I have several technical questions about what was going on while it fell.

I wonder if it had the auto-focus enabled and that's why there was the flicker? At the end of the fall it had probably reached it's terminal velocity and established an equilibrium that was near something the camera's electronics could handle.

But, what was going through the pig's mind? My guess is, "Lunch."

I think the camera's frame rate and the terminal roll rate matched at the end Fumesucker Mar 2016 #6

Yep. The camera's physical roll rate as it fell and the frame rate synchronized (sort of). GoneFishin Mar 2016 #9
