Title is out of respect to what was likely a raven that took me down on the date of this upload. Reviewed footage, compared footage performing the same manuver 28 hours prior, and researched instances of ravens attacking drones... especially lightweights. Narrowed down the possible crash-site to within about a block based off of onboard footage, satellite (google maps) imagery, old fashioned orienteering, and two search flights using my Mini 3. Not joy. Almost had control of the Neo, and when it was lost again I triggered the autopilot to bring it home. Didn't work. Note the vertical and lateral speeds. Open to any possibilities other than a bird attack.
