" Yes, BUT remember the videographer also mentioned he didn't notice the object until he was screening the video."

Good point. I remember that, too.

Sheesh...I think I'll sit back and read the thread.

G'nite, y'all!

I was bothered by this...
He wouldn't see it if it was moving at a high rate of speed, was at a high altitude, and if his focus was elsewhere.

I forgot something else. I'd really like to know what kind of camera the videographer was using, whether or not there was moving traffic close by, and if he was panning.

Rule OUT the ISS. Here's a picture through a telephoto lens or telescope at high magnification.

It would not appear as it does in the video, especially during daylight. And while I can't confirm (I can't find the tracking site I used to use for iridiums and ISS) I don't think the ISS was anywhere near Albany at the time.

So, as far as I can see it's either a bug or other object very close to the camera OR possibly a reflection and distortion of a passing vehicle with daytime running lights on.

One thing I know for sure, it's NOT a missle fired at the plane. Maybe it's Calypso Louie's Mothership.
