It occurs to me that the reason for the cautious approach to the possibility of the sighting may be related to the timestamp- unfortunately the time stamps are not set with scientific accuracy. I wish they were but to give you an idea of the problem with that one of the other cams has been around 45 minutes fast for months- possibly since its installation- and nothing has been done to correct it.
