Amateur astronomer from North Carolina, located in the Eastern United States, photographed interesting yellow UFO, divided into two parts.

Watching over the last few months for night sky and star movement, he seized many objects that could be identified as UFOs. In addition, the bright objects that show up around 8 PM on March 24, 2017, was very unusual.

"With the help of various sites that allow you to track satellites, I knew exactly where every one of them. But this time, I saw clearly not satellites because these objects probably were within the limits of the atmosphere", - the eyewitness wrote in his report on world UFO network (MUFON).

A resident of North Carolina applied to report a series of photographs, in which above the edge of the trees seen flying at great speed an object that looked like the trail of a meteorite, only bright yellow. The observer suggested that this UFO has it's own light source.

Astronomer regrets he cannot send MUFON in all 27 photos, which shows how a few seconds, the object is divided into two parts, each of them is then moved along its trajectory.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Beetles and other insects

Flying insects in photos and videos can be mistaken for UFOs.

Shooting can take place in the daytime or in the evening. When moving, the outlines of the insect can be both blurred and clear. Depending on this, dark spots or spots of bizarre shapes can be taken for UFOs. The video shows UFOs hovering in the sky, flying in a straight line or moving along a complex trajectory (for example, shooting May bugs near a tree against the background of the evening sky). Insects can be mistaken for UFOs by accident, or given out intentionally. At night, they can be highlighted by a flash.

Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure

Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

The object has a strange shape. Most likely, it is something that is captured in motion. We can assume that, for example, fireflies, close to the camera or something like that. Form, resulting in the photos, matches the shape produced when shooting fireflies in motion. The light is also similar (the characteristic hue of the fireflies North Carolina).
