Weird Videos Inside BAB

I installed some security cameras a little over a month ago. Just a simple wireless recorder with two wireless cameras for now. (I plan to get a higher-end system eventually.) I installed each camera inside the building, pointing at the entrances/exits to BAB. The system is set to only record when there’s motion or a scene change, making it easier to sort through potentially hours of video clips for anything important. Generally the clips are about 15 seconds long – because the recorder continues recording for about 12 seconds after the last motion detected. The cameras have infrared to assist in low-light situations, so some clips may look black & white.

So I downloaded a few days’ worth of clips. Most were just Sue & I coming & going, and there were some contractors working on the roof too. But then I started noticing some strange recordings.

Here’s the first one with an odd white thing moving across the screen – pay attention in the first 3 seconds. Pause & rewind as needed.

A simple anomaly at first. Sue & I looked at it and went “Huh… that’s odd.”

Then I found a few more with different oddities. The next one has streaking white bits moving across the screen.

And then more & more, with different floaty things moving in different directions. The next four have a variety of mysterious flying & streaking things. The first in this group looks like it’s raining white stuff. The last in this group has what looks like a swarm of flying white specks. (If you’re bored quickly, feel free to skip these – but scroll down to “BUT NOW FOR SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING…”

So I have some ideas what those videos are; I’ll have to do some testing to confirm.

BUT NOW FOR SOMETHING REALLY INTERESTING…

Check out this next video – you’ll see me entering our front door around 10:00pm, after a softball game. Keep your eye on a little white dot near the center of the screen.

Definitely weird, huh? So then, about 35 minutes later, THIS footage is recorded; watch the top of the screen at 3-4 seconds in:

And THEN things get amped up. Two hours later, in the middle of the night, the system sensed movement/scene change and recorded another 15-second clip. Watch, about 3 seconds in, a large ball of light comes from the upper right corner of the video and moves to the center of the screen.

What th’ hell???

And finally, in a non-climactic finish, 12 minutes later, the “ball of light” is recorded making its exit to the top of the screen.

The jury is still out on what these are, but we have certainly been looking “up” a lot more as we go through the front door.
