Strange Deer Feeder Photos. What are they?

The link down below will take you to a page showing strange lights that have appeared near deer feeders. These people have motion sensor cameras set up on these stands and some strange photos have appeared. They are not explained in the article and I would like to hear if anyone on the forum can come up with a plausible explanation for them. Thanks!

My best guess is that the anomaly is a portion of a spider's web. The most prominent part of this anomaly could easily be a more concentrated clump of web along a single thread, as there appear to be gossamer threads coming from either end of the thicker section. The camera is in the midst of trees, where webs would likely be found. Though the man asserts that the branches were undisturbed, he has no way of knowing this. The only branches visible in the picture are the very ends of a small portion of a tree--hardly an all-encompassing view. He also notes that the deer appears startled as the anomaly comes into view, but it would be a big stretch to assume that the deer's apparent look of surprise is due to something related to the object in question (it may very well have been another animal moving behind the camera, a bird or bat taking flight, etc.). I suspect that a branch near the camera moved with the wind or another animal's motion, and moved the web into the camera's view.

ah..

the ol' milk-bottle on a string trick hmmm?

if it's intelligent. .it's not intelligent enough to know what a camera is.

and if it's scary.. it's not scary enough to scare deer away.

Yes, it may have been covered before, but did you notice that it has been updated as of July 21st? I thought it was interesting that another person has come forward with similar photos. Sorry about repeating something, I did a brief search but I wasn't sure how to look this specific one up. I had it in my favorites and it took me 30 mins to find it! LOL

I like how the gentleman give ATS a nice plug at the end of the second video.
Nice to see our collection of experts are appreciated.

WTG ATS.

Oh sorry I didn't notice that. Well, I hope you will get more responses and bring this to a conclusion. I have no idea.

Here is one from Earthfiles today

It couldn't be a spider web. It wouldn't move if it was a web and I don't think it would have appeared on so many deer cams.....
