Now that you mention it, it does. It's tracking so straight and smooth and at such a consistent speed. maybe it's something on the external cover of whatever surveillance camera they're using to observe.
It is weird that it seems to be changing temperature from ambient to the 98ish that humans are. It certainly looks like thermal imagining set to black-hot the way the people walking around look.
It moves exactly at the same speed in the same direction as the camera, it does not increase or decrease in size at all, meaning it is either moving perfectly parallel to the camera or it's on the camera...
It's on the camera. The reason nobody walking around cares is because nobody walking around can see it because it's on the lens. Somebody would look at a plastic bag fly by, nobody would look at the nothing that doesn't exist.
The "temperature shifting" is likely a visual artifact of it being a thin film physically on the glass. A grey object on a light background may look black, while that same object may appear white on a dark background.
The "chandelier" one is just lens flare or the sun on a thermal camera. They just look like that sometimes, the glare makes a funky little pattern. It even has the "burn" trail behind it which is a classic artifact for literally exactly that: blowing out your sensor with the sun.
Truly buckwild that we're still doing this "bug on lens must be a ghost or alien" shit. Truly depressing how credulous people are that they'll entirely ignore hundreds of easier explanations and just jump to the supernatural.
The "temperature shifting" might also be the result of changing background temperature, as many thermal cameras constantly change the black/white points based on the average and peaks of the image.
You might say it's almost as possible as some kind of alien technology that looks like a fucking jellyfish that doesn't move whatsoever while moving across the landscape.
Yeah dude every single imaginable idea is equally possible. Like maybe someday .ee will be a good instance filled with users that engage in good faith.
Somehow I think that's even less plausible than the alien jellyfish.
Yeah. I get in to it sometimes with people about aliens bc I'm open to the idea that aliens may have visited the solar system, but people get upset when I maintain the line that even if a probe did arrive here it probably wouldn't have much amazing magical super-science going for it. Just really, really sturdy computers and solar cells. Which would be cool, but it's hardly the magical anti-gravity and what-not people want to believe in, physics be damned.
That said, I'm still pretty confident that interstellar travel doesn't happen much bc there's just no reason to do it and the logistical challenge is enormous. You have to throw something at another star system very precisely, it has to survive decades or centuries or longer in the deep black with no power what-so-ever. It has to successfully wake up on arrival to the new star system after all those years in deep space getting bombarded with gamma radiation. And then it needs to generate enough energy to send some kind of signal back home, which would take years or longer to arrive, and someone would have to still be listening after all that time.
Isn't there some vacuum evaporation thing in vacuum where even metals and other solids evaporate very slowly? idk. There are so many massive logistical and materials science and engineering challenges that would need to be overcome just so you could get a little telemetry about a star that would be incredibly expensive if not impossible to send real infrastructure too, most of which you could get with deep space satellites. Sometimes people god-of-the-gaps at me about "oh maybe there's a magical power source we haven't discovered" or whatever, but there's no point arguing about that bc at that point it's just fantasy.

Also definitely possible!
