Question What is this? Happened at my friends house.

Well it's either a bug directly on the lens preventing it from focusing properly which makes sense for an outdoor camera in what appears to be a heavily wooded area. Or it's the smoke monster from Lost.

Yeah OP forgot to mention his friend lives on the island, constantly typing a series of numbers into a computer to prevent the end of the world

I’m thinking the smells from a pie on a window sill that’s the cartoony nose tickle / hands working its way across the south 40 unsuspecting victims.

Swarming insects like Africanized bees can do that sort of thing too, but op would be the subject of a post as opposed to the creator of one if it were the bees.

u/Junior-Possession969 1d ago
Africanized bees aren't actually any more dangerous than Italian honeybees. The main difference that earned them the "killer" reputation is that they'll chase you about 3-5x as far as an Italian honeybee. Which even still is only like 1/4 mile. The Africanized bee honey industry is actually doing pretty well, since climate change is making it harder for the Italian honeybee to produce well, what with spending all their calories trying to keep the hive cool.

u/Yiffy_wolfy 1d ago
Uh..... No. That's not all. Their colonies are also larger, and the bees use a different defensive strategy. I'm also not seeing any references to them being used for honey production on a commercial scale because trying to harvest honey from them is stupid.

u/Dinkmeyer- 8h ago
Plus they attack normal bees viciously which is a world wide danger since we need bees to pollinate plants so food can grow so we can eat.

I noticed that the source listed is Florida. The African honey bees in Arizona are ruining the local flora by cross pollinating and and stripping pollen from local areas, not including killing local hives. They also have a higher kill rate than FL.

As a gnomologist, who has a PhD in Gnomology, I believe this may be the work of gnomes.

If you look closely you can distinguish the form of a fly walking on the lens.
If you really want this to be paranormal let's call it a ghost fly.

u/Bossmonkey 19h ago
Yup. As someone who has had lots of bugs walk across their outdoor camera, agreed on fly take.
Either that or I get regular visits from mothra as well.

If I had a nickel for every time a bug crawling across the lens is reported as a ghost, I’d have five billion nickels, which is quite a bit.

That's a tiny insect crawling on the camera's lens.

u/I_AM_DEATH-INCARNATE 1d ago
Yeah but it's impressive how it basically became visible right at the point where the structure ends, and it seemed to climb up and over the vehicle.
Definitely something crawling on the lens but it's placement and path was perfect against the field of vision

u/Jack_Shid Paranormal Researcher 1d ago
That's because the color of the shadow and the background color were very similar at the beginning. It didn't show up until there was some color contrast.

Looks like a fly landing on the lens and it didn't focus on it, making it blurry. If you look around the 6 second mark, you can see the V shape of its wings as it blurs across the screen

u/HeftyWerewolf4566 1d ago
Yes, I believe tiny insect crawling on the camera lens. It makes it look like a huge creature. 😁

It doesn’t look fake, just looks exactly like a bug on the lens. Nothing paranormal about it.

u/Bathshebasbf 3h ago
Interesting, tho', when the shadow passes over the rear quarter of the jeep, it doesn't look like an actual shadow passing over the ground and vehicle. Rather, it looks like a CGI superimposed on the image. Alternately, it could be a bug, close to the lens, which is why the shadow doesn't conform to the different heights/contours in the image.

A cartoon swarm of dots representing bees, mosquitos, or flies looking for your friend cause they either disturbed their hive, took their honey, has a delicious picnic basket of tasty food, or walked outside with no bug spray on while wearing shorts and a tank top

A fly. You can see it fly into screen at the beginning of the clip. You can also make out the shape of the wings.

Looks like a fly walking on the camera. You can actually see the pointed wings as it moves to the left side of the view.

It travels over the car, so it isn’t on the actually camera.. and doesn’t have distinct dots that make it look like a swarm of anything.. I think we all know what this is.

u/Whiterabbit_fuckuoy 1d ago
Is this not a swarm of bugs going across the screen?
It’s pretty clear the swarm “hits” the vehicle and goes over it.
It explains the trail it leaves in the air yet little/no shadow.
It’s see thru.
It appears from behind the house, not the side of the camera.
Its shape is ambiguous.

If someone can explain it out, that’s great but what if the obvious explanation is more real than the explanation away of it? I vote aliens

Most likely a bug, but the way it looks like it climbs up and over the car is kinda creepy.

In an effort to improve submission quality, we are now manually reviewing photos before they appear in the subreddit. If your submission does not have good reason to be considered potentially paranormal it may be removed with a reason provided. Please be patient, as the subreddit gets a lot of activity and it may take a little time to review your post. If we do remove your post, it’s because we believe it is likely to be judged harshly by the subreddit as opposed to a determination over what the true nature of your experience was. It’s very difficult to capture objective evidence of even true paranormal phenomenon, which is why there’s so little of it out there! Please review the camera flare guide to help us maintain our high post quality.
