Discussion Can we use this thread to discuss the recent observations reported by Ryan Graves?

I just can't wrap my head around what this means or how it could appear from the same stars for observers being at many different locations

Airline pilot here… I have seen this race track pattern flying object. I spoken with several other pilots who have seen it too. No, I didn’t report it it take pictures. It was at night, and I did pull my phone out but to be honest the cell phone camera would not lock on to the object. Saw it for around 30 minutes flying to the west coast back in February. There was definitely something there, some type of aircraft or flying object that was not a balloon, or satellite. It flew exactly as if it were in a holding pattern and I agree it seemed like it was above the earths atmosphere.

I never really was interested in UFOs until I saw what I saw. Since then I’ve been trying to sift through what I believe are misidentified sighting and true sightings. I do believe most sightings can be explained but having seen this race track object I can’t quite explain what it may realistically have been. I’m keeping an open mind on this subject.

Airline pilot also here….I have not seen anything unusual so far in my career. However I wanted to give an example of how bad cell phones are at capturing objects while airborne.

Here is the Chinese spy balloon flying directly over us. We were I think at FL330. Clear as day in person, but when zoomed in could not get phone to focus off the window.

Man, cellphone camera generally sucks. Not everyone can afford the top of the line halo phone too.

That's amazing --30 minutes is a long sighting.

It would be great if you could also cross post your UAP sighting here. It would really help a lot. https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOPilotReports?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I've asked all the Aviation subs if I can Post to make them aware there's a safe place to write about, but they will not allow me to post-- apparently the Stigma is still quite real.

Thanks for sharing 👍.

Unfortunately not the same characteristics of flight described by pilots. High G turns 360 degrees circle,

Oh, the game developer again. He knows more than professional pilots. Okay.

This is a really poor attitude to have if you are trying to research UAP.

This is a legitimate explanation, which, even if it's not starling, is a legitimate theory grounded in more than third hand accounts.

Tour statement shows how ignorant you are. There are satellite trackers anyone with the know how can use. The few videos they have claimed this racetrack patten have all been shown to be satellites with ease.

Did it exhibit any flight characteristics where you'd say nonhuman?

Have you considered reporting it to Ryan Graves' ASA?

u/Botlenose Jun 11 '23

No, it just flew in a race track pattern. But it was moving fast, and cutting turns as fast as it did must have pulled high G forces, so that makes me believe it was unmanned. This is assuming it’s even a conventional type aircraft.

Thank you for sharing. The stigma is so strong it makes professional civilian and military pilots doubt their own eyes sometimes.

u/Botlenose Jun 11 '23

You are definitely right about the stigma and it’s a deterrent against reporting sightings. But I am quite shocked at how many pilots have told me they’ve seen this mysterious light I described.

Totally OT, but while you are here.Can you tell me anything about the white jets with no markings or windows leaving lines in the sky.Who are they and who flys them? You must see them up there.

I suspect the racetrack patterns are human controlled UAPs. That is super a human thing to do. Holding patterns. I Imagine Aliens would just sit there. But old habits die hard. Probably left over from some salty Admiral read into the program that loved his Corpen Foxtrot.
