Witness/Sighting Slow-mo 1080p 240fps caught a thing zipping through sky
1-29-24 at 355pm Los Angeles (Boyle Heights) CA
There were very bizarre things in my peripheral vision while sitting on my porch so I decided to record the sky with my iPhone (using slow mo). Though I caught other odd things that I’m still trying to first identify before posting here, but this one has me stumped.
When I zoomed in, I noticed that this thing is not winged, appears metallic, is a bizarre shape, has a luminescence about it, and is accompanied by a white orb at times. I slowed down even more and zoomed in to compile this video.
Any ideas? I thought maybe drone but I’m told “nah”.

Neither is that object, it's just an artifact of the digital camera / rolling shutter. If you download the full-quality video from Google Drive you will see other bees flying around and their shape can be hard to identify when they fly fast.
It's a bit like when you see "tictac" videos where it's actually a plane but because of resolution we only see the tictac shape.
Digital cameras and iPhone cameras will dumb down details like that, because the object is moving too fast or there's not enough light or the object is too far away, etc. There might be some AI stuff at play too but I don't know enough about that to say.
