Hey everyone,

Today I was flying my Mavic 3 Classic drone in Orewa, Auckland (New Zealand). I was about 100 meters high, filming towards the sea, when something weird happened.

While doing a tilt movement, something strange flew past the frame. I didn’t see it with my own eyes (I was standing under a tree, very far from the drone), but when reviewing the footage, I noticed this strange flying shadow-like object.

My drone is new, the camera is working perfectly, no issues with the lens, no focus or exposure problems. I've flown many drones before (over 6 or 7 different models), so I know how these cameras usually behave.

I honestly don’t know what it is — it looks like a shadow or a dark shape flying fast across the sky. Maybe someone here has an idea?

I'll leave the footage attached. Curious to hear your thoughts!
