Hello all: this is from back in September, I only had time now to process it. Most likely from nearby Sikorsky airport.

Re: Transit
It looks like a single engine turboprop aircraft. Probably someone's corporate plane.
Nice video!

Re: Transit
Hi Franco,
Excellent catch. If you knoe the exact time of the pass you can check at
https://www.flightradar24.com/24.12,-104.44/7
what type of plane it was near your place ... Those are my coordinates ...

Re: Transit
Very sharp and excellent capture Franco.
This is a Pilatus PC-12 private/corporate turbo-prop executive type.
May only show on FlightRadar if its' Squawk box is "sqawking ADS mode "C" or
better and not necessarily "7000" - unless in controlled airspace...
As undercarriage retracted and not knowing the height/altitude -
it may not be in that "controlled airspace."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilatus_PC-12 explains.
A beautiful design and manufactured aircraft - one of which I had a look
inside and out, some years back at an Air Fair...
Being a Swiss design/manufacture is, as expected to be a very fine product
- even at the price too...
They can be seen over S.E. England - often and on my radar and web-links.

Re: Transit
No probs Franco and at least the animation was clearly visible to me this afternoon
and needed that answer. In fact much-easier than seeing what I've typed in this small print..
Best Wishes and keep filming so very-well the transits as well as the Sun of course.
Thanks
