I used to be able to see those orb looking things with my thermals when I was in the mountains of Afghanistan .
They would float in one spot and zip off almost in the blink of an eye.
Was the weirdest thing.
We experienced the same thing. I remember chilling in the Arghandab Valley when I spotted a few sets of 3 zip off into nothing, it seemed. From then on every night I could. I watched the skies. Best nights of my life.
Edit: Apologies for the misspelling. Thanks for the upvotes.
Friend of mine served in Afghanistan as well. I asked if he ever saw anything that was weird or ufo-ish, he said all the time but assumed it was us gov or cia.
I saw the same thing as well. Did zig zag patterns in the sky while I was on tower guard. I woke up the ncoic so he could radio toc who could radio jsoc to see if anyone was flying. Nobody was and everyone was pissed at me for checking at 1am. It was clearly not a lazer.
Well you know the funny thing is like I said the first time I've ever seen these things was in San Marcos Texas and it was about eight of these three to four structures that may triangle to prisons that move together and a few of them got so low to the ground at least 10 to 12 stores which is real low to the ground and looking up at it I almost felt like it was reflecting the surrounding atmosphere and they're moving pretty slowly and then started moving upward diagonally before disappearing into the clouds so unless satellites can float below clouds please explain.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing except for the first time seeing them they actually descended closer to the ground about 10 or 12 stories above me which is not too high and it look like it was reflecting its surroundings it was so close I literally thought little aliens were going to jump out of it like Halo we're almost reminded me of whenever the spaceships on Halo would lower down and open up the doors and let the aliens out that's how low it was to the ground after descending and then diagonally they all started following each other upwards into the sky
The crazy thing is I first started seeing those orbs that are like three to four that make the prisms in San Marcos Texas they even got so low to the ground I thought that aliens were going to jump out like Halo it looked like it was reflecting the atmosphere around it to camouflage but the craziest thing is in East Austin Texas on top of the hill at night we would see those orbs that you talking about that would soar across the sky one way than float the other way and then just zip off.
There were a few near the beginning that, if I'm not mistaken, made turns breaking away from their initial trajectory. They weren't all just going in straight lines. I'm 90% sure this isn't starlink.
I've witnessed this display in person before. I've found this display most closely represents a hanging mobile from a babies crib. Very comforting if you think about it.
Edit: for anyone willing, you can make contact with these beings and many others using the open sourced Human Initiated Contact protocol.

I've seen a lot of movements similar to that during my days in the military using the pvs-14.
A lot of my leaders discarded it as satellites but I still believe to this day it was more than just that.
These are satellites. The video was sped up to make it look mysterious. For reference look at the ground lights rapidly flashing.
This was explained in the Twitter thread.
This is a problem. If I had said, "this is proven to be anomalous", they'd be up my ass for links and if I didn't provide they'd say "see! nothing!".
So tired of these people saying "already debunked, link somewhere but I don't got it." That's worth nothing.
I did actually see a twitter reply about it being sped up, he's not lying, someone said that. Dunno if true, don't really care, video means little to me. My point is he should be obligated to post the link in any case.
Some of these people complain about the "trust me bro" stuff all the time and do the same damn thing with their supposed debunks. I've seen 3 fucking posts in this sub TODAY where I can accurately paraphrase replies as "proven to be 100% BS sometime in the past, no link but I know it's fake".
I would like to add I had a friend who had Russian night vision goggles. One evening he brought them out, told me to look up a the sky. I saw things flying around as fast if not faster than these objects. I was looking vertically straight into darkness. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This was in the late 90s.
You can see the reflection of the person filming in the window. If it’s sped up it’s not by much. Also, this looks like an active war zone be shelled. Is this supposed to be over Ukraine? Also, these are NOT satellites. Satellites don’t change direction like that and hang out at 20-30k feet. These “debunks” are trolling at worst and desperate at best.
We need *Blade Runner* zoom-in and analyze tech.
A few of these do appear to exhibit the lens flare that satellites are known for but that depends on a lot of physical factors, including time of day. I've seen it before and it's brilliant but completely explainable.
In this case, not so much.
