Just Airplanes?

Last night, I sat outside after dark. There was a lot of activity in the sky. Most were airplanes. We live near an airport so that is not surprising. I know what airplanes look like and sound like. Other lights were not easy to explain. What is that up there? Maybe it is not one of the big drones. Perhaps kids are joining the fun and sending their drones into the sky. The government wants you to think that those strange lights up there are airplanes but you can't recognize them. What do you think? Is everyone who sees those things misidentifying aircraft? Are we just conspiracy theorists? Have you seen anything strange in the sky?

They cannot all be airplanes. Airplanes do not hover. And helicopters have a distinctive sound.

I know what helicopters sound like. They do hover if they need to but I can hear the whop-whop of the rotors. Airplanes do not change directions and go up and down suddenly.

Yes, what is up with the drones? I haven't been looking up at the sky at night, but I've been told by others that they have seen them. Why doesn't the government explain honestly what is going on. Why do they keep everything secret from the American people? No wonder people mistrust the government.

I have not trusted the government since the Warren Commission came out. It was an insult to our intelligence. That was the day I grew up and knew the government could not be entirely trusted.

The government knows exactly what they are and what they are doing. But they are not going to tell us. They just going to continue to play dumb!

@akalinus You are right. They have a purpose. And it is not going to be good. Just a gut feeling.

Sometimes, I don't think they are playing.

Living near an airport, I am pretty sure you’d be able to tell the difference between typical airplanes and something more unusual

Yes, exactly. You do get to know the usual sights and sounds so you recognize something unusual or weird.

This is all very intriguing. I just hope we don't start seeing them here.

People don't see them in Australia? I wonder what the story is about that.

@akalinus We don't see many strange lights here that can't eventually be identified.

My belief is that the airplanes that were flying over your neighborhood could be drones.

I see a lot of airplanes around here. I also see helicopters going to accidents on the highways. I know what they look and sound like. I have seen big drones made by a kit flying over the park where I used to live. I wish them well and tell them not to drop in. But some things in the sky don't fit any of these patterns. What the heck are they?

Sounds like a plan. No one really knows what is going on. Maybe it will all fade away for the new year which is imminentt.

I don't know if they have a way to make them do that.

I think the drones are all military experiments. Have a good day.

I listened to a guy on YouTube this morning. According to him, the drones are sniffing around trying to find nuclear bombs that are missing from somewhere and headed for the USA. I hope that is just another theory. So, if it is true, yes they are ours. I don't know. The more I learn, the less I know.
