Dr. Sebastian Voltmer was recording the night sky through a telescope when an object blasted through the image.

Despite carrying out checks and not being a UFO fanatic he still cannot explain the footage.
Voltmer said: “While I was filming the moon, I suddenly saw a fast, bright something darting through the image.”
At first he thought it must have been a satellite or space station it was at a different point in Earth’s orbit at the time and satellites don’t normally shoot past the moon at such high speeds.
It is believed to have not been a meteor due to its distinctive tail being missing and its slower speed.
And the International Meteor Organisation did not have any records of one of the shooting stars at the time Voltmer was filming, reports grewi.de.
Voltmer also rules out flies or dust near the lens and thinks that the object must have been more than 500 meters away based on the plane of focus.
He told BILD: “I actually ᴀssume that it was at an alтιтude of 100 to 200 kilometers, i.e. in the transition to the so-called Low Earth Orbit.”
The exact shape of the object cannot be seen from the still image as it has been blurred by the speed it was travelling at.
Another possible explanation would be space debris or a military object but the astrologer said he would have expected more reports.
