ROME - An Italian researcher recorded footage of the asteroid 2009 DD 45 that recently passed by, and discovered a UFO near it!

The asteroid made a very close pass by the Earth, at only 40,000 miles. After reviewing video of the rock, some scientists noticed an object that must move in order to avoid collision. What is it? Skeptics are speculating that it could be just a bug on the telescope, but what are the odds of it moving at that exact moment?

Neither; it's a hot pixel. The telescope is gradually drifting due to guiding errors, but to make the time lapse animation the individual exposures are re-aligned so that the stars appear to stay frozen. The hot pixel, which is actually frozen in one place on the chip, then seems to move - it's tracing out the direction the telescope moved during the imaging session. I have the same type of telescope and get the same effect when I do time lapse videos.
