A rough fit for the object suggests it's a small windblown thing. https://www.metabunk.org/sitrec/?custom=1/PR39%20Farsi%20Island/20260512_101130.js

But the footage is IR right? So the "color information" in the video has nothing to do with the light of any hypothetical laser.

True, but it's about relativity. White sand has high albedo. On IR sand would show up as cooler than surroundings. If you think white sand gets hot try walking in the black volcanic sand. I could be wrong on my beach theory, the logic is sound...

Apparently you've never been to the beach on a sunny day. Quartz sand, such as is found all over the Middle Eastern countries, gets blazing hot underfoot and can easily burn your feet. Gypsum sand, such as White Sands, New Mexico, is also hot at...

This is not a great video... https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006089/dow-uap-pr39-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2020 ... however I think it is Farsi Island: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farsi_Island Google Maps 27°59'35.0"N 50°10'21.0"E

Daytime makes the use of illumination flares less likely. But flares are used as IR decoys by military aircraft and naval vessels as and when the need arises. Signal/ distress flares, sometimes deploying a parachute, can be used during daylight...

Status update on Vasco60 work: I've spent some time building a controlled "surgical" test harness to compare individual MNRAS candidate coordinates against SExtractor/PSFEx outputs on the same tile centres, including parity logic such as the...

What immediately stands out to you with videos like this? Trying to arm myself!

What is your evidence that these two images were captured from the same platform? Different platforms won't match, as artefacts like diffraction spikes and lens flares are intimately related to the geometry of the optics.

A parachuting flare is a proposed hypothesis that fits the visuals at first glance; however, it may be a good example of dynamic pareidolia, instead of "nonsense", or a reason for embarrassment. Other hypotheses are that the "parachute" might...

Shadows suggest a late afternoon time for the video (assuming the date of 01 Jan 2020 is correct) https://shademap.app/@27.99329,50.17347,16.19437z,1767185728077t,0b,0p,0m,qZmFyc2kgaXNsYW5k!51.0264!-0.95165 ~1630UTC
