Yup. Saw a TV show on these once, but I thought they were only in South America.

You caught two and a half flaps of a moth in flight right there.

Alien moth that is.

you must remember there is no flash on cam. it is whitish in colour. the wing span is wide. Distance from cam is about 100 feet.

Just_dave is right....it is a moth flying in front of your camera. Because of the shutter speed and the low light and the rate at which a moths wings flap......it appears on the cam like a flying spiral.

There is a couple articles I have read about these weird things people get on trail cams.....but they are just moths.

Google search "flying rod" for more info.

...or "Roswell Rod". Pretty fun reading. But yeah, I would say it's a moth.

Sweet, you have "flying rods"! Just a bug of some sort playing tricks with slow shutter speed.
