A weird one, looked at first like some birds, but then frame-by-frame it looks like this, spinning rapidly:
Rolling shutter artifact? Object blown in the wind? Fake?
On this frame, and the previous frame, there's small white thing in the middle. The fact that this seems consistent makes me suspect a physical object like a cheap TV antenna, being blown by the wind. It's a windy day, and we see the tree behind the house swaying in the wind.
He claims he was trying to record lighting - which is something I've done myself, so not entirely implausible. If fake, it's a pretty weird choice - or maybe a clever choice, reverse psychology and all.i'm leaning toward fake, because why is he filming his roof for so long before the thing flies over? and then he loses it in the right hand window without even trying to move in or pan up?
It's certainly reminiscent of such. And odd shaped piece though. There's five "pickets" and one crossbeam, but it's got an oval shape.On seeing the pic at #2, I wondered if it was a piece of broken garden fencing.
I agree. Though to me it looks as much like some weirdness in the camera or subsequent compression/processing of the vid as evidence of tomfoolery. It also seems odd to me that somebody making a fake would pick something that looks so freakin' weird, so little like other UFO vids and just so generally suspicious. Though maybe that's the clever choice the estimable Mr. West refers to above? In any case, I'd lean towards an unknown something made to look comb-like by artifacts at some stage between lens and our screens.To me the pixels around it look funky
That MIGHT be the result of where the vid was cut for showing to the world rather then where the original camera shot ended, though.and then he loses it in the right hand window without even trying to move in or pan up?
if its curved like a serving dish, (the pickets would be closer to the same lengths. ??There's five "pickets" and one crossbeam, but it's got an oval shape.
it still doesnt cross into the right hand window. although maybe he was just holding the camera up for lightning but his eyes were over on the Television set watching QI. that could be.He claims he was trying to record lighting - which is something I've done myself,
Looks similar to the thing in the last couple of frames of one of his other videos.
I suspect with all the affiliated links that this is just a kind of revenue harvesting hustle.

I wouldn't be surprised if he either removed the background from a photo of a similar looking aerial or made the background green and then edited it into the video with a few quick rotation animations to make it harder to identify. I personally don't know how to do this myself but I know that it can be done. As for the choppiness of the video, that could probably be done by artificially reducing then increasing the frame rate.It reminded me to this type of thing
Maybe a rotating disc towed by a drone, which would explain the noise.Basically a small patterned thing thrown or launched over the house and rotating.
Agreed. The shape of the object looks to me as if it is an artifact of the camera process, in much the same way that videos show us spinning aircraft propellers that seem to be bent or even completely disjointed from the hub. I claim no expertise in photography, but if the camera is something that digitally scans the image field, I don't think anything moving faster than the scan can process would show its actual shape clearly. I remember some years ago there were still images that purported to show unexplained darting lights ...but they were taken in a tropical climate and were, I think, insects whose wing flap speed was too high to resolve a single image.I agree.

This triangular boomerang also has high UFO hoax potential:There are many types of boomerangs.
i'm not sure what value publishing what is presumably the home address of a YouTuber has for this discussion.
It provides a layout and dimensions for testing "blown by wind" and "thrown object" hypothesis.While this is impressive sleuthing i'm not sure what value publishing what is presumably the home address of a YouTuber has for this discussion.
what makes you think it didn't?since the object would be very likely to land on a neighbour's property,
That's ~15 km/h, about bicycle speed, and easily throwable.This gives the object's (horizontal) speed being about 4 m/sec.
It seems possible to me that the object is a small toy about 5 inches across that found its way to the neighbours' back yard and was thrown back over their bungalow. Something like this fishbone-shaped silicone pet toy that lost its head and tail:
