... other than an unconcerned armadillo, I haven't a clue.

Last February I left a "trail camera" at my father's house... I expected its batteries to last a month but ten second clips of cats- plus a few deer, 'possums, birds, sixteen days was all it could squeeze out. But this clip is a quizzer... it is SOOC, I've done nothing to the file.

Now, that is a weird one, for sure! I have seen a UFO, and was made a total believer in them. Possible! Any other way lights could be out there? Strange but a cool capture.

This is deep woods, rural Arkansas... ain't no yard lights, street lights... no lights on in the house. Given the armadillo paid no attention- though armadillos don't see very well- or even look up... I'm trying to figure out how something floats in front of the camera lens, reflects the camera's IR light and varies both speed, elevation, direction and separation distance with itself... got me puzzled...

That is a strange one. I think I'd leave that camera out there more often to see if it happens again. I think it's very cool! JESS

A bug dancing around in front of the IR light source very close to the lens.

Seems simple to me. An unidentified object that appears to be flying by.

To me it looks like possibly two objects emitting light and the triplet effect is unexplained or possibly diffraction? In any event, the "triplets" seem, at first, to be equidistant but the separation between them increases when they start to zoom off the screen. I'd go with UFOs.

Definitely a UFO. They are looking for you.

My guess it’s the armadillo’s eyes as the motion of the dots seems to correlate with the movement of the armadillo.

…I’m going to go with the headlights of a vehicle coming up the driveway over a little rise in the road…reflecting head lights off the house window panes…(one window with divided glass) reflecting off the camera lens as it drives by…and I believe that we are not the only ones out there…!

What's the date of the clip in question (too big for me to download)? Does it possibly correspond to the April 27th bright meteor pass over Arkansas?

I've seen similar things on my doorbell camera and another security camera in by back yard. A very fine fiber such as a spider web is drifting around right in front of the IR light and lens. I know that's what mine are because occasionally the spider shows up on the camera, tending his web.
