen in your webcam video? Also people have images of bats, birds, planes and even the ISS in them but they look nothing like this. What ever it is its very interesting.
Leon or anyone, I would like to know what you think can cause it, after all I guess thats why it was posted anyway. I would like your views on it. Not just on the video file posted but all the other images and video amateur astronomers all over the world are getting of the same thing. These people have big dollar equipment and I guess they know what they are doing well enough to know that they think they have captured something strange. Surely you can do that without being baned, your an amateur astronomer and looked through scopes long enough to add valid input to the thread. How do you think it could happen? explain how you would go about trying to recreate it to see if it has the same effect. I look forward to your ideas
Chrissyo you raise some good points and also point out a common misconception. A UFO is an
unidentified flying object. People that say they are alien space craft or flying saucers have identified it thus its no longer unidentified. People think UFO's and alien space craft are the same thing they are not, thats why some people now call it Unidentified aerial phenomena.
I have included some screen captures, one of the object and one with the path it follows. So people who haven't seen the video know what were are talking about.
