A bright object was filmed in the distance above the trees over the course of fifteen minutes.

The video, which was uploaded on to YouTube last week by Tom Hall, was recorded looking southwest from Kinlochard.

The bright object can be seen hovering above the horizon before slowly descending towards the right. The uploader emphasized that he didn't believe it to be a plane, helicopter or a Chinese lantern and there was no noise throughout the encounter.

It was filmed at around 5:25 pm on February 1st.

The video has since generated quite a lot of discussion online with commenters speculating on what it could be. Both Police Scotland and the local coastguard claimed to have no record of any aircraft in the area at the time and it didn't appear to be a meteorological phenomenon.

The most widely suggested theory however is that the object is actually nothing more than the planet Venus which currently appears very bright and low down in the sky.

It's movement towards the right can be attributed to the rotation of the Earth.

Is Venus currently in that part of the sky, relative to where the camera was positioned ?

The bright planets shown on this link are venus in the west and jupiter in the east. At 10 sec in the video a distance shot suggests it is one or the other of these two planets. Jupiter has fooled me before :)

It can't have been jupiter which is in the eastern sky, the camera was pointing south west. On the next clear night I am going to check out in that direction. I just mentioned Jupiter because it had me fooled until I checked it out, it was that big and bright.
