Unusual Light Sighted While Capturing Orion on February 25th, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

I came across an intriguing video on YouTube that showcases a mysterious object caught on camera during a long exposure shot of the night sky.<\/p>\n

The video appears to have been filmed in the United Kingdom on February 25th, 2025.<\/p>\n

YouTube Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was testing out my new iOptron Skytracker Pro, a Christmas gift that I hadn’t had the chance to use much due to the weather. Last night, I set it up and began taking 60-second exposures at 55mm. My goal was to capture long exposures that I could later stack on my computer. Unfortunately, clouds rolled in, so I decided to play around and create a timelapse. That’s when I noticed a peculiar light appearing in the sky.<\/p>\n

The light is visible across 18 shots, which indicates it took about 18 minutes to traverse that section of the sky. I’m puzzled by what could be moving so slowly\u2014if anyone has an idea, I’d love to hear it.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, it seems too sluggish to be a plane, a satellite, or even a meteorite.<\/p>\n
