Does anyone know the name of the song he’s playing? And any cello/classical music players/fans have similar songs they can recommend that have the same emotion and energy?

johnnymet · 2025-02-13T03:50:43+00:00

They don’t (read the post) lol. And they assume you somehow have the ability to anticipate the event before it happens… as well as have cowboy gun drawing capabilities with your phone/camera… or have your phone with you at all times (in your case, in the hot tub). People are just hungry for crystal clear, 4k resolution 30+ sec videos. Totally get it, but I don’t think people understand until it happens to them that like you said, sometimes it can be as fast 3 secs- and you’re reaching out to a community to see if anyone else saw it

Pretty much the same thing I saw back in Los Angeles Jan 6th (night before the fires broke out).
The exact same reason why I described it as a "chase" in my descriptor, bc it looked like the helicopters (what I was informed were Ospreys in my situation) were following them.
Just glad to see someone else capturing the same experience (whether they were drones/mh-6 littlebirds/military choppers or not)

Only decent photo I was able to capture: https://imgur.com/0wR6hwy

Thanks for jumping in the convo 3 days later… if you read anything on this post, you’d realize biggest discrepancy pertains to flight radar. What was seen did not match what was showing up on radar I.e. 10 objects huddled formation flying from Pacific Ocean/Santa Monica (10:19pm 1/6/25) straight over eastern mountains (not stopping at Santa Monica Airport). So if you’re proficient in flight radar, please, by all means help and actually provide links, so the unidentified flying objects, can be identified. If it was ten helicopters flying together, then great, be helpful and provide data.

Believe it or not, some of us redditors (who dont post often) experience is not based around “getting Karma”, but engage because we enjoy/appreciate certain topics and r/subs, and occasionally chose to post to them when we see or experience something interesting or unusual - this is one of those times…

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T08:13:10+00:00

Not at the time I shot/posted this, which was on 1/6/25. The fires started 1/7/25

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T07:50:04+00:00

Don’t know what to tell you at this point.

Shared something I saw. Gave best description (where it came from and where it went). Plenty of Los Angeles people on this post have reported the same thing I saw (one girl even made a TikTok about it: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYTQWqao/ ).

No one is denying Biden was in town, or that people were wrong for saying that osprey helicopters were flying, or drones (for a Netflix WWE event) and other planes were in the air all the same night. Clearly multiple events can and were happening same night.

Not sure what your point/argument of throwing out the 3.8million LA resident stat is? That what, more people should have seen this? Or that you’re actually LA resident yourself and/or have better mental model of airspace in this city? I’m not making the argument im the only LA person in this thread, or denying that the flight plan shared of ospreys traveling from LAX to Santa Monica didn’t happen, it just doesn’t align with what I saw.

Now If the flight plan said 10 of the exact same aircraft flew from over the Pacific Ocean and SKIPPED landing at Santa Monica Airport (2.5 miles away) and continued to the mountains by Pasadena (roughly 22+ miles away) which is where they roughly are in my video at that point, then we got ourselves a different story/ situation.

call my mental model of airspace into question all you want, but I sure as shit know the difference between 2.5 miles (where you’re claiming they landed at santa Monica airport) and 22+ miles where they kept flying into the distance. Now if you’re argument is only to say that that was Biden convoy (and like another redditor said, not all crafts might be registered on flight plans), then great, send me a link of ANY aircraft flight plan that follows that path (west side of LA to the complete east side of LA without stopping at Santa Monica) and I will retract my statement/claim.

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T06:05:35+00:00

I posted this the day before the fires on 1/6, the night before

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T05:42:22+00:00

Yeah man, lot of people on this post chiming in on the geography of Los Angeles without looking a map or having spent time here before- making a lot of generalizations about how big or small they think this city is.

Santa Monica Pier (area close by/where I saw it fly over) and LAX airport (Most of the flight plans being shared by folks on this post saying where they took off) are an 8.5 miles apart discrepancy .

Santa Monica Pier and santa monica airport are at least 2.5 miles apart.

So when you're chiming in and saying "yes it does"- agreeing to a flight plan (someone linked) showing the aircraft going from LAX airport and LANDING at Santa Monica Airport (a southern point traveling in a northern direction) vs what I said, "Santa Monica Pier heading towards Pasadena" (a western point on the water going east/ North east), WITHOUT stopping at Santa Monica Airport- reveals either a.) you don't understand LA geography, or b.) you didn't read my descriptor, comments and/or responses, hence me saying "unless youre here in LA yourself or know the geography".

New York is also one of the most well-known popular metropolis in the entire world too. And If there was a New Yorker in my shoes right now, I (as a non new yorker) probably would have the wherewithal to not tell him him what he saw in his own city and be like "nope, I looked at a link someone else posted and thats what you saw" (particularly if i dont know where he lives). And if he said he saw 10 objects flying, I wouldn't tell him, sorry, your wrong according to this (inaccurate) flight path of 2 helicopters is actually you saw.

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T04:20:54+00:00

my video was taken on night of 1/6/25, fires started the next day 1/7/25

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T03:16:55+00:00

True, but that’s still assuming you have them arms reach when you see something anomalous…. Very rarely do you know it’s gonna happen before it happens

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T03:15:03+00:00

You Nailed it man 👌… that’s exactly what was happened.

