How I solved this

Googled guys name,
Linked in profile indicates job at Hackettstown Medical Center, New Jersey
Google maps, drive around parking lot to find post
Look around spot object in cables
Go for a closer look, pattern matches

took <10 mins

good job!

yet another one of these cases where a daylight picture of the same scene would immediately solve it
 
Saw this one on Reddit this morning (2 hours ago, UK based). You'd solve it before I even saw it. Kudos, folks. Glad to see it pop up and be dismissed so promptly.

shame this drone flap is making everything pop it's head above the parapet, though. Everyone wants in on the next big thing, but as Massive Attack wrote in one of their lyrics: its a storm in a B-cup. [citation needed]
 
The original tweet was deleted but here is the video downloaded from twitter.
 
I'm guessing the X is made up of a retro-reflector material. Light around the camera is reflected back to camera. The original source of the light is the streetlights and other electric lights. It's reflected by the pavement, the person holding the camera, etc.

The rest of the ball is made up of ordinary material and reflects light diffusely. There's a contrast. Thus the ghostly glow of the X.
