Umm, did anyone else have...

a Men in Black moment? My boyfriend & I were just walking on Vandy towards Prospect Place, when we looked up & saw (what at first we thought were) airplanes flying kind of in tandem. BUT THEN upon closer inspection, we noticed that they each had one light & were spinning.
He swears they must be satellites - I sense something more otherworldly... Opinions??? :shock:

Bondgirl, meet ProspectPlaceGirl.

I didn't see it, but could be related to air show this week in NYC. They practice in advance.

seriously

I saw it too! Whynot? Airshow for real???

oh, my guess is it was makeshift hot air balloons. we used to make them in Brazil: it's all paper with a candle. Any chance it's what you saw?

Yep, that's my guess without seeing it. They even mentioned it on the news last night that there would be a bunch of low-flying planes this weekend because of it

From my perspective, on the ground, it wasn't a plane. too small. If it was radio powered, i'd be nicely surprised to see what it actually looked like.

most modern credible sightings have been traced to rockets and other things launching and dumping of stuff.

It's Fleet Week folks... they were doing fly-overs this morning.

Funny, yesterday evening I was walking towards Underhill and I looked up, in the sky was what appeared to be a weird light. It was a blue ring with what looked like a white center. It was steady, no flickering, no spinning, no anything. Just there. I shook my head and said, 'It's not what you think dude,' because I am one of those guys who believes there is life out there. Approximately 28 years ago I saw an unidentified flying object (UFO), and I am a firm believer that what I saw was real, and not from this world.

Since there was no movement I thought the light to be a satellite. There are thousands of those in the sky, and I know that on clear days often the metallic glint can be seen as the sun makes contact with them. I have seen celestial objects that I assume were sattelites given the straight trajectory and their movement in the sky as the earth moves.

I say this to say, there was something in the sky. If you really want to be freaked out, check this out:



This video has music on it to add to the eerie feel, but there are others. Google STS -75 and the word 'tether'

MHA that video was extracted from the one above it.

David Sereda was brilliant in that video ("EVIDENCE") --- the "Galaxy Clock" will blow your mind.

Oh? Sorry, I couldn't see that link for some reason. I will try again. Sorry for the repititon. I will try to view it again. Galaxy Clock? I'm intrigued. TTYlater, going to see if I can watch it.

....Wow. I AM blown away. Thanks for telling me about this, inpixels.

the air force tested a hypersonic cruise missile on the next day of this posting!!!

*relieved*
thank goodness for this message board and confirmation of other people seeing those things last week!
