Description

I've taken a look at footage linked on this post here:https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/zf3shk/satellite_drone_taken_t…

Here's my findings:

^(tl;dr it was sirius - handful of commenters got it) *^(on the money)*

after overlaying the videos, which were taken between 06:22 => 06:31, You can notice a significant and predictable trend in the objects path. The green dots are to make the object more visible, and they have been cut out of each shot to show the gradient increase in luminosity of the sky over the time period we are talking. (remember the time above)

2 of these shots are overlayed on one another, but compare the first shot (the one on the left) to that of the last shot (on the right).

Looking at the footage, you can see a "tree". This tree can be found on google maps, and by taking a transit between the two objects directly infront of OPs building, we can get a very accurate idea of bearing. I'd probably say within one or two degrees.

So we have a bearing of around 246 degrees. Lets go over to Stellarium, and take a look. We'll look South-west, and plumb in 246 degrees, at 06:31. Stellarium gives you generic "backgrounds" so this isn't what OP was seeing... but gives a good idea of "horizon".

Reddit sucks. Half the post has been removed whilst posting an edit to it.... Great.

Anwyay... if you take that 246 degrees and whack it into Stellarium, you'll notice sirius at that exact location. A few minutes earlier, it was higher in the sky and to the left.

Here's where it was at 06:31:
