Strangest thing - one of my night vision security cameras captured a silhouette in the IR band on 2016 7-28 at 03:25:31 thru about 03:25:33 am. Here is a snapshot from the middle sequence.

Certainly didn't have as much detail as the cover shot of the youtube you posted above Mojo.

I don't know of any moths that have such a silhouette, and it didn't seem to match a dragon-fly's silhouette.

That which is in my security camera's snapshot. Didn't think I had 'fairies' :) (Dragonfly LEFT- ( ??? ) right)

I suppose "dragonflys" may have given cause for fairy-lore - they certainly seem to be friendly.

==update on the mythology associated with 'dragonfly' and the 'fairy'==


In the Dakota/Lakota mythology, the dragonfly is equated with the mirage or illusion, because their wings beat so rapidly that the human eye cannot see it.

In the Lakota tribe, this insect and concept of illusion was often invoked when they wanted to (have) confused their enemies. Dragonfly represented the god or spirit of “Whirlwind.”

On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in Ireland and parts of Europe, dragonflies were associated with fairies.

Some fables and fairytales, if you will, told that if you followed a dragonfly, it would lead you to fairies. Others said that they were the steeds of fairies.

This leads to an association with magic. Dragonflies are so full of spiritual energy and a sort of magic, that they represent the ability to travel between dimensions.

Dragonflies are depicted often in Japanese paintings as representations of new joy and light. And, like the Lakota tribe’s mythology, dragonflies can teach illusion. They tell us that things are not always as they seem, and that life itself is not always what it appears to be.

When I looked at the distance from the camera in the 3 shots (frame rate 16 fps), and knowing the size of the branches where it was headed, it appears to be 2-3 inches. Are cranefly's that size? We're in the mountains outside of Colorado Springs, Colorado, at about 7000 foot altitude. Do they fly at night at that altitude at the nightime temperatures we have here? I think it was 58 deg F at that time.. Shortly thereafter, a fog came in for about 15 minutes, to make it more 'interesting'.


Crane Flies grow up to 2 1/2 inches long, with a wingspan of three inches.

here is the side by side - the legs in the creature that my camera caught appear to be thicker.

[DeDukshyn]

It looks more like a crane fly than a dragon fly. The legs do look a bit thicker in the video image - there's over 10,000 species of crane fly - some do have thicker legs. It's hard to make out in the video still, being IR and low res high compression and all. Crane flies do get big - not sure how big they get in your area. Could be just a little closer to the camera than estimated.

The rings are known throughout Europe. In tradition, they were called “sorcerers’ rings” in France, and “witches rings” in Germany, where they’re supposedly most active on Walpurgisnacht, the eve of April 30, when witches were believed to meet and hold large celebrations coinciding with the arrival of Spring.

Origin of Faeries

Fairy, also fay, fae, from faery, faerie or "realm of the fays," are mythical beings or legendary creatures in British folklore. It is a form of spirit often described as metaphysical, supernatural or preternatural. Sometimes the term can describe any magical creature including goblins or gnomes.

The word fairy/faerie derives from the Middle English faeirie, also fayerye, feirie, fairie and a direct adoption from Old French faerie (Modern French feerie). This word also was derived from late Latin fata (one of the Fates), Italian fata, Protuguese fada, Spanish hada are all of the same origin.

These words refer to the three Fates, or witches, that spin and control the threads of life. Hence, "destiny" or "fate" could be in the hands of faeries.

Much of the folklore about faeries revolves around protection from their malice. Belief in faeries reaches back to ancient times and are traceable in both written and verbal tradition.

They originally were depicted as short wizened trolls or as tall, radiant and angelic beings. As time marched on, modern culture has often depicted them as young, winged humanoids of small stature.

A common theory or theme found among the Celtic nations of the British Isles describes a race of diminutive people who had been driven into hiding by invading humans. The Aos Si were faery folk and are immortals living in the ancient borrows and cairns throughout Britain.

There is evidence that small-structured races populated parts of the British Isles in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages before the spread of the Celts. The Little People, or pygmy's, were said to be the disposed early tribes of the British Isles. They faded away into inhabited places growing smaller and smaller over time until they were finally forgotten and passed into legend.

These elusive fairy races were regarded with suspicion by the larger races. It was believed that faerie and human lovers could marry though with restrictions and if those restrictions were violated, the marriage would end and sometimes the life of the human.

Up until the 13th century, having fairy blood was admired. Since then, many people began endowing faeries with magical characteristics. It was also believed that faeries could resemble humans in size but could decrease themselves to a very small size.

In Ireland, these faeries were known in the Tuatha de Danaan and resided in burrows and shelters burrowed under hills, mounds and cairns. These elusive faerie races were regarded with suspicion by the larger races. They were seen as people of the Goddess Diana who ruled Ireland before the Milasian invasion. They were driven underground where they became the Daoine Sidhe faeries.

The sidhe, therefore, are the fairy folk in the Tuatha de Danaan and the sithein is the name of any place in which faeries take up residence, such as a cairn, a green rounded mound of earth. The brugh is the word for the inside of a faerie dwelling.

Many of the Irish tales in the Tuatha de Danaan refer to these faerie beings though in ancient times they were regarded as goddesses and gods.

Another theory as to the origin of faeries is that faeries were originally worshiped as minor goddesses such as nymphs or tree spirits. They figure prominently in British pagan belief in druids who employed magic and faeries to do their bidding.

