There are a lot theories flying around
on what those anomalies could be. Many say it's birds, others say it's bugs while others say it's something else (UFO, drone, etc). The camera is approximately 4 kilometers from the rocket while using a special lens to have such a clear view of the site. That being said, I believe knowing whether the object flying across the top of the screen right before the explosion is in front of the towers or behind the towers can give us an idea of what object could or could not be. If it's flying in front of the towers then all bets are off and could be anything (bird, bug, etc). If it's behind the towers then that makes it a very interesting object given the distance it's traveling in the amount of time lapsed.
So, is the object in front or behind the towers and rocket?
Here's what I've found so far...
In the slow motion video I posted above, it gives you a pretty good look at the object but it's still difficult to determine whether the object actually passes behind or in front of the towers. I've only found one frame that could possibly answer that question.
As the object travels from right to left, we can see it close to the first tower but never get a frame that actually shows it on or behind the tower. Below is a zoomed in image of the object just past the first tower.
The same thing happens with the second tower, the object is either to the left or right of the tower.
Now here is where things get interesting regarding the object. As the object just passes the top of the rocket, the explosion has started. If you look at the image below it seems that the object is reflecting the light from the explosion. If that's the case then the object would have to be behind the rocket for us to see the reflection of light.
Another interesting part is that the object seems to look metallic in the zoomed in image.
Ok, now for the third tower on the left. This is where I believe the best frame to possibly see if the object is in front or behind occurs. On the left corner of the tower is where the object is in the frame.
To me it seems like the object is behind the tower. What do you guys think?