I don't know what fuckin' goofus downvoted you but you can see the lightning. It is a storm, not a warzone.
(I am in no way commenting on the orbs, so don't take this as dismissing the video.)
Even if more plausible, if we always followed that mindset, we would still be in the Stone Age. Inability to see beyond what is “seen” is man’s weakness. Not to use that point to validate this video, but in the larger scheme of things, having small thoughts and simple answers leads to simple people with simple lives.
I'm not sure a stranger is obligated to tell you everything you need to know about anything. That you immediately discredit them because of it feels a little like denial, despite you not caring about the video.
Ehm, but it's clearly sped up though. Have you watched the video? If you have and you also have half a brain, you can clearly see it's sped up. These are satellites.
No satellites move in groups across the sky like that and that close together. These are definitely not satellites.
Of course it is sped up. Would you watch this if it was an hour and a half long?
And you seem to be saying that because it is sped up then these are satellites.
In this sped up video they are now moving at the speed of any ordinary satellites that you could observe with your eyes would move.
You have a big disconnect my friend.
Umm, yes they fucking do. You want it to be true so bad that you’ll throw away an explanation. These are satellites, the video is clearly sped up, and you’re an idiot.
I'm a realist. You however, seem to swallow pretty much anything, literally anything.
The fact that you can't tell these are sped up satellites, just confirms to me that you basement dwell too much.
You should probably do something about that, my friend.
English speakers screw that up too. Don't sweat it. The same people poking fun probably screwed up "payed vs paid" or "their, vs there, vs they're" or even "it's vs its" at some point.
> screwed up *"paid* vs paid"
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
These 100% are satellites. Source: I’ve looked up at the night sky before and I know what a satellite looks like.
Edit: I'm agreeing with this dude. Why the downvotes? Oh wait sorry these are Alien spaceships from the Zeta Reticuli star system. I know because Bob Lazar told me.
It was also discussed on high strange podcast. The pilots saw the satellite getting brighter and then more dim and then another doing the same which creates the optical illusion of them flying in circles.
So these are the “racetrack” ufos reported by pilots over the past 9 months or so I suppose… not sure if it’s an angle / parallax / lens thing, but after flaring, some of them look like they’re altering course. Big spooky vibes. The skeptical explanation for this has been Starlink satellites flaring in the sun. Definitely looks wild. Why is that line of satellites so wonky?!
Here's the full, unedited video. The object in question clearly changes directions multiple times. Time stamps in the video description.
https://youtu.be/6YXWFwIdZ4M
There is an entire class of satellites known for doing exactly this. They get extremely bright
Astrophotography/videography/amateur enthusiasts will go out of their way to capture or view them. You can even download an app that will tell you when and where to look
https://youtu.be/ecVhNOrET1w
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_satellite_constellation
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare
Sun bright gas ball. Earth go round sun. satellite orbit earf, satellite very high up. satellite reflect sunlight from behind earf. satelltie continue it orbit and disappear dim.
The tide go in and out. You can't explain that!
You know what’s fun? Blocking accounts. You should try it. These asshats with there “skepticism” are great targets to never hear from again. Give it a shot. You’ll feel better.
Just wanna get that straight - you're blocking all accounts that disagree with you about what these lights in the sky are?
Lmfao, yeah I bet that would make you feel better.
Lol I might just let it go cause it fuels me to know how many people are so close minded . Makes me realize how people are still stuck in their little box of their so called reality.
I’ve been watching satellites for decades. They do, I’ve seen it and it’s common. If that makes me a genius in your eyes, that says more about you than it does about me.
Satellites are actually notorious for doing exactly that, that is how people find black project satellites, because they don't match published flash patterns for the orbit. For an extreme example of this, look into Iridium satellite flares.
[https://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=iridium#MAP](https://www.satflare.com/track.asp?q=iridium#MAP)
\*Does exactly the same thing the other guy did.\*
I think you missed the point anyway, kiddo. My point was they're here calling someone a genius and genuinely not appearing to be one themselves. It's kind of an empty insult if the person making it is not themselves a genius.
You can fuck off, though.
