A purple thing

The past Fall, a purple ethereal object hovered at the edge of my property and hung out there for a pretty little while.

The video of this object in the youtube link below, makes it seem like it is a purple bird perched on the fence. It is not a bird and it was not tangible. It was a ball of purple light in the middle of the day. It looks like it has a white or silver tip.

If you have thoughts about what the purple light is, I look forward to hearing them.

That's a video compression artifact, no doubt...

If you read above, the whole neighborhood saw it, so not a vid artifact.

I think what is seen in the video is a compression artifact.

There is no way to evaluate what other people seeing that is not recorded, but the story also says when they got closer to it there was nothing there, so the whole neighborhood wasn't really seeing anything consistently observable, so I don't think you can place much weight on what the whole neighborhood saw when it's that unreliable and inconsistent, especially when we have a video.

If other people in the neighborhood saw it, did they make videos too? With different camera types? If so it would be nice to see some objective evidence like the videos the neighbors made with different cameras.

Haha, thank you. I have received a lot of bashing for the camera holding.
I had a toddler on my hip and people running behind me trying to see. I cut out a portion of the video that does not have faces of my family or something that could identify me. That's the reason you see only a short shaky snippet.

Anyway, I may never know and that's alright. I just figured I'd share.

Edit to add: If I had known a year ago I was going to post this video for the ATS analysts, I probably would have taken a video-specific for this audience with no sound etc. In my home video, I close up to the object on camera after walking down the steps and once I reach the end of the steps the object is not visible anymore. I am going to see if I can post another video.
