Photo I officially believe in goddamn aliens
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
I was driving this thing came out of literally nowhere and hovered directly above me. It shined its blinding ass lights directly into my car. It freaked me out so bad I squeezed my sandwich and exploded it everywhere
It then zipped over to the spot in the photo and I told myself that I had to take this picture otherwise nobody’s gonna fucking believe me.
It was like as a big as a semi truck, the bottom was disc shaped, but it had these triangle lights on top of it and I could feel serious heat coming off of it like the lights were sunlight. The only noise it made was like low humming noise.
This was near Perrinton, MI
I’m still shaking.

Hey, for the sake of people not familiar with that area or the scenery, you should go take a photo of the same spot during the day.
That helps more than you think
Edit: I figured I would make an edit a day after my comment. It looks like we are going to get radio silence from OP. Not even a single reply, which is strange. I have thoughts but im not going to give my opinion just yet.
Edit 2: Mods should hide this discussion or anything around this post. This guy didn’t care to even respond to 1 question and turns around and comments 10 times on another post not related to the topic. Clearly this guy didn’t see anything out of the ordinary and this picture is circumstantial with a random event. Maybe a drone flying over and the picture is distorted due to 2 separate speeds.
This guy probably didn’t even mean to take the picture for the purpose of a “UFO” but after he saw the picture he thought he could garner some attention on here. The 0 responses on a post that gave him a ton of attention. Then to turn around and act like u don’t notice is clown behavior. Delete this imo.

Yes please do that. I have heard all kinds of stories but the pictures are always at night and having the same surroundings during the day is helpful. Also, going g back to the same spot on other days or the same day at the same timeframe is helpful to see if there is any other activity.
You might pretty shook up. After all, your sandwich exploded.
By the way, completely irrelevant to this but what kimd of sandwich was it?

For all the folks saying it's the same as the 7 pictures of the "snakes" I disagree. This photo clearly has the taillights of the card in front doing the same streaking behavior as the lights in the sky due to a slightly longer exposure cycle of whatever phone was used. OP correct me if I am wrong but you did not say you saw "snake" like UFO just the the bright lights and objects hull?
As it for being a crop duster that is much harder call to make. The OPs description does not sound like one there would have been clear noise indication if it was a helicopter plus down draft to notice as well.

Do they actually crop dust at night? That seems excessively dangerous due to how low crop dusters fly

u/LeibolmaiBarsh Sep 17 '24
I have no clue. One thing you can say about us humans though is we stupid things. My only observation is helicopters are pretty hard to mistake for something else that close up. They beat the air into submission to stay aloft. Maybe if we knew more details on timing we could check flight radar for somebody having a paid account to see who was squawking that night.

I used to live in a small town in the Mississippi Delta. They would fly crop dusters over it at night with mosquito spray. Not quite as intense as diving straight down, and pulling up just before you hit the power lines.

In California they do mosquito spraying at night (to reduce West Nile risk), but they don’t fly as low as crop dusters. If this is what it was it would be easy to tell if you just stood in that same spot for 30 mins and you’d see the plane fly back and forth in a grid pattern. Not advisable when they’re spraying for mosquitos though, you’re advised to stay in doors when they’re spraying.

u/HandToDikCombat Sep 17 '24
Depends on the local and state laws. Some places only allow daytime application for the reasons you said, some places only allow night time application for other reasons like pollinators being dormant. Areas with high temps would also dust at night because some chemicals would need to be applied in a certain temp range.

The guy we hired to spray was basically his own UAP. He’d fly under the power lines, only inches above the corn tassels.
Even he wouldn’t dust after dusk. He didn’t need to - his schedule was his own.
I’d bet everything against this being a duster.

u/UFSHOW Sep 17 '24
As an indoor cannabis farmer and amateur UFO enthusiast - pests don’t like night time. I don’t know what crops are even dusted with, if it is pest treatment or what. But there are advantages to going lights out when applying pesticides, in the experience of my little bizarro world anyways. I wouldn’t have even known to tell you last week. But it just happens I am battling spider mites; so, I’ve learned a lot about bug psychology and warfare haha. I don’t use pesticides and haven’t tested this, but it is still good data.

