I'm a private pilot as well as a model heli flyer based in the UK.
As I spend a lot of time one way or another looking at the sky, a buddy of mine sent me this photo for identification. He claims it was hovering at about 100 feet. I can't identify it, anybody got any ideas?
Thanks
Yep !
There are two flying things in your pic........ a bird-like shaped thing near the street lamp, ( That one, i dont have a clue about what it is) ... and another object, smaller and higher in the sky and have a "+" shape.
If it was hoovering..... it could be a Quadcopter. It's heli-like flying without all the complicated mecanicals........only 4 brushless motors with 4 propellers on it, and it flies great. The onboard electronics is taking care of stability.
I have a UAVP ( Universal Aerial Video Platform ) and a MK ( MikroKopter)...... both with photo-video capabilities and GPS / position-hold / return-to-launch.
Sorry ! NO Ufo there.
Go see my blog, there are aerial photos at

Cheers.
