Hi I have found a YT video in which there is an object recorded on infra red camera. It makes very strange maneouver. Is there any explanation what this could be? Thank you ( I have edited video so it shows only interesting moment).

With exactly zero contextual information it could be literally anything that emits light, taken from anywhere, by anything. So I'm going to say it is a lighthouse, videotaped from the deck of a ship. If you can provide more information we may be able to do better with an ID, but otherwise we'll have to lock the thread as having no purpose but idle speculation.

Didn't find any more info but the explanation with rotated camera is fair enough. Thread can be closed.
