I think you are mistaken about that. I see a whitish vertical line
above the object around the time you say, but it is a feature on
the hillside, clearly visible in frames where the object is in other
positions. The object starts out and ends up much too far from
the camera to be suspended from wires.

My questions are:

Why do I only see about one frame per second? Is the Flash
player dropping frames in order to keep up with real time, or does
the video on YouTube only contain about one frame per second?

Why does the image jump around so much from one frame to the
next? Even if I'm only seeing every 30th frame, the camera seems
to bounce around like the camera operator is on a paint can shaker.

Why do none of the media players I've ever had allow me to step
through a video a frame at a time?

Why do none of the the media players I've ever had (except the
very first MPEG player) allow me to adjust the frame rate?
