Certainly not a video scam from me, right-off the trail cam. There is shape=
to it, just pause the video and catch it at near the apex. In terms of my =
video editing capabilities, heck it took me weeks to figure out how to get =
it on Twitter (cost free, that is, I was sharing 92Mb through Google before=
). That's why it was so striking. So UFO it is until we know more but I hav=
en't seen a repeat.

Agreed. But it=92s not the obvious LED pointer trail that cats love, thoug=

very rapidly in an un-animal-like manner, so it does appear to be human-mad=

Fascinating that it is bouncing and in January. Any ideas are appreciated.
The video is available on Twitter, using the link. You don't have to be sub=
scriber to Twitter to see it.