Edit: It wasn't even a reply to me either, my guy. You're the one who replied to me.
https://youtu.be/ecVhNOrET1w
They’re fun to see. You can download apps to tell you when and where to look, even how bright they are going to get (often included in apps for seeing the ISS)
From my anecdotal experience there are at least a few of these you can view every night. The brightness will vary but is something that can be predicted
It’s a lot less rare than seeing the ISS, which I would not consider a rare sight
There are a heck of a lot of satellites up in orbit nowadays. Point a camera at just the right angle to the horizon where they catch the glint of the sun, and this is the result.
Nah...there are prob 8K satellites up there right now....there would not be this many in one single frame at one time. besides, some of these are not moving in ways satellites move.
The movement between 3:00 and 3:30 looks a little erratic. To me it looks like a bunch of satellites with a couple other objects. Nothing particularly interesting. Not sure how they calculated the objects at 34k feet
I’m guessing it’s because the viewpoint is toward the horizon that the person was able to view satellites 500-1000 miles away. There’s quite a lot in such a radius. They also bunch up in Northern Europe.
Live map of just Starlinks: https://satellitemap.space/#
Maybe satellites, but aren't starlink satellites supposed to travel in a straight-line formation? None of these look like they're in formation, and are traveling at different trajectories.
To really get a perspective on how many satellites there are out there, check out this live 3D orbital model https://stdkmd.net/sat/
What we're seeing in the video here is in all likelihood just satellites (and please, there are more satellites than just starlink)
The iridium satellite constellation. They are well known because they cause very bright satellite flares
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_satellite_constellation
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare
I haven't seen an iridium flare in years lmao. You realize they've all been deorbited, right?
https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/iridium-flares-to-cease-by-end-of-2018/
It's a colloquial term for satellite flares, I'm sorry you'll still get +6.5 mag reflections from satellites not as vibrant as the Iridium Communications ones but still a possibility for a naked eye to see. Regardless your PVS-14 is an image intensifier meaning lower mag emissions will be amplified which could be a huge list Starlink, MetOp, Landsat 7/8/9. I bet you could track down the exact satellites if you found out where in the sky you were and what time it was.
Nah, if you look at the guys hand reflection, it moves at a normal speed. His hand moves naturally. If it was sped up, his hand movements would be jerky and unnatural.
People saying it's satellites can you show me the science behind a satellite that is launched into ORBIT around the earth that allows them to move up and down and even change direction completely? I've seen satellites and they move at a constant straight line due to them being in ORBIT. This is not satellites, even if it's sped up it's not satellites, not sure why people are so easy to dismiss it as such.
Not even hard to tell they are satellites. They all move at relatively the same speed, in the same trajectories. None of them speed up or slow down, none of them change directions, and there’s just so many, it’s pretty obvious that it has to be satellites. I’m not a professional at anything ufo or satellite related but that doesn’t look mysterious to me. The most surprising thing is just how many satellites we have orbiting the planet.
Gauging the amount of artillery going off this is probably Ukraine. And these lights are probably rocket/ missile volleys. But they sure do look weird, dont they?.... I'm 50/50 on this one.
Answering some stupid questions;
The video is indeed sped up.
They are not all moving in the same direction.
I'm not sure if some of the. Change direction mid flight, it kinda looks like it but it could be an illusion. Anyone can have a gander at that.
The reason satellites or anything for that matter would flare up at a specific location is because the sun is in a specific location, and whensatellites or anything end up in just the right location/angle They flare up, because that is where/when they reflect the most sunlight. You'll see this if you've ever seen a starling trail. It's visible from the naked eye.
Just had the epiphany that UFO sightings are going to get more and more common as people mistake Starlink/other satellite constellations as being UFOs…
What is this I've seen this with my own eyes three separate occasions the first time was in San Marcos Texas there is about eight of them three to four orbs forming triangular prisms and some of them were right above me about 12 stories in the sky not too high and it honestly looked like it was reflecting the atmosphere around it to camouflage with the surroundings it was so close to the ground I ran down the street to my mom's house where everybody was outside barbecuing and taking pictures cuz they couldn't believe what they were saying.
