Hi reddit, I updated my open source UFO Detector project with a new feature that detects and ignores airplanes during the detection process. The software uses a webcam pointed to the sky to look for and automatically record videos of unknown objects. Previously, airplanes seemed to be the most common objects being wrongly captured as something unknown. This new feature requires an active internet connection as it connects to a live airplane database.

For more information about the project please visit http://ufoid.net/ where you can also find videos that were captured using the software.

The software comes as a download for Windows and can be compiled from source to work on Linux systems. As mentioned before, it is open source and I am always looking for contributions to the code base.
