It appears to look a bit "tilted to the side" (but not much) at the end of the video.
It could be because of a derotation system similar to other FLIR pods?
Unless of course it's fake, or CGI, but I have no way to tell.

I'm referring to this in my previous post.
This really looks like a "physical" object at first glance, not implying at all it is.
But still, weird camera artifact, if so.

Sorry, didn't see your post! I went by "Skepticide" (sorry, folks!), and later went with my name, but because of some political beliefs I moved on. Great folks there, though! And they keep the old articles.Just posted my main experience there. What is your nickname there?
I will try and keep a look for posts you might make there. If you have had other experiences, let me know or send me a link when you post them.
There's a couple of things that I posted there that I noticed in old photos, I think you would find very interesting.

There's a second, smaller "dot" in the sky, and the camera pans between the "star" and the smaller dot before returning again. I have no experience with military-grade drones, but to me it looks like nothing more than two friendly drones, with the pilot trying to maintain formation. Or sure, it could be two balloons or aerostats, but I don't see anything anomalous. And obviously it could be a pure hoax too.
And honestly, what does it really say on the screen? There's an indication saying "Low battery" and two symbols showing empty batteries. Someone doesn't seem very interested in getting his drone back home…
And at the end of the video, we get some weird screen that looks like something from a video game, summarizing the "mission."

Just musing, but there might be situations where maintaining "eyes on" is more important than a drone being able to return.

Yeah, that's nothing unusual, especially not in war zones. But since he wasn't very interested in the "star" despite the batteries being about to run out, it's fair to assume the "star" wasn't very interesting.

I agree, but the camera artifact appears to have "shadows", unless it's an optical illusion of said artifact. Or fake altogether for what I know.

Is it possible that this thing is actually on the ground?
Can anyone tell, from the data presented in the video, how far the camera is rotating from beginning to the furthest right position?
The level of detail, the sharpness and level of contrast in the "object" does not match the rest of the video image.
Suggesting to me that it is much closer to the lens than anything else in the video.
If the camera is slewing 180 degrees, then that white dot at the furthest right end of the slew might be a reflection, in a camera dome, of the object at the beginning of the video.
Again, look at the level of detail in the six pointed stars prongs, and the sharpness of the central white donut, they are much different from all of the rest of the view. This is not the view of things that are all far away from the camera, that star might be inches away.

Does look close, if it's an object, like 10' away or something.

This area looks very much like a main support structure standing on the ground, and the hexagram object is very close to the lens and quite low. Furthermore, is the camera height actually just at the level of someone holding it? Did the person filming eventually place the drone on the ground, causing the lens to look up at the hexagram, which is why it ultimately appears as if the hexagram is lifting its head? If this hypothesis holds true, then two points of the hexagram are placed level with the horizon; if the person filming stands on the ground holding the drone and moves horizontally, would the drone's horizon line briefly align with the hexagram's horizontal line as a result?
The above is merely speculation based on appearances; the possibility of CGI or AI still cannot be ruled out
As for the motive, it is highly likely that they are chasing clout by capitalizing on the hype surrounding the Department of War's declassification of UAP files. Some argue that an official releasing such a video wouldn't lie, but that isn't necessarily true. Furthermore, Sergey mentioned that someone else sent it to him, so who can guarantee that the original person who filmed it wasn't playing a prank?

This might be the location, 48°17'40.0"N 37°23'03.0"E looking due south.
There's not a lot of pixels but to me the start and pan down sorta looks like the fields and town. The general water shape seems good. The darker lines leading off the body of water line up pretty good with the vegetation and roads.
This is also around the area of Ukraine's May 2025 offensive. Could be way off, turns out there are way way more decent sized bodies of water in Ukraine than I had ever imagined.
Though I'd assume vegetation would be warmer than surrounding ground yea, so it'd imply it's black hot. Bit weird if so

Wow, great find. That is the exact spot. It shows that my suggestion in post #15 that we might be seeing the tail-booms of a drone is complete rubbish. The lines are just fields and hedges.

I thought about it, what could it be?
I was thinking of maybe a source heat (since the weird "steam" / "exhaust" effect behind the object.
So we got the artifact from heat (glare?) of something like a structure on the ground.
The second frame I posted before however shows a difference in perspective relative to the object, you can see it's more "round" in the first frame, but more "oval" in the second one.
That change seems to reflect some kind of depth or solidity.
What phenomenon would cause such illusion? If it were in fact glare.
Just another observation with this, we can see that the size of the lake in the video gets bigger between the 0m11s and 1m20s time codes of the video, and therefore we can deduce that the drone is loosing altitude. However the position of the 'thing' is still in the same relative position in the camera FOV (close to the horizon) and is the same size throughout the video. This means that either the 'thing' was tracking and following the descent of the drone, or it is in some way attached to the drone. (Or I suppose it could be massive and far away.)
Size of the lake increases:
Thing stays consistently sized, although there is a change in orientaion.

Yeah, the Change in orientation is weird if it's an artifact.
If it's attached to the drone, what could it be?
