My trail cam in Flagstaff caught something weird last night

I set it up to watch for wildlife, but the footage from 3 AM shows a bright, silent triangle moving against the wind. It just blinked out after a few seconds, and now the camera's SD card is totally corrupted. Has anyone else had tech fail right after a possible sighting?

My friend's dashcam did the same thing, just like christopherw34 said.

That exact thing happened to my buddy's setup near Sedona. First step, DO NOT try to save files from that card. It's toast. Get a new SD card from a trusted brand, and always use two cameras pointed at the same area now. The interference seems to target single points of failure. His second cam caught clear footage of a regular coyote the next week, so it wasn't just animals avoiding the spot.

Wait, so the interference fried the SD card itself?

Guess my old trail cam just got stage fright. Time to upgrade before it ghosts me again.
