What weird or strange things (or interesting) things have you caught with your bird?

I haven't caught anything unusual myself, but got a laugh out of a car skidding on ice when coming to a junction lol

Caught up with this guy the other day. I had to bring him his shirt. At least that's what I THOUGHT he said. It was a parachute he was asking for! My bad.

I was up flying real early one day in the summer and caught two females climbing up on the roof of the local elementary school. I think I scared them when I flew over them because they quickly got down and got in their van and fled. They were certainly up to no good lol.

Any video? That’s crazy.

This probably isn't that unusual but it seemed odd when I saw it. I was flying around a train yard and while editing, saw train cars moving without any engine...just by themselves. After some searching I learned that this was a "hump yard" where a train backs up on a hill. They unhook a car which rolls down the hill by itself. They can electronically switch which track it goes to allowing them to organize the various trains in the yard. You can see it at 2:20m.

Houston Texas. Englewood train yard. 96 tracks side by side. The train yard footage was a Litchi mission. The side shots and chasing the moving train was Go4 manual. That was a fun day.

At 3:33 the cart between the two locomotives. What would its use be? Awesome video by the way.

Pretty sure that is a remote controlled engine for the "humping" yard. Its controlled from the tower of the Hump yard. Answer was from cousin who works for N&S Railroad in Ohio.