The last theory of the origin of faeries comes from Christian mythology that worked the faerie folklore into acceptable religious beliefs. The faeries came about when the angels revolted and God ordered the gates of heaven shut. Those still in heaven remained angels, those in hell became demons and those caught in between became faeries. Faeries live in a limbo world according to Christianity.

The archaic English term for faeries is fay which means enchanted or bewitched. Although the British Isles remain the foremost place where we get our beliefs and images of faeries, belief in faeries is universal because they are known by various folklore names.

Have seen literally hundreds of fairy rings on plateau range land on a ranch in the cariboo in b.c. mojo.

[Ellisa]

In Wales where I was born there was a strong belief in the Tylwyth Teg, ie the little people. My gran used to leave out a small bowl of milk or a little cake (drops from pancake making are still said to be 'for the fairies' in our house). She once did all her shopping with her coat on inside out because to change it would have allowed the fairies to trick her. She may have been a little silly and extreme but many still shared her beliefs in those days. I don't believe in fairies, but the discovery of the Indonesian 'hobbit' gives an element of truth to the idea that some small version of regular humans used to inhabit the woods and were pushed back into the mountains and wild areas.

I think those pictures are probably dragon flies or similar. It would be nice though if my gran was right and fairies are real!

My below photo was taken last year in November and I'll hope will help in this debate and is not the only one but this was the first I found (for three years every shooting day has its own file with at least 150 photos in,so very hard to find - this one take me two days :) ).I have more three or four images with this kind of entity which appear also yellow-ish due to camera flash light.So these entities are quite rare in my pictures and I'm sure that are not dragonflies or craneflies or any other nocturnal flying "bugs" and I'm sure that is related to something else.

Here's the picture.Is taken in our front yard with my back on the wall keeping the camera almost vertically.

Thanks for the share EFO - it definitely appears to be a flying creature of some sort.

Another critter I have seen flying around at night (but not commonly), is the "giant water bug" - not that common to see but fairly well distributed around the world ... frightening creatures - especially when seen flying; they normally hide out in ponds, creeks or swamps. Bob's critter doesn't have near the body mass to be one of these though ...

Why all these?Very disappointing from my point of view...to much rage...

Leaving all these aside and think rationally,scientists discover almost every year new species on Earth and nobody speak to much about and didn't relate it with negative things.So perhaps this former living being (creature - for those who like this term) could be an other link in the chain of evolution or something else that we can not understand yet and need to have patience.

Let's first try to live with them as we live with other organisms on Earth.

These elusive faerie races were regarded with suspicion by the larger races. They were seen as people of the Goddess Diana who ruled Ireland before the Milasian invasion. They were driven underground where they became the Daoine Sidhe faeries.

The sidhe, therefore, are the fairy folk in the Tuatha de Danaan and the sithein is the name of any place in which faeries take up residence, such as a cairn, a green rounded mound of earth. The brugh is the word for the inside of a faerie dwelling.

Many of the Irish tales in the Tuatha de Danaan refer to these faerie beings though in ancient times they were regarded as goddesses and gods.

Another theory as to the origin of faeries is that faeries were originally worshiped as minor goddesses such as nymphs or tree spirits. They figure prominently in British pagan belief in druids who employed magic and faeries to do their bidding.

The last theory of the origin of faeries comes from Christian mythology that worked the faerie folklore into acceptable religious beliefs. The faeries came about when the angels revolted and God ordered the gates of heaven shut. Those still in heaven remained angels, those in hell became demons and those caught in between became faeries. Faeries live in a limbo world according to Christianity.

The archaic English term for faeries is fay which means enchanted or bewitched. Although the British Isles remain the foremost place where we get our beliefs and images of faeries, belief in faeries is universal because they are known by various folklore names.

So it sounds that fairies are in the middle of things, stuck in between.
Really they are of the woods, sprites of nature, that feed off of trees, wonder around the forests, they sound clean to me, if this is what they are.

Why vilify them if they are sprites of nature, truly from nature. I could imagine the other version of a fairy where she turns and becomes an evil vampire bitch, but I don't think we could call her a fairy anymore, since fairies are strictly related to nature, they eat flower pollen, feed off of the leaves of the trees, drink spring mountain water.

It is said long ago their habitat was polluted by evil beings, and this upset them greatly, this forced them to move out of it, some of them did not take it well, and since humans are connected to these creatures some of them hold some kind of bad negative opinions about human beings. So some of them don't like humans.

In Wales where I was born there was a strong belief in the Tylwyth Teg, ie the little people. My gran used to leave out a small bowl of milk or a little cake (drops from pancake making are still said to be 'for the fairies' in our house). She once did all her shopping with her coat on inside out because to change it would have allowed the fairies to trick her. She may have been a little silly and extreme but many still shared her beliefs in those days. I don't believe in fairies, but the discovery of the Indonesian 'hobbit' gives an element of truth to the idea that some small version of regular humans used to inhabit the woods and were pushed back into the mountains and wild areas.

I think those pictures are probably dragon flies or similar. It would be nice though if my gran was right and fairies are real!

57 degrees Fahrenheit = 13.8 degrees Celsius

Those humanoid forms doesn't look at all like fairy/ies to me.It would be interesting to know the distance up to the trees and height of the trees to approximate the height of those entities.

Anyway,that guys filmed something ... more..."else"...than expected. :)
