    Hot off the production line is another TESS movie featuring those
    "meteors" that seem to dodge around the spacecraft sometime in early 2020.
    That sequence now appears in the middle of the 2 movies that otherwise
    show bright dots moving around the FOV. In the "positive" version
    of the movie they really appear to be bright dots in the original
    TESS images for the sector/camera that are brighter than their background
    yet move slowly and consistently across the field.
    The other "-ve" movie inverts black/white and tracks shadows that
    appear to move consistently across the field.
    And, as I have said "a couple" of times, in the middle of it all
    a group of 4-8 "something" come out of the distance, speed toward
    the camera, and at the last second swerve to avoid impact.
    Well, that's what it looks like.