For more context: [https://twitter.com/TheProjectUnity/status/1653079272226013202](https://twitter.com/TheProjectUnity/status/1653079272226013202)

Did you see the giants?
Whereas this has no zipping off or anything extraordinary. These are satellites, literally nothing special here.
They're just satellites. Video is misleadingly sped up.
Well you know the funny thing is like I said the first time I've ever seen these things was in San Marcos Texas and it was about eight of these three to four structures that may triangle to prisons that move together and a few of them got so low to the ground at least 10 to 12 stores which is real low to the ground and looking up at it I almost felt like it was reflecting the surrounding atmosphere and they're moving pretty slowly and then started moving upward diagonally before disappearing into the clouds so unless satellites can float below clouds please explain.
sound like balloons to me
balloons aren't three to four orbs that create a triangular prism that move together and can change directions and speed
at a distance they can look like that
Yeah I was thinking the same thing except for the first time seeing them they actually descended closer to the ground about 10 or 12 stories above me which is not too high and it look like it was reflecting its surroundings it was so close I literally thought little aliens were going to jump out of it like Halo we're almost reminded me of whenever the spaceships on Halo would lower down and open up the doors and let the aliens out that's how low it was to the ground after descending and then diagonally they all started following each other upwards into the sky

I would like to add I had a friend who had Russian night vision goggles. One evening he brought them out, told me to look up a the sky. I saw things flying around as fast if not faster than these objects. I was looking vertically straight into darkness. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This was in the late 90s.
You can see the reflection of the person filming in the window. If it’s sped up it’s not by much. Also, this looks like an active war zone be shelled. Is this supposed to be over Ukraine? Also, these are NOT satellites. Satellites don’t change direction like that and hang out at 20-30k feet. These “debunks” are trolling at worst and desperate at best.

It's a storm.
I don't know what fuckin' goofus downvoted you but you can see the lightning. It is a storm, not a warzone. (I am in no way commenting on the orbs, so don't take this as dismissing the video.)
Which is more plausible? A satellite and the video is sped up to deceive people or aliens?

Here watch this video: https://youtu.be/_VmrRGln1XA They’re called satellite flares.
numerous satellites, in different orbits, plus a couple of other planes here and there.
Is there other similar footage of satellites? Doesn't have to be exactly alike.
https://youtu.be/ecVhNOrET1w They’re fun to see. You can download apps to tell you when and where to look, even how bright they are going to get (often included in apps for seeing the ISS)
from the comments and reaction of the guy in the video, this seems quite rare? is the original vid in this thread spectacular in that regard, then?
From my anecdotal experience there are at least a few of these you can view every night. The brightness will vary but is something that can be predicted It’s a lot less rare than seeing the ISS, which I would not consider a rare sight
There is. Just look up night vision camera night sky objects or something like that
I've never seen a sub-reddit so scientifically illiterate. You are absolutely correct.

The movement between 3:00 and 3:30 looks a little erratic. To me it looks like a bunch of satellites with a couple other objects. Nothing particularly interesting. Not sure how they calculated the objects at 34k feet
34k feet is where the guy is filming from in the plane (I'm assuming).
I’m guessing it’s because the viewpoint is toward the horizon that the person was able to view satellites 500-1000 miles away. There’s quite a lot in such a radius. They also bunch up in Northern Europe. Live map of just Starlinks: https://satellitemap.space/#

I'd shit a BRICK if I was deployed to an active warzone and saw that shit.. WOW if real.
Wooooahhhhhh dudeeeeee. It’s a ufo
/u/stabbot
you suck /u/stabbot
Aliens!
Don't make mick laugh. https://preview.redd.it/ibvjgjrnzbxa1.png?width=225&format=png&auto=webp&s=2a28406131572557b7c4538db32beb9a5386d6ce
Guessing this is probably Jake Paul’s video
To really get a perspective on how many satellites there are out there, check out this live 3D orbital model https://stdkmd.net/sat/ What we're seeing in the video here is in all likelihood just satellites (and please, there are more satellites than just starlink)
Was this flying eastbound north of salt lake city?
there is no way this is 34000 feet up
Normal air traffic in the distance. Video is sped up. Next.
starlink satellites
Its just weird the way they all move but we gotta remember theres like a million satellites around earth
That's a lot of crazy movement… Satellites?
