Did I see a UFO? And another strange event.

@TheHorse I don't know what they were, and I wasn't the only one who saw them.

@BarBaraPrz Did people get pictures?

it sounded like a Red Light District for me. LoL

@TheHorse It was a derby shaped dark colored UFO. Saucer type I guess you might say. Didn't notice any lights or windows. However, I am quite different on what I think these UFO's and aliens from other planets are. I believe they are the fallen angels/demons that were cast out of heaven and fell to the earth. You would find that info in the Bible. I also believe that some of them could be good angels as well. I could go on and on and on about that but won't in this space. As for that specific UFO, it definitely was not any kind of airplane as it was hovering and wasn't a helicopter as it had no rotor blades. Back in 1971 there were not a lot of options for what it could have been if man-made. It was close enough for me to see it clearly. I mean not much higher up than a tall tree and just across the street from me.

Heh. Me too. What's your current hypothesis as to what it was?

@capirani How big did it appear to be?

It's usually a dime here. But I actually think I have seen five cents before.

@TheHorse I've seen a dime or more, which is most common, but I've literally seen one or two cents.

@kaylachan I rarely, if ever, see one or two cents here.

@TheHorse The orbits and trajectories of satellites depends on what their purpose or mission is. Some move across the sky in relation to the earth, some stay stationary. For example, most weather satellites are in an orbit that will keep them stationary relative to the earth, so that they can record and report data on specific geographic areas. My first thought was that I was seeing a stationary weather (or maybe spy) satellite, but then I truly wonder if they can be seen in the sky during the daytime?

@moffittjc Ah, good info. I was wondering if one could have a satellite orbit such that it was above a particular place on earth.

I don't know either! Don't most satellites move in relation to the earth?

@TheHorse yes. You know. As in UFOs might hover.

@MarshaMusselman Yes, I got it.

I am kind of clueless. Should I focus in on "hovering"?

@wardfcsc or we can blame it on the Chinese for spying on America secretly.

I've never seen UFO. It's only seen in America. I wonder why aliens love appearing in the sky of America

@mildredtabitha See, that's what I'm thinking too. I suspect it was their government secret project.

@TheHorse ........How interesting. I watch a lot of stuff about UFOs on TV.

Heh. I was just driving away in the night.

@TheHorse None that I know, but what we have seen that night was fascinating.

Interesting. Are there hypotheses as to why?

The Goodyear blimp?

@TheHorse I don't think that blimp ever made it to Latvia,

They're up abut 30 cents from their low here.

@TheHorse Gas prices are going up daily it seems. I didn't see the price today. Yesterday it was $2.99. It's up from $2.64 just a few days ago.

How did they describe them?

@TheHorse Flashing lights approaching really fast then suddenly veering up over the car and disappearing into the distance. They didn't take about it for years as they thought no-one would believe them.

Sounds a bit scary!

@TheHorse I wish I had a camera or a tape recorder to take pictures of what might have been a government plane checking out the open area in the grass that was damaged by the hurricane.

Does Friedman talk about where he thinks they come from?

@TheHorse "Friedman hypothesized that UFOs may originate from relatively nearby sunlike stars. A piece of evidence that he often cited concerning this hypothesis is the 1964 star map drawn by alleged alien abductee Betty Hill during a hypnosis session, which she said was shown to her during her abduction. Astronomer Marjorie Fish constructed a three-dimensional map of nearby sun-like stars and claimed a good match from the perspective of Zeta Reticuli, about 39 light-years distant. The fit of the Hill/Fish star maps was hotly debated in the December 1974 edition of Astronomy magazine,[11][12] with Friedman and others defending the statistical validity of the match." Wikipedia. Friedman defended his research based on scientific inquiry.

Are they off of their highs?

@TheHorse Maybe. I don’t know.

You must live in an area where gas is cheap.

I am glad Biden is drilling away.

@TheHorse As of today,m yes it down from its peak.

Is it down from its peak?

Glad it's low there.
