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.

Nothing can be impossible these days. The mystery lights and sounds you saw in the sky might be spy drones or other enemy activities. Here also drones spotted in the sky at our eastern boarders.I don't know why these things are not shot down.

Our government shot down a Chinese spy balloon after it traveled across the country. But, they won't do anything about these enemy drones.

@Shivram59 Our government says the drones are just airplanes. I think they are drones sent by an adversary or they might even be alien craft.

@akalinus I support what your government did. Spy drones must be shot down; otherwise your country's security and safety will be in danger.

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.

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.

@JudyEv, how do you know that some of them are not drones? When I was a kid, I saw strange lights when we were out in the desert. They were not airplanes. I don't know if there were any drones yet.

@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?

@Deepizzaguy There is no way we can know for sure. I don't know who the drones belong to. Are they our government, adversary government, project Bluebeam, or space aliens? Someone claimed to see them coming out of the ocean. I hope that's not true.

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

@rakski Something unusual happened a couple of days ago. I heard a helicopter. I looked up and saw it was huge, and the rotors were not turning. It was still flying, and it looked like a helicopter. It was white, not like a drone. The rotors were not going whop-whop, which disturbed me a lot.

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

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 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.

@LindaOHio They probably will find out but it might not be in our lifetime.

@akalinus I don't know about the nuclear bomb theory. We will probably never know the truth.

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 report 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.

I have not felt safe since this mess started. I don't know who is up there or why they are there. We live in strange times and they are getting stranger.
