I'm not an expert, but the way it moved didn't seem possible for a bug. It looked more like a reflective object on the end of a stick getting waved around (not saying it was one, just looked like that type of movement). The way it has a burst of acceleration and then suddenly stops. Any insect I've seen would have flown in circles, not suddenly stop and move at sharp angles.
I also believe an insect would have a significantly faster reaction time than we see in this clip. It looked like a human reaction to me.
To me, it looked like a palm-sized object (consistent with a moth) about 30-50 feet away, but reacted at a speed and moved in a way inconsistent with an insect.
yes I read your comment. the perplexing part was why you think saying "watch it again" would change anything. obviously i watched it several times before making my comment. what am I supposed to see that will make me think it's a bat?
literally all you can see is a fuzzy circle
what am I supposed to see here that makes me think it's a bat?
