Ufo

Were they just flashes? I saw orange flashes/lights zig zag across the night sky a few times when I lived in the Thetford area years ago. I have no idea what they were though - unidentified aerial phenomenon :)

It was cloudy, so the clouds just lit up. There were 1-2 that seemed less vibrant and I wasn't sure I'd seen them, and then at least 2 much brighter ones that I was like ok I'm not making this up.

I had a pretty wild experience a number of years ago in that area at my fathers place. The next morning it was all over the news that there were many reports of UFOs that night. Then later that day the military said they had done a training exercise of some sort. Of course the assumption is that is a cover up. Anyway, who knows 🤷‍♂️

The weird part of my experience was I didn’t see anything. It was a a very loud hum that was almost rattling the house. My dog woke me up barking at the ceiling. We went outside and he was barking up at the sky. The loud droning hum sounded like it was just a few feet above us but it was pitch black. No stars. Eventually the sound slowly moved away towards NH.

That is creepy! I'm home alone now and my dog just started getting restless and barking at the door. I checked the cameras and nothing going on, but clearly she thinks otherwise.

Vogons?

Starlink. There was a recent launch.

I remember when this happened and the phenomenon was reported across the country. I’ll see if I can dig up an article

You’re gonna need a few pints of lager and some salty pretzels.

The Springfield airport lights cause this sometimes

Oh freddled gruntbuggly, Thy micturations are to me, (with big yawning)

It’s kind of funny how the article describes the person who discovered it as a “Crimean amateur astronomer” to avoid taking sides on who that peninsula belongs to. I would have expected NPR to say he was Ukrainian since they have a legitimate claim, although maybe the guy identifies as Russian and they didn’t want to say that.

You probably caught a glimpse of the tail end of an F-35 flown by the Green Mountain Boys.

Yeah, two out of the three times I saw the lights I described I was with someone else who saw them too, or spoke with someone else who was in the area that saw them at the same time. Two of the three times I was outside (not in my car) and there were no sounds. Weird.
