SOMETHING IS HAPPENING

Airports aren’t getting shut down for no reason. People aren’t reporting strange things every day for no reason. The fuckin government isn’t out hunting down the “drones” and not able to offer any clear answers on what they are and why they’re here for no reason

u/Aquatic_Ambiance_9 14d ago

The "just planes" narrative reeks of classic "weather balloon" style disinfo. This serves two purposes: A, it gets people to distrust their own eyes and ears, and B, it gives people a chance to act smug and superior over "those idiots hysterical over planes". If this mentality catches on en masse, the phenomena is thus dismissed through sheer social pressure

No. These aren't UAP they are UFOs. Nothing anomalous about their behaviour.

Also this video doesn't even show evidence that they are stationary (as the cameraman keeps proclaiming) -- they could be moving towards the camera from a distance with a headlight pointing in their direction.

Did they get out flight tracker and verify that there were no aircraft in the direction they were pointing their camera (miles away for example)?

They might be stationary. They might be drones. They might also be ordinary aircraft. This is just another inconclusive data point

The footage was captured from the top of the Union Station parking garage, which is opposite the capitol building from the airport. At night, distant planes with their lights on can look like they are standing still. One of the lights looked like it may have been a military helicopter, which is not uncommon around the capitol, considering Marine One is the preferred mode of transport over motorcade for the president.

The no fly zone for drones is 10 mile radius which extends past crystal city. This is only for for us peons though. Commercial flights to national get waivers and obviously military.

Yeah they are full of shit. Those are helicopters, they fly 24/7 and the airspace is loaded with commercial and military craft. Only over certain sensitive sites is there a no fly zone and its only a flight ceiling, so you can still sly over at altitude, just not below a certain threshold. Not sure what it is now but when I was stationed out there I believe it was 1,200 feet limit over the whitehouse and dod.

It's a hundred percent planes. The potomac river is behind the capital which is the flight path for Ronald Reagan Intl. Airport. I have a flight path for Intl. Airport by my house and I guess I am just used to seeing this but I am also one who looks up constantly and likes to plane spot. It's almost as if people just never paid attention before so now they are freaking out when they see planes which can look different at night. Also depending what angle you are looking at them because you will see different patterns of lights based on the angle. They can also appear to be flying slow or hovering especially at night when there is less of a refrence point.

I live a mile from a small airfield and 30 miles from a major international airport, so I see a lot of different types of air traffic from big jetliners to small private planes, helicopters, balloons and even bizarre stuff like powered parachutes. As much as I’m used to seeing all these things, every once in a while something at night will look weird at first and I perk up and keep watching but then it gets closer or turns and it becomes obvious what it is. I think a lot of people are having that first moment of “wait what is that” but don’t understand how normal things look at different distances and perspectives.

A frightening amount of Americans don't know one of the following (or all 3): The moon orbits the earth, the sun is a star, the moon is sometimes visible during the day.

I've encountered these people. "The sun is a star????" Their brains are going haywire as they try to understand it. Grown adults, otherwise successful people too.

Is it the education system? Lack of curiosity? I think part of it is also that so many people live in cities and suburbs now so there's almost no visible stars. If you're in a place with little light pollution, you're naturally going to look up at the night sky more often because it's beautiful.

It is most likely planes landing at Ronald Reagan Intl. Airport. The flight path is right behind the capital over the potomac river. When planes at night are flying right at you with their landing lights on it looks exactly like this and they will appear to be hardly moving almost hovering. I know this sub is sick of everyone saying planes but the problem is a lot these of videos are planes. People need to be checking flight radar. It needs to be a requirement you post time and location and a screen shot of flight radar or something because it's getting ridiclous. I want the truth as much as anybody but claiming every light in the sky is a drone or UAP is not helping.

This looks like the view of the capitol from Union station.

Meaning the view is facing south.

Guess what’s south of the capitol?

Ronald Reagan International Airport.

Edit: assuming I’m right, this likely means the lights are at least 10 miles away from the camera.

The capitol is about 0.5 miles from Union Station

I’m just adding this as a frame of reference. It’s incredibly difficult to gage where and what an object is when all you see is light

Looked like it was floating there for 5 minutes. It was just a fucking plane coming dead on… Looked exactly the same as those lights. They are bright af.

