Ghostly Blue Image Caught On Tape

The Force is Strong With This One
I thought this may be of interest here. I did a quick check and didn't see it posted anywhere else.

A surveillance video from a gas station in Parma, Ohio captured this moving blue light on film.

At around 10 sec into the video it flits off and it looks like it has wings.

Looks like a flying fish to me :)
 
I've seen some evidences of ghostly apparitions, and they're usually black but NEVER blue.

Quite interesting.
 
The movements of this blue blurb reminds me more of some kind of animal on the camera lens or casing. It doesn't seem to float ghostly :D
 
When it moves it looks like it could be real, but when it's stationary it doesn't change shape at all between frames which is strange. Keeping an open mind though.
 
If it was the reflection off some kind of bug or object on (or in front of) the camera lens wouldn't you expect the color or the intensity of reflected light to change as it moves? It doesn't appear to though. When it moves it really does look like a fish to me. :)
 
Yeah, this thing is definitely walking on camera lens. And I think it has a tail. Looks like a transparent tadpole with blue halo.
 
The movements reminded me of a silverfish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverfish) I saw while cleaning the balcony last weekend.

Interesting. And, even the right size, too!

If we could try to experiment on putting the silverfish on the len of a camera, we might see a difference or the same? If that is a case, why show the blue color? Might it be a filter or a blur of sort?
 
I agree it's movements are like the silverfish and the Wikipedia article does say it is a silvery blue color. I'm not sure what it would be doing outside on a camera lens though. The same article says "silverfish can only exist in sufficiently humid, crevice-rich environments. If these two conditions are removed, the silverfish will not be able to survive." and "silverfish cannot climb up the smooth inside walls of glass containers". Perhaps a similar looking insect. When it flits off a couple of times in the video it looks it has wing and the silverfish does not have wings.
