Some background:
I live on the outskirts of a city, in a pretty quiet neighborhood. We've had our share of Searched Cars, Stolen Cars, Break Ins and general crime,but all-in-all not too bad of place to live.

So, I'm working in the large shed when I notice I have a Motion Alert on my phone. I pull up the text and what do I see? A LADY WITH BOLT CUTTERS? I'm thinking how the hell did I not hear her and what is she planning to do?

So I rush inside the main house and pull up the footage. Look at the exact timestamp... no lady.

Weird.

Look at the second camera that looks at the shed more directly....

No lady.

I spend an hour trying to figure out how the motion alert picked her up, and where the hell she went.

Finally I go back, and guess what it was? A bird. If you watch the below clip at .125 speed, you'll see the bird form the exact shape in the alert.

I've never been so angry, but so relieved.

Now that is funny! I enlarged the photo and it looks so realistic.
I am glad for you that is was an optical illusion.

I thought it was a magpie after shiny things.

I managed to stop the video on the exact frame at 5 secs. Amazing how it forms the shape.

It's starting to sound like Cludeo. It was the lady with the bolt cutters, in the garden.....or then again was it the dog standing on two legs with the lead piping?

Why do people's videos and pics always look better than what I get on my cameras LOL.

What camera and what settings are you at.
