"Burning Sword" UFO

[Stuart]

I'm not sure what to call this, though the uploader has described it as a "burning sword craft", which I suppose is as as close as one could get to describing this thing!

It is quite bizarre:

looks like a burning tree on the edge of a hill... no?

Hmm it didn't seem to be 'on fire', from the video it looked like the flames were rather stationary. Typically flames flicker, dance, move about as the fire burns, I didn't see any pattern in the video that made me think I was looking at fire.

To me, it looked like a tear in space. It didn't seem to move at all.

when the flames are gone, the wood turns into red, excited by wind, like this :

but it is just a possibility

It didn't seem to be moving to me, either. But it did seem to have a "flaming" look to it.

Very strange.

Way to static.
If you look at the angle of the object, then follow it as a virtual line (between 2.15 and 2.20) you can see a similar object in line.....
It looks like that bright light is reflecting off an overhead cable.

To illustrate the point, I took 3 frames and pasted them together.
The first is from when he zoomed out from the object (bottom right in my picture), showing the object zoomed out (highlighted with a small white circle).
The second frame is when he pans left and has the object (blurred) and light in shot.
The third is when he pans up at the end to show a similar object at the top of the frame (large white circle), whilst the light is in shot (for reference).

Using the light as a point of reference, I drew a line at the same angle as the the objects (parallel, slightly to there right).

As you can see they connect. I'm pretty sure its an overhead power cable/high tension steel cable (or perhaps even a telephone wire), reflecting the light source we see in the video.

Thanks RedFox for your analysis, it seems that some sort of reflection of overhead cables is the most likely explanation.
