Through a modern lense it looks just like a drone light show.

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen video from that event. How long did that event occur? If I recall correctly, it lasted quite a long time. The other thing to note is that I believe it was reported as being completely silent.

    If I’ve gotten any of this wrong, please correct me.

    You do bring up a good point about looking at historical sightings through a modern lens. Great thought experiment!

      Pretty sure the lights started in Nevada and traveled through Arizona to Phoenix. That’s a long signal to keep with drones. Or they were traveling with them. But why display it when testing? Truly a strange case.

        Maybe they were testing how people would react to it?

      We already know the government has been working on what we would consider modern drones since the 90s at least. Just to keep perspective that our modern lens is not always the bleeding edge lens.

        I hear this a lot and it seems to make sense. But why keep advanced technology secret? Wouldn’t you want other countries to know what you have? For soft power. Or maybe all the uap’s are their way of showing the world.

          The arms race always want’s the other person to want the same guns as you. USA shows the world they have nukes? KGB have a target for infiltration. CIA stares at goats? Soviet creates their own supernatural weapons program.

          The US has flying disks and never tells? Soviet/Russia never focuses on the field and make their own. Russia attacks the US with planes, trains and automobiles. Get shot down by flying disks, Russia have nothing comparable.

          I don’t believe that’s what’s going on but consider it a military-strategical sound doctrine. Assured destruction of the enemy sounds better than mutually assured destruction no?
