Right, I've got something that's been bothering me for weeks. Shot this thermal footage on my FLIR One Pro (cost me £280 last year, so it's decent kit) on the evening of the summer solstice, 20th June, around 22:15 near Glenfinnan in the Scottish Highlands. Weather was clear, visibility excellent, temperature about 8°C.
I was out doing some amateur astronomy when I picked up something on the thermal camera that wasn't on my naked eye observation. There's a perfectly rectangular heat signature moving horizontally across the frame for about 40 seconds, then it just... ceases. No gradual fade-out, just gone. The object isn't giving off enough heat to be an aircraft (I know what those look like), and it's definitely not a balloon or drone.
Thermal signature dimensions appear to be approximately 30-40 metres in length
Has anyone else got experience with FLIR analysis? Would appreciate some expert input before I post this anywhere else. Cheers.