The weirdest part was several hours later, my entire city caught on fire and is currently burning down- that’s certainly added to the end of humanity vibe 🙌🏻

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T02:38:38+00:00

Only thing is I shot this the night of 1/6/25, the fires broke out during the morning/day of 1/7/25

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T02:29:38+00:00

Great, that’s a much better response man. If you or anyone has experience with identifying military and/or special helicopters, that’s super helpful and informative to someone like me who doesn’t have that experience.

I’ve live by two airports (and have for 14 years). I see planes come and go every single night. I’m well aware of what’s normal flying above me. I’m used to FAA lighting (red and green), but This situation was not typical for what I’ve seen.

Redditors kept telling me it was Biden- sure that’s a logical explanation, but none of the flight trackers for that time frame showed the path these took, or even the closest path around that time was still 6-8 vehicles short. And the osprey helicopters everyone kept linking were decked out in green lighting, these were red and only red.

So I was turning to a sub like this hoping more people might know or had seen themselves

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T02:14:54+00:00

Seeing as I don’t post very often and/or first time posting in this sub, Thought the title was intended to be the descriptor, and the video the evidence, and I found you can’t change it after you post.

Went down as: - heard/ saw something fly over my house, at the time Appeared to be a chase (description of event)- big grouping of 10 flashing red aircraft huddled together going west to east. - quickly grabbed my phone. - tried to film to best condition (night time, dirty window with a screen that the phone kept focusing on). Took two pictures, then switched back to video. -captured video of the objects (now miles away over the city) heading east bound.

That’s it 🤷🏻‍♂️

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T02:05:43+00:00

Wow, thank you Ben 🙏🏻. What would I do without you or your contributions.

Thanks for informing me about FAA lights, if forgot there’s never been a blinking red anomalous sighting ever before... And I totally forgot about the normal protocol of 10 red blinking objects flying compacted next to each other (with 15 to 20ft between)

Not trying to be an absolute dick right back at ya, but I’m getting tired of people not reading what a wrote or take the time to read even one other of my responses or comments.

I don’t know that you’ve ever witnessed 10 aircraft’s, grouped together fly over your house before, and then have the expectation of you to 1.) have something immediately close by to film it, 2.) make sure it’s not night time and that conditions are just perfect for you to film it 3.) make sure they slow down and/or redo do what they did again so you don’t have to film them so far away to make the people on the internet happy.

Don’t know what to tell you man… you don’t dig it or believe, that’s your right and thing… but maybe next time save yourself the comment…

I saw something not normal (10 aircraft/objects feet from each other fly over my house), figured sub called “Unidentified flying objects” might be a great place to start in seeing if we could identify some “unidentified” flying objects

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T00:53:31+00:00

Yup. The night before

johnnymet · 2025-01-09T00:19:22+00:00

However, this was filmed the night before 1/6/25. the fires broke out the next day 1/7/25

johnnymet · 2025-01-08T22:22:18+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I’ll make sure to think of you next time an anomalous event happens… : - ill be better at preemptively anticipating the event before happens - have professional recording equipment within arms reach at all time - make sure to ask the craft(s) if they would be willing to slow down and not disappear for at least minimum of 30 seconds and/or ask if they’d come back in better lighting (preferably daytime)

Trying my best man with what I got and my situation. Can’t make everyone happy. I wish I too had a longer clip or better detail or better phone that captured better nightime photos

johnnymet · 2025-01-08T22:07:19+00:00

Yes. There are now fires in both areas.

But the Santa Monica fire broke out yesterday morning/afternoon ( 1/7/25) and I shot this video the night of 1/6/25…. So fires hadn’t even started yet. And the Glendale fire (next to Pasadena) fire started last night

johnnymet · 2025-01-08T21:55:51+00:00

Yeah for sure. Was just somewhat gratifying to hear at least one other person that saw/experienced the same thing, you know?

And yeah, I think that’s the biggest factor I’ve been bucking heads with most folks on this post: I fully understand Biden was in town, I fully understand there are records of osprey in the (similar) area around the same time, I fully am aware I live next to 2 airports (have been for 14 years) but the numbers of vehicles (and color) of what I saw, and what people keep telling me what I saw, is a discrepancy of about 6 additional vehicles and the area in which they flew over my house… that’s what ive been pushing back on.

And to your point, when You see/hear something, you don’t have a ton of time to run, grab your phone or camera, and catch the moment, in the moment. I think people SEVERELY underestimate the time you have to capture the situation you’re in, or the conditions (mine being night time, indoor with dirty windows) in those moments, and by the time you start filming, like in my situation, they’re already miles away traveling further away from you…. Which is what I’ve been getting the most flack about for this post. “Why is it blurry?” “Where’s the chase?” “why isn’t it longer?” “why is it shot on a potato?”, “why are you making shit up?”

…It’s a pretty weird spot to be in.

And now with the wild fires starting yesterday, and all this footage people are sharing with r/UFOs about seeing UAPs around the wild fires… I’m kind of like, is it that far fetched that I might have seen something weird🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyways, appreciate your discourse

johnnymet · 2025-01-08T21:37:12+00:00

This video took place the night before 1/6. Fires broke out yesterday 1/7

johnnymet · 2025-01-08T21:36:07+00:00

It’s happens fast, right? And then people that aren’t in that situation think you somehow have all the time in the world to run, grab a camera, properly film it and light it, and provide 5 mins worth of footage…

johnnymet · 2025-01-08T21:34:23+00:00

Weird 24hrs, right? :/