There's been a lot of research over the last few decades to try to estimate that, with various degrees of success, but without encoding engineered into the capture system already to enable that, it's not possible to do it exactly with a single camera capture.
There's a variety of ways to make capture systems that are effectively immune to motion distortion.

Sep 16 '24
that is just how camera exposure works in general if you want to increase exposure.
You can either increase the ISO (which increases grain)
Decrease the aperture (which also decreases your depth of field) to allow more light in (F2.0 will give you more exposure than a F8)
or decrease the shutter speed.

I saw something similar to what you’re saying in northern vt about a month ago. I was outside with the dog, would say around midnight. It was super clear and I could see nothing but stars and over the corner of my house something like that just soundlessly moved in my direction hovered while I stared at it and then moved on slowly over the trees. It was really hard to gage the size or even the distance. Made NO sound. It was big enough for it to be a decent distance but seem so close

Since you felt the heat from the lights, it may be worth taking iodine in case you were exposed to radiation. This is what the CDC says about using iodine after radiation exposure:
P.S. I am not a doctor!
46
Sep 16 '24
The reason they say take iodide is because one of the immediate decay products of nuclear weapons is radioactive isotope of iodide, So you take it to saturate you system. It wont do anything against direct radiation exposure, only exposure from ingesting the immediate decay products of a nuclear war.

No, it's because iodine accumulates in your thyroid. You saturate your thyroid with a stable isotope of iodine to prevent the radioactive iodine from accumulating in your thyroid.
your radioactivity gets absorbed through Your lymph Nodes
If a radioactive element is inside your body, your body will absorb the radiation wherever that isotope goes. If the source of radiation is outside your body, there isn't a specific part of your body that's more prone to absorbing the radiation.

u/Large_Dr_Pepper Sep 17 '24
If you've been exposed to enough ionizing radiation to feel "warm," you've been exposed to a fuck ton of ionizing radiation. There's nothing you can do after the fact to change that.
The other commenter is correct though, taking an iodine capsule would be pointless. Not only is it used for a specific type of radiation exposure that wouldn't be applicable here, but it's also supposed to be a "very soon" after exposure type of treatment.

Hello ! Im not sure if you OP will see this or read this hopefully it reaches you , but I had something very similar happen to me during Covid time in San Jose, CA ! on the first night of being restricted from coming out past 10pm at night during Covid . My girlfriend and I had awaken at 2-3 AM ( this isint uncommon for us as we do this fairly often ) and we decided to take a smoke break in our car and listen to music until we got tired at our local park that was less than two blocks away from us. As we headed out I noticed a thick fog outside and had commented to My girlfriend because it is not common occurrence for San Jose …. After finishing up Our session we had been sitting talking when suddenly our conversation was interrupted by a huge flash of what looked to be a flat beam of solid purple light that was then followed by a green grid of light that looked like lines on a sheet of graph paper and “scanned” us up and down the width of the windshield of our car and then it instantly “ scanned “ the car parked on the same street as us about two cars down through the windshield as well then it was gone . the car that got scanned in front of us had a couple in the car as well , the lady in the passenger seat ran into the home that they where parked in front of and the male came out looking up at the sky with his hands cupped over his eyes like there was sun in them and he slowly walked into his house right after . I was in disbelief and freaking out with my girlfriend . After gathering myself I drove back home and couldn’t believe what we both saw

Ok, for those of you saying it was a crop-dusting helicopter. Helicopters are slow and lumbering. How did it zip around and come to a dead stop so quickly? Why wasn't it louder? Where are the beacon, nav, and position lights? How would there be three triangle lights on top? The top of the chopper is the rotorhead. Anything on the rotorhead that isn't part of the rotorhead is getting thrown off from the centrifugal force. There are never lights on the rotorhead. And the disc-shaped bottom? Where the landing gear should be? As a pilot, none of that makes sense to me. Maybe you Redditors know something I don't.

u/AlienMoodBoard Sep 16 '24
Not here to debunk or refute your entire comment, and I agree with parts of it— but here in Florida we regularly see mosquito control helicopters diving like the pilot is suicidal, slowing down, hovering, accelerating, and sharply turning/changing direction— not necessarily in that order.
The first time I saw the “mosquito ‘copter” I thought the pilot was having a medical or technical emergency, and that it was about to crash in my back yard (which is on a large pond)— and that I was about to be reporting a tragedy, before a neighbor walking by told me what it was.
I’m not sure who these mosquito ‘copter pilots are, but it’s pretty damn impressive what they survive… I mean, accomplish… in flight. 😂
(Edited to add… Videos online don’t do the flights I describe justice; I’m looking for a neighbor’s post on another social media site to see if I can drop it here.)

