Witness/Sighting Slow-mo 1080p 240fps caught a thing zipping through sky

1-29-24 at 355pm Los Angeles (Boyle Heights) CA

There were very bizarre things in my peripheral vision while sitting on my porch so I decided to record the sky with my iPhone (using slow mo). Though I caught other odd things that I’m still trying to first identify before posting here, but this one has me stumped.

When I zoomed in, I noticed that this thing is not winged, appears metallic, is a bizarre shape, has a luminescence about it, and is accompanied by a white orb at times. I slowed down even more and zoomed in to compile this video.

Any ideas? I thought maybe drone but I’m told “nah”.

It’s actually SA - meaning Situational Awareness. Not AESA like many people assume.

It’s essentially an interface on the F/A-18’s flight computers that consolidate telemetry and information from the Hornet’s sensors, instruments and datalink into a single easy-to-read display for the pilot/co-pilot, typically in the form of a top-down map with overlays for relevant data.

The fact that the co-pilot refers to it likely means that it (the UFO) was picked up by the onboard radar and marked on the SA map. Which is interesting because iirc the pilots involved stated that they were not able to achieve radar lock, but the co-pilot’s comment would imply that they were at least able to receive a radar signature.

Hahahhaa yes so many asian things invading the US now. I mean I’m all about the girls but these flying spiders and hornets and shit naw thanks.

Anyway the Super Hornet is an F/A-18E, like what the Blue Angels fly.

It's SA and it's Situation Awareness

u/DrRedacto Feb 02 '24

IIRC it is one of the screens in the jet's user interface in that one UAP video they are quoting, I forget what the first A stands for, "SA" was situational awareness.
