This isn't an 'It Happened To Me' but an 'It Happened To Her'...
I spent Christmas day with my sister and, as she knows I am a fan of the paranormal she showed me a video recorded on the Ring CCTV camera at her house. The camera recorded the clip automatically because it detected motion. She saved it because she was mystified and I got her to send it to me so I could share it here:
(it's too big to attach to this post so I've had to upload it as an unlisted video on Youtube)
The original clip shows a well defined rectangular beam of light moving along the garden steps like it's being shone from above then a very bright light comes into view in the sky in the right hand corner of the image, moving diagonally from left to right. I've also slowed it down in Windows Video Editor so you can see the beam moving across the step more clearly.
Without doxxing her, the house is located in quite a remote bit of countryside in the north of Scotland. It was empty at the time so there were no first hand witnesses.
When I watched the video at first I thought it might have be a helicopter but there's no sound - you can just about hear the sleet falling - and it would have to be flying low in poor weather to show up in the camera's field of vision. I also thought of a drone (I have a DJI Mavic drone myself, which has a user-switchable bright white LED light underneath) but it's definitely not drone flying weather and it's a pretty isolated location, so I don't know why someone would be flying a drone out there at 6am in the dark. It's hard to tell if the light is close or far away but my instinct is it must be pretty low to project such a tightly defined shape on the ground.
To give a bit of context I've also attached a screenshot from Google Streetview showing the house with the camera circled.
Any ideas or thoughts would be most welcome!
