Hovering object in a motocycle race caught by onboard camera.

I was just watching this video of a race right when the guy starts to take the lead (2:10). I looked to the top left of the screen and I see an object hovering in one of the clouds it seems. It kind of looks like it could be a helicopter, but why would a helicopter be hovering in that exact spot and not move at all from what I can tell.

You guys please be the judge. I do not know how to put the video on here so I will just link it. please let me know what you guys think it really could be anything. Keep in mind its at 2:10 into the video.

I see nothing....the bikes going round corners and going pretty quick. Ive looked at it a few times and still cant see anything at all.

Being that this is a major race...its more than likely a helicopter as they film a lot of events like this from choppers. (wide area covered whilst hovering in a stationary position)

Looks like a helicopter, facing to the right.

I would assume it was there for filming purposes. Good eye for spotting something so small though!

Its either a blimp sponsoring the event, or a helicoptor as your first initial reaction was, it doesnt look likes it moving because the camera guy is also moving

4:20, lol. And I'm not even a stoner. Just cracks me up when I see it cuz I'm easily amused.

Aaaanyway, I didn't see it. Where exactly should I be looking? Can you maybe do a screen grab and post it? I'm going to look again.

Now I see it's a 2:10, lol. Off to go take another look.

I was looking at how long the video was and not the actual time. Its actually at 2:10 sorry about that i fixed it

ahhhhh i see it now haha 2 mins earlier than you originally posted. Yup its a helicopter filming the event.

Seems legit, if I was an alien I'd watch a mortor cycle race. I'm sure at first glance they thought it was a bunch of Humans running at 160 MPH, lol.

If they saw that I'm sure they would be leaving pretty quick.

Ok, I saw it that time! You have some good eyes on ya! lol!

It *kind of* looks like a helicopter, but hard to say for sure. Nice catch though!

Seems the popular opinion is helicopter

My god they are absolutely hammering thos bikes

Plenty of people have died on that track down there

Anyway back on topic sure does look odd well spotted, it does kinda resemble a disk shape but also closely fits a helo side on at times, since thats the most logical explanation here i'm going to have to go with helo, the video just is not good enough to make any other accusation

Definitely not a blimp tho thats for sure,

Star for being alert :up
