Personally, I think it is a bug on the lens that is out of focus...or the owner dangled something on the camera himself.

It's definitely on the lens.  Probably a ladybug or something.

Nah, look at the way it moves and the shape. It's a silverfish, definitely a silverfish.

Or the ghost of Jiminy Cricket.

That was what I was thinking.
The behavior pattern is about right too. Damn, CNN will jump all over anything won't they?

It's absolutely amazing how dumb people are.  These are the people we drive next to on the freeway every day.

Everybody knows ghosts are white.  Jeeesh.

Probably behind the lens and trapped inside the camera itself. Reminds me of someone who was complaining of an ant inside his LCD monitor.

I dunno what it is, but I am sure we can all agree that this thing is also responsible for crop circles.

Living the delusional lifestyle.

I love how whenever there is a story like this there is always some moron that says something about it being an old Indian burial ground or whatever.

You sir are a choad.

Could be a crack head that got ahold to the wrong stuff and it told him to go up in a tree an play a leprechaun.
