Mysterious lights spotted over the US this weekend weren’t aliens… they were massive military formations

by ·

In today’s world, there’s often no shortage of interesting lights flickering in the dark skies above us at night.  Commercial airlines, military aircraft, and private pilots criss-cross the sky at all hours of the day and night.  High above them, satellites, spacecraft and even the International Space Station can occasionally be seen by the naked eye, not to mention the same celestial bodies that have drawn the attention of mankind since the days we first looked up and wondered what lies out there beyond our physical and cognitive reach.

But even with so many ordinary explanations for the strange lights we might spot overhead, every once in a while, we see something that defies those simple explanations.  Such was the case over the weekend, when reports began popping up all over the country, from Missouri to Utah, of what was either a single massive craft flying westward over the United States, or one hell of a formation.

    I'm in the Lexington, SC area. Plenty of reputable folks saw this flight. Many in the rural areas heard the aircraft as well as seeing them.

    I feel sorry for Krell if he comes down here with that pack of ciggs, YP! He'd have a lot better chance being accepted into society today as an ET than as a SMOKER!! (Horrors!) LOL! Thanks.

    Something tells me if it was aliens, they were having trouble finding intelligent life, especially after perusing social media. In all seriousness, aren’t most military aircraft engineered to be quieter then we may realize, even without stealth technology? A couple of years ago, I was Skyping with a friend who was deployed in Jalalabad (can’t spell), his B-hut was close to the helicopter landing and one powered up and took off while we kept chatting. The Heliport by my old house is a hell of a lot noisier.
