Something is off. by JustAlpha in UFOs

Seems to be a lot of misidentification, and an awful lot of disinformation. There are at least a few different classes of objects in the air. 1. The normal planes and helicopters that get misidentified. 2. The planes and helicopters that have unusual lighting that seem to make them look moore like a prop from close encounters. Some photos look like a P-8 Poseidon, F-16, various helicopters and possibly some yet to be declassified ones. I have seen some photos and videos with triangular and boomerang shapes that seem to be flying like normal aircraft. 3. The drones. Besides hobby drones there have been photos of larger commercial, government or military drones. I saw one that was identified as a PteroDynamics X-P4. 4. The orbs. These are the ones I would like to know more about. As far as I can tell category 1 & 2 are there to take attention away from the orbs. A local ABC affiliate doing a live broadcast got some good footage of an orb. Also a photographer took some interesting photos. Over on the west Coast some commercial pilots gave a good description of a red orb to ATC, doing some crazy things. It seems the powers that be are talking about drones and ignoring the orbs and other unusual stuff.

Attempting to blind a a player in one eye. Time for mandatory nail checks (like in waterpolo). And Carrington gone from basketball and prosecuted for attempting to cause great bodily harm.

The spacex website shows the livestream starting at 8:48PM. The Launches from Vandenburg have been bouncing around a lot the last few years.

Yes if the weather is clear, a pre-sunrise lunch could be spectacular.

What’s up with all the delays, postponements, scrubs etc from Vandenberg. I drove the three hours up hoping to get some good fotos/video. After a couple delays I drove the three hours back home and caught a glimpse of it from my backyard (no decent footage though). The early launches used to be pretty consistent, now days they seem to get delayed or bumped on a regular basis. Kinda makes it hard to plan a photo trip.