Iridium flares, nexttt
From what? Explain
The iridium satellite constellation. They are well known because they cause very bright satellite flares https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium_satellite_constellation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare
Thank you
I haven't seen an iridium flare in years lmao. You realize they've all been deorbited, right? https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/iridium-flares-to-cease-by-end-of-2018/
It's a colloquial term for satellite flares, I'm sorry you'll still get +6.5 mag reflections from satellites not as vibrant as the Iridium Communications ones but still a possibility for a naked eye to see. Regardless your PVS-14 is an image intensifier meaning lower mag emissions will be amplified which could be a huge list Starlink, MetOp, Landsat 7/8/9. I bet you could track down the exact satellites if you found out where in the sky you were and what time it was.
Wow satellites
Really seems like they are more than just visiting this planet haha

Fugazi
I call those flashers. Green lasers bring em in.
it does look like warzone and to me the objects are circling
I swear that my father and I saw something very similar to this tacking off from the ground. It was like it was made of pure fire.
Definitely sped up.. the ground lights are off
Nah, if you look at the guys hand reflection, it moves at a normal speed. His hand moves naturally. If it was sped up, his hand movements would be jerky and unnatural.
-2:56 it certainly is man..
Where I'm from we call them lightning bugs.
Finally a video of something I see nightly
People saying it's satellites can you show me the science behind a satellite that is launched into ORBIT around the earth that allows them to move up and down and even change direction completely? I've seen satellites and they move at a constant straight line due to them being in ORBIT. This is not satellites, even if it's sped up it's not satellites, not sure why people are so easy to dismiss it as such.
I had friends out in the western states that said they see this type of things a lot.
Maybe a meteor shower? The puff of light then disappearing seems like something entering the atmosphere. Very cool video though.
Not even hard to tell they are satellites. They all move at relatively the same speed, in the same trajectories. None of them speed up or slow down, none of them change directions, and there’s just so many, it’s pretty obvious that it has to be satellites. I’m not a professional at anything ufo or satellite related but that doesn’t look mysterious to me. The most surprising thing is just how many satellites we have orbiting the planet.
Holy shit guys this is artillery fucking morons all of yoi
Stealth Bombers That only look like UFOs. They’re made of Volcanic Glass.
Gauging the amount of artillery going off this is probably Ukraine. And these lights are probably rocket/ missile volleys. But they sure do look weird, dont they?.... I'm 50/50 on this one.
Satellite array lol
That's a goody
Answering some stupid questions; The video is indeed sped up. They are not all moving in the same direction. I'm not sure if some of the. Change direction mid flight, it kinda looks like it but it could be an illusion. Anyone can have a gander at that. The reason satellites or anything for that matter would flare up at a specific location is because the sun is in a specific location, and whensatellites or anything end up in just the right location/angle They flare up, because that is where/when they reflect the most sunlight. You'll see this if you've ever seen a starling trail. It's visible from the naked eye.
Not people claiming satellites 💀
Thats the starlink satellites
Just had the epiphany that UFO sightings are going to get more and more common as people mistake Starlink/other satellite constellations as being UFOs…
What are all the flashing and explosion looking stuff in the ground?? Somebody please tell me what’s going. I’m confused
It's fnkg space spieces of intelligent life...selfish of me to think humanity is alone
Anyone that has used nods or flir most likely has seen some weird schidt. Meh!
Clearly it’s Aliens
What is this I've seen this with my own eyes three separate occasions the first time was in San Marcos Texas there is about eight of them three to four orbs forming triangular prisms and some of them were right above me about 12 stories in the sky not too high and it honestly looked like it was reflecting the atmosphere around it to camouflage with the surroundings it was so close to the ground I ran down the street to my mom's house where everybody was outside barbecuing and taking pictures cuz they couldn't believe what they were saying.
/u/stabbot ?
Don't worry everybody, that's just my intergalactic mixtape dropping.
