A cloudy night in Ohio didn’t bring the planets in very well, but wanted to share anyway as the weather is about to turn sour for multiple days. At 3:29 I inserted footage of a slowly moving odd lit object from Thursday night’s capture, Oct 8th 2020. Sadly I had missed focus which was a bummer. The slow moving lit blob was definitely NOT the ISS (it was way below the horizon on the other side of the earth) or a satellite. This object didn’t behave like an airplane. A guess would be a helicopter, but there was no engine or blade sounds captured even with the audio cranked up from all 3 mics/audio devices. So, I don’t know -- I'll call it an Unknown Blob :)