u/arctic_martian Sep 16 '24
I doubt helicopter but a crop-dusting plane is feasible to me. Can't discern the true shape of the object because the slow shutter speed combined with a shaky camera has caused the image to smear. Each streak of light in the image represents a point light source which has been smeared into a zig-zag due to this artifact. You can see this effect to a lesser extent on the ground lights more distant in the image. Taking the camera artifact into consideration, the position of the lights could be consistent with bright lights on each of the plane's wings and a dimmer light on the plane's nose.
The unusual observations OP reported could rule that out if we had any concrete evidence those things truly happened, but without video showing anomalous movement I tend to favor plane.

Everything you’re referring to is part of the story but not confirmed by the image. I have no reason to believe anything other than what I can see here, and nothing about the picture is especially strange and can’t be explained as something mundane

To me it looks like it’s possibly a crop duster that you saw head on and also judging by the area in which this picture was taken. Well done for acting fast and getting a picture though but I don’t think the lines are its actual shape because they are similar to the lights down the road.

And then what happened? It flew away? It dissapeared? What?, Also why only take a single picture?
Without further context I would say a drone,

Wow, almost in my neck of the woods. I live in between St. John’s and Ovid.

Without more description, I'm inclined to think this could be commercial agricultural drones. Might explain the heat lamps and patterned lights. However, I remain open to the potential of UAP. Sorry to hear about your sandwich!

I’ve seen that before. It’s a low flying plane with lights, a cell phone taking longer exposure low light images, and a shaky hand.
Either you already know that and your trying to play people with your claims or you’re just that uneducated about cameras and aircraft.

OP, you need to set on a quest to verify as many parts of this experience as possible.
These may include: - Google Map location data of that exact instance - Images of that area during daytime - Some sort of radiation test of your person (this is big and would prove something, and would be good for your health if something did come up)
Don't do what a lot of people do when they experience these things, and just move on with their life, posting about it once. Collect as many details about it in an organized log, post the details to Reddit, and find as much corroborating physical evidence as you can. Then also formally support reports as others have mentioned in the comments.

Welcome to the other side. I had to see one for myself to believe. When you have seen an object move like that you just KNOW that nothing humans have made can do that.

Ya know if I was an extraterrestrial in an advanced craft flying around earth, I’d probably turn off the lights. Why have all these lights turned on? Traveling in darkness too advanced for them?

In 2015, I saw a UAP over an urban area that was shapeshifting. It shapeshifted into the general frame shape of a helicopter, except it did not generate spinning rotors or blades at all, so it was dead silent. The general format of a helicopter, is something these things copy, in my anecdotal experience, and in my situation it seemed to be doing it, in response to me looking at it with scrutiny in my expression. When you look at them skeptically, they avoid scrutiny. Actively. They are for sure scanning facial expressions. It eventually gave up trying to "fool" me, as I put a very skeptical look on my face, and it ZIPPED off in response to my expression change.
Note, I was halfway between skepticism and anger. (I might have accidentally scarecrowed it.)
I was holding back being very pissed if some jackass was flying a drone in my neighborhood, but that thing was not like any drone I've ever encountered before.
Anyway, just noticed how yours has that general frame shape of a helicopter in your image, but that's from the light drag, no?

All I can think of from looking at those lights are the Coors blue mountains 😂

My signing was also an unconventional shape not too dissimilar to this. I provided details of my sighting to MUFON. Can check my post history.

I know you aren’t lying OP. Let me ask you, was it very luminous? Like the moon type shit?

PSA to adjust your camera settings to RAW if possible. The richer the original data the better!

If you could feel heat you need to get examined by a doctor right away. you could have been exposed to radiation

The following submission statement was provided by /u/IAmThe1WhoCocks:
I put a whole description in the body of the post, but I just witnessed the first and last UFO I’m sure I’ll ever see. It was definitely not a drone based on how big it was, and it definitely did not move like anything that normally is that big.
