UFO's... What do you think?

Are you people?

Makes you think how small we are.

Indeed my friend. I sometimes wonder if Earth is actually the size of a grain of sand in the grand scheme of things.

I have about 4000 hrs of flying time in the USAF. Never saw anything though I wish I would have.

Ever read Horton Hears a Who?

As some folks have mentioned seeing things in the sky that they think might be satellites, well, here's an excellent website that can tell you probably what you are looking at.

Heavens-Above

If you put in your time and location, it will tell you about many satellites, space junk, rocket boosters, etc... how bright they are, where and when they will appear in the sky in your location. Just plain great fun. If you're going to be outdoors on a clear evening, print out a sheet for those hours and enjoy! :thumbsup:

Something my daughter and I do is find the objects that rotate as they travel across the sky. As the reflective surface spins, you see a flash then nothing. A bit further over in the sky, you see another flash, then nothing. Count the seconds between the flashes and look in the general direction of travel and sure enough, flash, flash, flash. Some are very bright.

Another interesting is iridium flares...

Have fun!

I like when they stop or change direction.:thumbsup:

Thank you for your service!!

Has any of your fellow pilots ever seen anything?
