| What is the flying object? |
We took a call from the teaching professional at the Bryanston Country Club, Dean Nysschen. He told us that while he was going over a pupils swing analysis video on the slow mo, he saw a disk like object shoot across the sky on the video. On normal view speed, you can not see the object fly across the screen, but when the video is slowed down, you can clearly see something shoot across the sky at great speed.