I've lived near various airports at different times throughout my life. Flight paths can be very weird-looking.

Bingo! And why don't they appear to be moving? Bc the runway is north south oriented, as is union station to the US Capitol.

It’s so predictable at this point. More “orbs” that are landing lights. And another shot pointing right at an airport.

19

u/RW8YT 14d ago

yes, planes these days land (for the most part) with something called ILS, instrument landing system. They tune to a specific frequency, and input some basic information (barometer readings from atc) and it lines up the approach vector, and lands a perfect glidescope every time.

90% of these “ufo” videos I have seen have just been planes lining up to land like this.

3

u/YoloWingPixie 14d ago

ILS isn't really relevant. Any aircraft with VNAV and doing any precision approach (Whether it be RNAV, ILS, VOR, etc) will follow a specific descent angle will generally appear to end up in a conga line with the aircraft around it because it's doing the most efficient descent possible for the restrictions of approach. Additionally, pretty much every major airport uses Standard Terminal Arrival Routes or STARs to coordinate how aircraft get from their cruising routes (which btw are also on marked jetways) to the approach.

The concept of aircraft following each other and appearing coordinated with each other is a thing we've been doing since radio navigation in the 1940s. It's not new, people just don't look up.

4

u/Koboldofyou 14d ago

This video was taken from just north of Union Station in Washington DC. If you draw a line from that point to the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, it will pass just to the side of the capital building. What is special about the bridge? It’s directly under the final approach path for runway 01 at Reagan National Airport (DCA).

You’re seeing airplanes landing at DCA. They’re flying nearly directly at the camera so they look stationary. A 20 minute time lapse will show probably 10 or so of these lights follow the same path.

Occasionally a few may step off to the side as they circle to land on runway 33. But it’s rare.

Yeah, this is accurate. I made a map here in my comment on UFOB. This is one of the most heavily regulated airspaces and approach patterns in the world and is very recognizable to anyone familiar with DCA's approach and final. https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOB/comments/1heg4yu/comment/m23uc34/

That's a cool map.

u/capron 14d ago

The flagpoles are a great reference. It's obvious that they are moving because the flagpoles are aligned much differently every time the camera comes back to the alleged UFOs

u/Puzzleheaded-Rub3980 14d ago

I can vouch for this. I thought I saw "drones" because the lights were stationary like that. I even checked flight radar and didn't see anything around me. BUT when I zoomed out on flight radar I could see planes. They were literally 60km away but their landing lights were on and it was a clear night so that is why they were visible at such a great distance. I was able to figure they were all headed for an airport behind me. The lights hung in the air for literally 10 minutes before they finally came close enough for me to see the blinking anti collision lights and realize they were planes. FWIW I absolutely 100% believe in the drones in NJ and I believe in aliens. I just do actually think this looks like planes from maybe 20km away headed for an airport right behind the person recording this.

It’s not that I don’t think this is possible, but I guess I would like to see a 20 min time lapse then

What did you do to eliminate them being planes, did you check flightradar? They just look like planes flying towards your direction to me.

Head on plane coming in from a distance?

u/ModernT1mes 14d ago

They're definitely moving, albeit slow, so it could be head on.

Look at the footage at 9 seconds and look at them in relation to the flags. Then fast forward to the last 2 seconds of the video and look at them again in relation to the flags. They've moved from left to right.

Looks like planes on approach to me. Depending on the angle you’re view them from it sometimes can look like they’re not moving

If half your idiotic country paid attention to the moron that ran for President as much as you all freak out about technology that every 12 year old has, well you wouldn’t be the stupidest people in the world. As this post demonstrates.

If I were an American citizen, I’d be embarrassed and want to live elsewhere.

I hope they don’t because they’re just airplanes on approach, so doing anything other than landing would be bad news for the passengers.

Video taken on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the US capitol building. took the video at around 1045pm ET tonight. we saw an object below the clouds with erratic movements. wasn’t a plane, and wasn’t a star/planet as it was under the clouds. it eventually went behind the clouds but we observed it for a solid 10 minutes.
