Shape: Star-like | Duration: 00:02:00
Source:

I an experienced astrophotographer. i have imaged satellites, night rocket launches, meteors etc. last night i took 3 images within two minutes straight after the other with a fish eye lens from very dark skies. upon studying the results i noticed a bizarre sequence that is on all three pictures. the first shows a blurred 'star that is releasing a 'tether' like strand. the second picture shows it unfolded, plus more similar events across the sky, and a line trace of a strange orange coloured object. the third shows two strong 'strands' established across the picture. if all three pictures are played in sequence, a kind of animation is seen of the event. the aircraft is running across the top as a form of time sequence proof. other pictures i took that same night included regular observed satellites, and aircraft etc. no such similar events were recorded, so there is nothing wrong with my camera or technique i was using. the camera was on a tripod with cable release on 30 second exposures for the stars. my wife was with me at the time. i have been imaging the night sky for 40 years and have never recorded anything like it.
