WOKE UP IN THE DESERT AGAIN
You can go a whole lifetime without god dang celestial bodies and Sethafrican emerald heirs making GBS threads up your skies, blue-balling your sense of curiosity and wonderment week after week after week,

But here we are. Looshin' it up, shooting hot gobs of disappointment down the throat of some unknowable and unperceivable entity who thinks they're SO loving SMART.

Choke on it you freaks.

it's Jupiter and Venus. (Allegedly)

Yeah I took two pictures of it. Def not Venus since that's still currently below the horizon.

Like I said I think it's starlink.

I've seen planets in the sky before and they actually move at a fairly brisk pace. Slightly faster than the moon. Remaining stationary like that is sus

This story is the opener for the new episode of UFO Investigating the Unknown on Hulu. There's a picture too.

Edit: 7 minutes into the episode has a clip with the press telling Biden that Obama said there are things in the sky we don't know anything about. Biden says ask him again, laughs, and walks off. What a fuckin moron he looks like now after the last two weeks.

Looking it up I don't think Starlink had a launch today.
In any case that poo poo isn't in the sky anymore.

Huh, I figured it was this event? Homegirl checked her sky app and the two lights *appeared* to match pretty closely.

Again, wild to see Elizondo straightup say the government has recovered materials from crash sites on national television. I'm bummed that the series isn't longer, but man, what a loving refreshing break from the parade of History Channel horseshit.

I'll chuck it up to an error on Star Walk 2's part then because it wasn't showing Venus anywhere near Jupiter, and I used the app while facing the event.

That's why I chalked it up to Musk pollution (I've never seen Starlink irl).

Starlink moves pretty fast across the night sky. If it isn't moving it isn't starlink. Also, they are only in chains when they are first deployed, they eventually spread out more as they find their individual orbits.

Saw the exact same few days ago at dusk over Belgium. It looked like Venus and another planet.

The Earth is a farm. We are someone else’s Ford Focus.
Saw it when I got out my car tonight at 7PM or so (SF Bay Area, I think I saw it to the west) and sadly didn't think to point SkyView at it after looking at it for several seconds thinking "Is that a UFO? It's not moving...no, I'm sure it's not a UFO" and going inside.

SkyView does say at around 6:45PM Jupiter and Venus would have been visible to the west somewhere around there, boo.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
This may come a little too close to tootlin' my own dootlin' but that blog I posted t'other day is a really fun read and besides I didn't write it

Try the "The Metachorea" series if you've got nothing else to do (or if you're at work and don't want to do it, like myself)

Another +1 from a random goon on the excellent Nat Geo UFO series on Hulu. I've been watching it with my wife the past couple of weeks and she was absolutely shook when Lue said the US govt has materials recovered from crashes and even moreso when Nolan and Vallee were showing their bits and pieces.

This drat program should be free for everybody somewhere because it truly feels like a watershed moment. Perhaps I'm biased from watching Unsolved Mysteries every Wednesday night as a kid, and being fascinated at their reporting of the Belgium triangle flap, but I mean dammit! Why aren't more people concerned about this?

There are moments in my life that I can point at and say "Right there. Life changed here, I'm not the same after this day." The day my mom passed. The day my nana passed. And the day I saw that loving thing hovering over town while I was driving.

At this point I wake up every day and sometime, at some point in the day, I wonder if today will be the day we get absolute confirmation.

i watched the moon with jupiter+venus the other night and it was pretty cool and yeah those bodies are obv. moving relative to the rest of the night sky. if you view through some tree branches or another fixed point with some kind of foreground reference it's impossible to miss

i actually look at the stars now and have been for a while so it's pretty funny to think they could be mistaken for UAP, like 100% y'all need to be enjoying the sky if you can.

ofc when i return to the seattle area soon, there are basically no reliable views even when the light polution doesn't smother out the sky almost completely so it'll mostly be minding them by other means

still yall should know how to identify your planets and stars 100%
