Public relations and the like are more likely to answer some news outlet than a common citizen.
They probably didn't care.
If the camera wasn't pointing in the direction of the Moon's rising position on that day then it wasn't the Moon, but you said the video compresses 1 hour and 15 minutes into 25 seconds, so the 7 seconds in which we see that light correspond to more or less 24 minutes. The Moon moves at a speed of 360º in 24 hours (1440 minutes), so in 24 minutes it would travel 1/60 of that, 6º. In average, the width of the three middle fingers in hour hands corresponds to 5º when we have the arm extended, so if the camera was pointing East and the angular distance travelled by that light is close to the three middle fingers with the extended arm, it's highly likely it was the Moon.
If any of the above is not true then it was not the Moon.
That's true, but you are assuming that light tripped your neighbours' security light, and you don't have any way of knowing that, right?
How can you know that it was the same light?
Being too sure about things we do not really know is a great way of being wrong.
What NASA doesn't give a sheet? I agree with you on that one. Especially after they "came out" with their position UFO 's
Ok, Moon or not? At this time I am also 50 / 50 and need to look into this further. Camera is aimed at 56 degrees as per Google Earth. When I checked security footage in 2024 during the same period of time; NOTHING. But let me do another scientific style check as we should be able to see it again when it rises ~ 56 degrees as per the chart as attached!
