I tried this monocular thermal camera to see critters around my property from afar — but I spotted some anomalies in the sky instead

I thought I'd come across just about every kind of thermal camera out there. From pocketable ones I keep on my keychain to give my phone instant night vision, to a roof mounted setup for my car to drive safely at night, thermal cameras come in all shapes and sizes — but this latest one allowed me to see intriguing stuff in the night sky.

The Mileseey Optics TNV10 Pro is a portable monocular thermal camera, which sets itself apart from all thermal cameras I’ve tested because of its ability to detect targets up to 1,500 yards away. That’s 4,500 feet of range or roughly 0.85 miles, which is a staggering amount of distance to cover.
