something like 70% of "ufo" sightings are people just looking at the moon
the sky is vast space with no points of reference. it is very difficult to see how close or far something is or how big or small it is. it can appear to move in strange ways because you are mving your head "or camera" and it seems to follow you. add in some atmospheric effects and haze and a little bit of imagination and people get themselves worked up
- One time my wife and I were staring up in the sky and saw this HUGE light. We were freaking out, thought it was some military craft test. Like nothing we had seen before.
  The clouds parted and it was the moon lol
  
  no shame. it has happened to all of us. one night you will look in the sky, see a light and be like "WTF IS THAT?" and it will be something obvious that was just obscured or something like the moon
  i bet it even seemed to move a little strangely and stuff. wild how such a vast space can fuck with your perception, huh?
  
  Lmao, my wife and i were once having a chat outside, when we both saw a giant green meteor race past the sky. My first reaction was a peasant brained "well, that's it. It's the end.". Her reaction was to look at me like i had two heads and call me a dumbass.

  once we were looking at the night sky. suddenly just before midnight multiple deep purple coloured bright light sources appeared circling in chaotic zigzag moves above some point far away. it only lasted a few seconds but then we realized it was only light from the moon, the rising sun and some clouds that must have tricked us somehow, so we were just amused called it a day and quickly went inside to make brunch cause we were all hungry like we just came home from an exhaustive daytrip or such but news later confirmed that all we must have seen was just a weather balloon.

  now really i had seen a huge bright light in the sky that lit up the valley as if it was day once in switzerland. turned out to be a military thing they used during some night time exercise. it was like a parachute signal rocket but white and burning really long like longer than 15minutes i think and that light also didnt move much.
- Perspective for stellar objects is very weird. Scholars have been theorising for literal millennia why people think the moon is bigger when it's nearer the horizon, and we still don't know.

people were talking too much about luigi. send out the drones.
if only luigi were here to shoot them down
- There weren't any drones terrorizing the Mid-Atlantic until they locked him up.

be a cracker
shoot down a "drone" in the middle of the Appalachian sky
your gun jams
it falls out of the sky anyway
the "drone" was a Boeing
everyone claps

Seriously like 90 percent of the US is full of morons.
- Looks like the bourgeois education system is doing its job just as it was designed to.
  
  Reminder that American adults have a 20% illiteracy rate and 50% are reading below a 6th grade level. Like, try finding a reading comprehension test for 6th graders and remember that half the adult burgerlanders would struggle to pass it, or straight up fail. It's absolutely terrifying.
  Failed state.

I found it interesting that people are filming a bright, glowing thing seemingly intentionally designed to be visible at night and think, "SPY drone."

Saw a reddit thread the other day where they were saying, "Each drone looks different! This proves this one bit of 4chan lore that says each and every UFO uniquely manufactured out of The Alien's underwater burmuta triangle facility!" and in the video they were talking about, the aircraft had one of those standard regulation red blinking lights.

Welcome back comrade balloon

y'all ever wonder if there will ever be any repercussions from letting a neurodegenerative virus run wild while pretending everything's back to normal?

It would wild if they actually start shooting innocent ppl out of the sky.
- now that would be real failing empire hours
- "Well we heard the liberals were doing 'unlimited 9/11s on the first world' so we started blasting!"
- One of the white house press conferences, iirc when asked about shooting these down they said that it’s up to the discretion of local law enforcement or something like that. Wild if New Jersey police shoots down a passenger plane because of this
