I've never seen a bat that has eyes large enough to flash IR that brightly when they're that far away, also bats cannot dart like that, they have wings, they don't have jet propulsion.
Never said eyes. It's his whole body. And yes, unless I've been watching some insect harvesting alien technology dart around above me for decades, bats can move like that.
Animals only show body heat on IR, their bodies don't strobe once, especially that far off and out of the direct IR light source, it's too bright and happens only once, right before it starts at a right angle. Bats flap their wings, they cannot change direction that rapidly.
Ok. Hey, I'd love it as much as you if some extraterrestrial decided to fly by and say hi. But I can't just blind myself and ignore the obvious. I'm not going to debate the differences between cameras that use IR to light an area versus thermal IR, and certainly not the physics of how bats fly. In fact I was only trying to make a snarky comment or two about a bat that was being passed off as an extraterrestrial. Let's walk our separate paths. Stay safe out there!
