Due to a busted toggle switch I was night flying with the flight mode settings disabled. The exact moment it came into view attimode kicked in for the duration of the event.. anyone else experience anomalies from from the presence of anything similar?
   Direct energy weapon, UFO, planet nimrod or nibiru? Lol.HAARP? Shooting star.... Could it have been a sattilite burning up?
   Seriously anything you witness simultaneously without the use of mushrooms.

Meteors do affect GPS reception, as well as most other radio frequencies.  Astronomers count meteor numbers during meteor showers using reflected radio waves.

The Leonid meteor shower is at its best on the mornings of November 17 and 18, you probably saw an early one.

Magnetic and Electrical interference. Would have been a very good capture.

I agreed with Corey. Magnetic interference will affect the compass and your drone can not fly normally with the error.

Exactly and that's why the drone switched to atti mode - strong magnetic interference

Nonsense.
The Phantom would have to be only a few feet away from a substantial iron meteorite for it to have any impact on the compass.
