Whatdunit吗?什么东西在经过日偏食时消失了？让我们出示证据。这段每秒24帧的视频于2026年8月12日当地时间20:28在西班牙（40°34'30.3"N 1°12'28.8"W）拍摄。英仙座流星雨在这段时间达到了顶峰。这是流星吗？流星雨可以追溯到天空中一个被称为辐射点的区域，该区域与地球穿过彗星路径的位置相对应。这个天体的轨迹可以追溯到英仙座的辐射点。该物体在天空中的轨迹角度比太阳和月亮的0.5度要小，这比流星的预期要小。它的亮度不会超过太阳，但是在天空中燃烧的流星不需要阳光就能被看到。也许是物体反射了阳光？在与飞行数据库交叉参考了地点、时间和天空中的点之后，发现罪魁祸首是一条飞机轨迹！

Whatdunit? What disappeared while crossing a partially eclipsed Sun? Let’s present the evidence. The 24 frames-per-second video was taken in Spain (40°34'30.3"N 1°12'28.8"W) at 20:28 local time on August 12, 2026. The Perseids meteor shower was at its peak during this time. Is this a meteor? Meteor showers trace back to a region of the sky called a radiant point that corresponds to where the Earth is crossing a comet’s path. The object’s path might trace back to the Perseids’ radiant point in the Perseus constellation. The object trails a smaller angle on the sky than the 0.5 degree Sun and Moon, which is smaller than expected for a meteor. Its brightness does not extend much past the Sun, but a meteor burning up in the sky would not need sunlight to be seen. Perhaps the sunlight is reflecting off of the object? After cross-referencing the location, time, and point in the sky with a flight database, the culprit is found to be an airplane contrail!
