    I need help identifying this

    https://ring.com/share/d135f296-4fa6...7-1d7dd69f7517

    Hopefully the link works.

    My neighbor posted this on the next door app. At first I thought it was a Crane Fly, but it's too symmetrical. Any ideas?

    My guess is a reflection internal to the camera lens.

    I don’t believe that’s anything to do with the camera itself.
    It reminds me of the “rods” phenomenon on photos and video that has been more or less proven to be caused by flying insects. Although this moves differently I could buy that this is an insect, with the legs and wings not being visible and the light reflecting off the body. It is actually triggering some kind of half formed memory of some odd insect that can look like this in flight but the recollection is very fuzzy. I can’t quite jog my brain.

    Light entering the lens at a sharp angle can be reflected by the lens elements which may account for the segmented appearance. The source of the light may be outside the the angle of view of the photo sensor in the camera.

    Makes sense. Could be a double porch light

    Possessed MCHammer pants made me LOL!

    I actually remember this from a tv show not to long ago, there's another video of these things as well caught by a game camera.
