The Ancients had drone weapons of similar shape, but about 1 meter long. From what I remember, the very first episode featured one in Antarctica (before gating to Atlantis). The awkward scientist launches one that bursts out of the snow and starts chasing the jock officer in a helicopter. They glow when flying. It's not a very unique shape but it specifically reminded me of the first snow scene
Gotcha. I saw all 3 series and enjoyed each for various reasons. I'm just always intrigued when I find something within your work that harks back to a specific item in my memory, wondering if you drew inspiration from the same space. I know our general age and interests have notable overlap.
I don't recommend SG: Universe unless you loved Battlestar Galactica (2004 series) and can just turn on your blinders to the hurried wrapup of season 2/the series when it didn't pull BSG numbers.
I saw season 1-3 live but only finished the show around 2022. My wife and I fell off during season 3 two different times. Literally 10 years. I missed the original S4 airing due to school or something. But at least we know now that it's not so bleak if you can emotionally get past New Caprica

Did you happen to watch Stargate Atlantis?

Only the first few episodes when they first got aired in my country. Is there an episode with similar creatures?

Oh, I dimly remember! I loved Stargate SG-1 but never got into Stargate: Atlantis unfortunately.

Funnily enough this talk about Stargate made think about rewatching Battlestar Galactica.

I got introduced to it shortly after S4 concluded, around 2010. Nostalgia for 90s/00s Scifi is hitting pretty hard right now :'-)
