This video demonstrates an objection to the camera-motion hypothesis posited by Marik von Rennenkampff, on X.
He notes that the camera-relative trajectory of the object changes and suggests that this implies it is independent of the camera...
@Curiousfi could it have been a rectangular contrail? (short for condensation trail)

This 2014 Metabunk thread by @Mick West discusses a news article about a rectangular contrail spotted in...
This thread by @Adriaan is reminiscent of another recent thread by @nightsky74. Both are photos of angularly small objects, not noticed at the time. Object resolution is too low to positively identify. Such an object may range from large and...
Instances of "I didn't see it at the time, only when I looked at the pictures later" pop up regularly.
I think the issue is usually that the photographers eyes were focused on something very far away. So the insect quickly passing by, only feet...
