DebDandelion Posted September 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hello there. I watched your vid. What makes you think that it is not a bird of prey dropping something? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimalists Posted September 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Looks more like a possible drone....But then again the vid is over a year old so make of it what you will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could well be a drone the army some times all over the Pentland hills so can not rule it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it certainly wouldn't be too unusual for the army. Apparently they are also known for dropping all sorts of things from drones..including eggs...for practise purposes I guess.

No reason to have made this into a video. The original photo would have been better. The 16 seconds of video could have been read in 2 seconds. It looks like a bird of prey carrying something. I've seen plenty of bald eagles carrying snakes or eels with a similar look. Then again I was looking through binoculars and not at a photograph. UFO? Only in the sense that the object cannot be identified because the image is of such poor quality. Is this worth discussing? Not really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to expect a bird to appear in more than one photo. Birds do not travel in predictable paths. I watch birds all of the time. I am outdoors with predatory birds almost every day. Bird is the likely object in the photo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again dead wrong. For all you know the bird was riding a thermal. For all you know the bird was captured in a turn. For all you know the bird was closer and smaller and carrying an insect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shiny bit on the left says it is something that's metal (from where the sun reflects off of it) which indicates that its more likely to be a drone in my opinion. Sure, it's a bit blurry...(taken from the OP's avy pic) the two ball images falling from it might be balloons ? Edited September 3, 2018 by Astra.

taniwha Posted September 3, 2018 #21 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It looks to me like a bird of prey clutching an millitary drone in its talons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv'e heard of birds attacking certain sized drones...but I simply fail to see any bird that is involved in this particular image. Also, unless a bird of prey was actually trained to bring a drone down...(which of course could also be dangerous to the bird) I doubt that a drone would be very high on a birds menu for choice of food. ..

stereologist Posted September 3, 2018 #23 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Remember that birds can be territorial. How often do we see smaller birds attacking a bird of prey. I've seen balloons attacked by birds.A common sight for me is to see ospreys attacking bald eagles including talon contact on the eagle. Interesting to me is that we all assume it is a small object that is nearby. Would a drone have been heard at that distance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it would be interesting to know what type of birds do actually inhabit the region where the OP took the image(s). I guess all we really have at this stage is speculation as to what the image may possibly be. All I can say (from my own perspective) is that I simply can't see a bird. I could indeed be wrong though. Seems this one might be a true mystery thus far...unless some clever person can work with the image by maybe sharpening the focus better ? As far as hearing a drone from that distance ?...that depends on how far away it is. The few drones that Iv'e seen in my seaside area have come in different shapes and sizes. The closer they come, naturally one is able to hear it buzzing about...they also make different buzzing noises...depending what type of drone it is. Some are also very, very quiet...even if it's hovering only metres above your head. Edited September 3, 2018 by Astra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
