Вчера я наблюдал за ночным небом над Кёльном, Германия, с моим пульсаром аксион 2. Много активности, думаю, в основном летучие мыши. Но потом я записал это Видео какой-то сферы прямо передо мной. В левой части кадра вы можете ясно видеть, что я думаю, это летучая мышь или птица, сфера выглядит совершенно по-другому. Без тепловизора не было видно, шума я не слышал. Есть идеи, что это может быть?
Sphere over my garden, only visible with thermal sight

This must be a joke
Looks like either a reflection of the IR light in a water droplet
Is that a troll?
Out of focus, dim, possibly infrared light being reflected back from your camera. Maybe a reflector or IR camera on a neighbor’s property?
well this is some shit if i’ve ever seen it
Satellite in high light pollution area?
Submission statement: I was watching the night sky yesterday over Cologne, germany with my pulsar axion 2. A lot of activity, mostly bats i think. But then i recorded this Video of some kind of sphere right in front of me. On the left side of the footage you can clearly See what i think is a bat or bird, the sphere looks totally different. It was not visible without the thermal device, I heared no noise. Any ideas what this could be?
Have you seen tether video captured by nasa in 90’s?

FLIR type images are of great interest to me because there is a huge amount of unknown objects that are only visible through their heat signatures. With a normal camera or telescope, these objects are totally invisible, look in the same area with a thermal imager, and they become visible.
The problem is that a true thermal imager is expensive, and there are many fakes sold as thermal when they are simple low light imagers. Be careful when shopping for these types of devices. The king of the hill brand is FLIR, the word originally meant Forward Looking Infra Red, but it is now a copyrighted brand name that can’t be used by other companies, they make military hardware versions that cannot be purchased outside of the United States because of technology transfer restrictions.
Some units that are over $3000 are very low resolution, but that isn’t as important as being able to image things in the heat range. A quality FLIR unit is probably the best choice for spotting normally hidden objects in the night sky.
