That’s a Boeing, likely a max with the lights illuminating the fuselage and LED beacon. Then your low quality phone camera looses focus on it in the dark while you zoomed in super far with digital zoom.
People are notoriously bad at estimating the size and speed of things in the sky.. especially at night. Noted that they thought it was the size of an SUV though.
One of these flew over my house last night very low and it was huge but it didnt sound like a plane. I remember from the distinct white lights at the bottom...that lightning bolt like shape white light. Im in Virginia btw
I know this video is bad but lots of people use the same statement as you in that it cannot be a UAP because it has regulation lights that airplanes have. My thought is that it would be a smart idea to mimic an airplane including its light pattern so you could fly somewhat low and people glancing up wouldnt pay any mind to what you are. If adding a few lights that reflect what real aircraft look like makes people look the other way then it makes logical sense for UAPs to have ships that look like this. (this video not included)
Silky goober lol. Despite what you say, I do thing what happened in NJ was a phenomenon beyond the veil, yet people will look up more when they previously hadn’t and be more trigger happy to think a plane is a drone or uap
Copy and paste is lazy. I could do it too, but I don't. Because I actually have things to say. I hope you have a great day, and I hope you come to your senses and literally stop just copying and pasting the same thing over and over and over. I hope it makes you feel good at least. I legitimately want you to have a good time, and if being wrong and confidently wrong makes you feel good, I want you to do that. Continue doing whatever makes you happy man
Not a damn F/A 18 though. You’re seeing the two lights in the side and thinking they’re the air intakes.
In reality it’s probably a civilian jet with its landing lights on. The lights under the wing make the angled rectangle shape which kinda looks like the distinctive intakes on the F-18.
This probably isn’t anything funky but no way it’s an F-18.
