Upload to Youtube, then paste a link on here.I'm trying to upload a short video and a picture. But after the upload seems complete it says I have the wrong file extension. Which is weird. What are the file types that can be uploaded to this forum?
Pretty good analysis.I know your post is nearly two years old and forgive me if “everything has been identified and no further discussion necessary.” I’ve had my P4Pv2 for nearly a year now and in one of my flights in the northeast Nebraska area, I found one of these too. My first thought was maybe someone shot at my drone... No, this came from way to far away to see it. I counted the frames from the point it disappeared below between my drone and the river. It was 14. I was recording 4K at 60fps(interpolated). Going backwards, the furthest I could see, using two pair of readers was approximately 3 miles according to the mile roads I saw. This means the object flew 12 miles per second. That’s fast enough to brush off as artifacts, bugs, whatever. While reading of others experiences on this forum and watching their vids, I noticed strickingly similar elements. 1) High Speed; 2) White tubular shaped, generally with a lighter tail - possibly an overlapping exposure of the same item, as shooting with interpolation; 3) many times these things travel in twos or threes; 4) They generally have a flight path coming toward the drone. The “one” I just barely noticed while creating a short highlight video was actually accompanied by two others when I viewed the video frame by frame. A second clip about two miles north of the first I found three more as I looked frame-by-frame. As interesting as these things are, there does not appear that any “good” came come from showing them to others, so I’ll just call them fireflies. Seems that these fireflies are drawn to drones, maybe curious of the way they can fly, because it’s hard to believe i saw six of them within a 3 square mile area. Anyway, happy firefly hunting!
Except that it can't possibly be right.Pretty good analysis.
That's 43000 mph which is also fast enough to eliminate any physical object from the suspect list.No, this came from way to far away to see it. I counted the frames from the point it disappeared below between my drone and the river. It was 14. I was recording 4K at 60fps(interpolated).

That's exactly the problem, estimating the distance when it first comes into sight. Judging distance in 2D is impossible without knowing the size of the object.Except that it can't possibly be right.

That speed is physically impossible down here in our atmosphere so something's not quite correct in your calculations.
If the thing is visible in frames taken over that time period, the error must be in the presumed distance and the thing was not nearly as far away as you've thought.
How big is the thing?
How far away can your camera resolve an object that size?
It would have to be several hundred feet across for the camera to show it at 3 miles.
Yip originates way back as at @LovMyTJ shows,,I tryed to get good shot but to fast and cause a blur,,great stuff anyway ,this subject I absolutely love,,watched 50 times at least,,just coolI guess that in the truest sense, the acronym UFO covers a lot of things. That being said, I saw a UFO. Well I can't identify it anyway.
I was flying tonight just as the sun was going down testing my P3P recently returned from DJI for a repair. I really wasn't looking at the feed as much as watching the GPS satellite count and other telemetry while flying so I totally missed the object flying by me just below. I have no clue what it was and I was way above the trees and pretty much anything else that might have caused a collision. Here's the video. See what you think. I was filming at 1080 X 30fps. so I really couldn't do a very good job of slowing it down in post so you could identify it.
