I'm not sure what you are doing, but it sounds like you think the MQ-9 has to travel the same distance as between windmills? If it's parallax, the drone can be going quite slow, depending on where the "pivot" point is.

I think it's actually banking the view to match the forward horizon. The bank angle seems to match the change in motion of the plane and the parallax motion. It's hard to say what it shoudl be doing without more reference footage, but this is...

It's to give the pilot visual feedback. The MQ-9 is a fixed wing aircraft, so knowing what the bank angle is is part of flying. This would apply more when looking forward. I wonder if it's selectable.

Search by title will also include tags, so sometime pulls in threads wihtout the word in the title. They get listed by date, I think, and the older one is: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/claim-1990-calvine-ufo.11574/

I think it's essentially doing an S-turn. This is what I had a couple of days ago with a dummy layout. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/PR48%20With%20Banking%20Extracted/20260511_110030.js I need to redo it for the actual layout, but I...

I don't think there's any change in zoom. What FOV are you using?

Half or less of what?

2024 Satellite image. The substation is visible as a brighter dot.

How I found it. First, I manually created a new panorama, rotating each frame so that at least 2-3 turbines were lined up in each frame, and then marked the base with a red dot, and rotated everything so the turbines were mostly vertical. This...

Found it. 36.405548, 121.250281

I'm not sure what you mean by "the open space." Could you indicate this on your diagram? Also, I think perspective is playing tricks here. It's clearly at a shallow angle (tall windmills) from many miles away (lack of parallax or size...

It seems very unlikely. The video looks far too realistic in multiple ways.

@Mick West At the moment things seem to be happy again. Thanks!

There did appear to be either a broken crawler or a DDOS slowing things down. I have mitigated this, and the server load now seems more reasonable.

There was a big CPU spike around the time you reported this. Rather a lot of traffic from Singapore I'm not sure why, or if this is causing the issues you see.
