    I swear the only way to get ppl to take facts seriously is going to be by presenting them as conspiracies at this point

    i saw that video of "balls of light transforming into airplaines". it's literally a plane coming at the camera head on, so it looks like a white light, then it turns, so it looks like the white light is transforming into a plane when it's so far away and some shitty phone camera is zoomed all the way in

    as far as all the drones go, i don't know but that video is clearly not what all these people were freaking out about

      Yeah, approaching planes with their landing lights on look like points of (relatively) stationary light when they're far away, but as they get closer the lights are angled away from your field of vision and are less intense, and it's obviously a plane.

      I live near an airport and to this day I still mistake approaching planes for bright stars.

    I just don't get how they're not tired of this. There's one of these at least once per year and every time The Big One never happens. You'd think that after a few times people would get sick of it and just tune out any future doomsdays but there's always an audience for the next one

      it feels like they're desperately trying to relive the days of hysteria around Government Control during covid that swept up a lot of the less extreme conservatives

    Is Charlie Kirk an insane conspiracist now? Didn’t he used to just be your run of the mill Shapiro type

        Light pollution is awful, even in areas that are pretty rural sometimes. Stargazing is difficult outside of state parks and national forests where I’m from

      Some are also just planes and helicopters with transponders off.

      Was inevitable with modern smartphone cameras getting better zoom lenses. Now anyone can take a picture of these objects in the sky.

      It always comes from a "anonymous" "whistleblower" off fucking 4chan talking about underwater pyramids building UFOs and coming to abduct white people.

        I have a VERY reliable anonymous source with definitive proof that the UFOs over New Jersey are actually just the Nintendo Switch 2. (I will post proof later, I promise.) /s

            Its actually my girlfriend's dad. My girlfriend lives in Canada, and she already has a PlayStation 7, and she lets me play with it every time I go to Canada.

        underwater pyramids building UFOs and coming to abduct white people.

        With this kind of budget, this Stargate SG-1 reboot is gonna be off the chain

          Unfortunately that budget was blown entirely on finding more ammo for their P90s. Totally worth it.

    So, in all seriousness ( which is no fun), all of these drone flights are just some kind of training exercise the military is doing, right? It's not that hard to follow a drone to where it's landing.
