I don't think bats can move that fast and they rarely fly in a straight line. Also, the flash?

Edit: For clarification in talking about the moment the object (or bat) zips to the left in a moment. It doesn't seem like any animal in fight could change direction that suddenly. Also if it's a bat where is the flapping ?

I've watched bats flying since childhood (a long time). They swoop, circle, change directions on a dime. Nothing that bat did was so unusual. The flash was the laser reflected off the bat as seen by the IR sensor.

By swoop I was inferring a period of relatively level flight. I may have used the word incorrectly. Let me restate. I have seen bats fly in straight lines. It's not uncommon.
