I’ve just seen something weird in the sky.

[WeGotCows]

Ddog is unsettled so took her out for a sniff in the garden.

It’s incredibly starry tonight, can see Andromeda Galaxy without binoculars.

As I was looking up at the sky an object blocked out stars and travelled very quickly across the sky, kind of below and parallel to Cassiopeia, east to west.
It had no lights, no noise, just a speedy thing that I only saw because i happened to be looking in the exact right place and it’s so clear tonight.

I have no eye conditions, so nothing medical to explain this.
It was too big and quick to be an owl or bat or any flying creature.

In terms of size, compared to a typical aeroplane size in the sky it was much bigger and rounder.

It was a ufo wasn’t it!

@timetodecide2345 "Basically there are alien bodies stored"

Do you have. Source?

Starlink?

Father Christmas obviously

One problem is it’s notoriously difficult to judge distances and therefore object sizes at night, especially when it comes to airborne objects.

Secondly whilst I gather the wind over the UK is meant to generally be a westerly ATM at very low level it can be swirling around and the direction can be very variable and unpredictable.

The flying rubbish idea (plastic sheet or similar) might be unlikely, who knows, but it’s not completely out of the question..

I’ve just seen something weird in the sky.

Was it this ☀️ OP?

If you know where you’re looking it’s a faint blur. If you have a night sky app you can find it, the large point of Cassiopeia almost points to it.

Sometimes you can see it better if you don’t look directly at it.

I was standing in my garden facing east (ish), the wind was strongly blowing south west (ish) in gusts.

It could have been rubbish I suppose, but it was going against the wind and wasn’t moving in gusts, as I’d expect it to.

My DH is a UAP nut and watches all the Congress videos and new sightings videos daily.

There have been so many lately! It's quite unnerving!

I’m very near to RAF Leeming so have heard a lot of night flying recently, it’s loud!

This made no noise at all.

There really have!
it really seems to have ramped up
in the last couple of weeks 😱

@CurlewKate just type David Grusch congress into you tube and watch him being interviewed

My dog woke me up 1am, I think he was disturbed by the wind. Didn't see a UFO but was amazed when I went into garden never seen such a starry sky! I've recently had cataracts removed both eyes, didn't think they were that bad but now realise that I hadn't seen stars clearly for years.

It normally doesn't get properly dark where I live in Essex but it was last night...hope it's the same tonight will be prepared with warm clothes and binoculars.

“Sometimes you can see it better if you don’t look directly at it.”

Absolutely, and not just sometimes. At night, colors are less visible, so you’re seeing primarily with the rods (or is it the cones?) which are more numerous towards the perimeter of your retina…

So when it’s dark you always see objects better if you look just off of, and not directly at them.

That’s so interesting! I hadn’t realised there was a physiological reason for this!

I have an iPhone 11, any distance photo or video is a blurry mess. Night photography is a non starter!

Most phones don’t have the capability to capture clear distance images.

We’re currently in a situation where a blurry photo is not convincing but a clear photo is AI. I suppose we’ll never know until we see it with our own eyes.

As for last night, I don’t know what I saw, but I know I couldn’t have filmed it on my phone at all, it wouldn’t have shown anything up. A less clear night and I wouldn’t have seen it either.

I know someone who used to release weather balloons for the Met Office. There was a direct correlation between UFO sightings and the release of the balloons. Make of that what you will! The night sky is full of stuff flying around and my bet would be that it has a human origin. Which is in a way more worrying than if it were some friendly aliens come to gaze in horror at the mess we are making of our planet.

We know there are other dimensions, and we know time doesn't exist in the way we interpret it, so these are probably tourists from the future visiting to observe us like we observe zoo animals. To them, we're probably primitive stone age humans.

Interesting article from SETI about David Grusch. www.seti.org/truth-out-there-ufo-whistleblower-likely-doesnt-have-it

@CurlewKate like I said people will interpret all of this in different ways but at the end of the day there's an awful lot of people witnessing an awful lot of strange things. I'm inclined to think as humans we are not quite as clever as we think we are at understanding our place in this universe.

I’d agree very much with you last sentence but people have been supposedly witnessing strange things since at least the early fifties….but as an pp said despite the explosion in carriage of cameras in various devices there’s stuff all credible imagery out there in the public domain (credible being the important word).

Another major issue is as the scientists who study human performance will tell you we are pretty much all, across the board, fairly bad at being genuinely objective observers, for example there’s a tendency to fit what you think you’ve seen into your model of either what you want to see, expect to see or been briefed to see.

I had never heard of this Starlink but was on holiday last year on a rooftop bar when it came overhead, I was CONVINCED it was an alien ship, I was so excited, am devastated that it wasn't them😆

Have a look at the Nimitz and Kimble video clips. I give more weight to phenomenon caught on multiple military tracking than I do Jo bloggs with his iPhone

That would me my guess. There’s video on YouTube of them in the Netherlands which matches this description. Then again, who knows!

If you see a Starlink “train” shortly after the satellite constellation has been deployed it can certainly trigger a bit of a “Close Encounters” sensation, especially if you weren’t expecting to see the display..

Of course Starlink doesn’t fit as explanation for what the Op saw..

I’ve seen starlink several times, it definitely wasn’t that.

There have been depictions of UFOs in old artwork, so whatever these things are have been around for hundreds of years.

There was recently an article about plasma in the atmosphere, which behaves in a way that makes it look like it’s alive and can interact in ways we couldn’t have imagined. I’ve seen this an explanation of foo fighters (the WW2 phenomenon, Dave Grohl is still believed to be human).

There’s so much we don’t know.
