    Some people posted video of “unknown light in the sky” a few times, which happens regularly, but somehow it caught enough attention that everyone started looking at the sky.

    It turns out that many people do not recognize a plane, or Venus, or a SpaceX launch, or a Chinese lantern, or whatever because now they’ve been led to expect to see something mysterious.

    Debunker Mick West posted on YouTube showing how one famous video actually showed lights on a hillside, by lining up the image with Google Street view.

    A few sightings do seem unusual, but many are just flashing lights moving over cities that happen to have busy airports.

      You’re ignoring what started all this and keeps going on, the unknown drones that have been hovering for hours over military bases and assets?

        I found two things about drones and military bases

        1. Drone spotting went viral and it led to reports of drones around military bases, freaking people out. However the military stated this is normal activity and that this stuff has been happening for years.

        2. Reports of drones over 17 bases near Chinese business owned farmland. A scary sounding story about communist China spying on our bases. But drones over / near bases isn’t rare and the army alone has like 100 bases in the country.

        And the military can shoot down and disable drones in their airspace. Apparently their main problem is things falling outside their jurisdiction and then local police being shit.
