Objects in the sky

With what has been going on lately does anyone have any theories?I'd rather get away from UFOs and outer space and concentrate on what they possibly are, where they are from, and what they are doing.Given the balloon sighting, this has led to the detection of these last two objects very quickly and the shooting of them down. Have they been overhead for far longer than we know?Have we had these objects over our skies without knowing, could we in time now have our own official sightings?I see something last year during our heatwave and have emailed Howard Hughes of The Unexplained over this as i was totally baffled to what it was and its course and change in direction on a clear hot sunny day. On what has happened lately ive only just yesterday googled objects in sky summer 2022 and have found a video. Not quite what i did see but has similar points to it but it was only one object and very high up. But strangely its around the same time and it was over west london also. By telescope revieled more than the human eye as my first thought was a party baloon. But given height,its movements and weather conditions i ruled it out. But could it have been a surveillance drone. Could it have been something that we now know about in north america Again,forget UFOs,it takes 4 years to get to the nearest star,but it makes an interesting conversation. Well from my point of view it does anyway not that im a expert on this subject https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/14/group-of-3-metal-sphere-ufos-spotted-making-turns-over-london-16996832/

Some time ago two rival drone companies had problems when one or the other or both blocked the signals and they fell out of the sky.

A quick look at dronescene.co.uk gives Dukes Meadows, Boston Manor and Richmond Park as areas where drones can be flown, as long as drone code followed.

You may be surprised at how many drones are approved to fly around London, particularly construction sites.

I don't for one minute think it's an extra terrestrial object, but the authorities saying it isn't will not stop conspiracy theorists as that's what the authorities are bound to say, even if it was from another planet.

MI5 and Counter-Terrorism would be in a right pickle if we have drones flying around the place

Super large sky lanterns?

Philippa Bond ● 435d

You might get away with using drones in a small area or from a position A to B under license or in very remote areas but in most cases "you can only fly in uncontrolled airspace below 400 feet" and "Commercial drone operators are required to get permission from the FAA before flying in controlled airspace" The idea of amazon flying around greater london and further is never going to happen. A amazon driver delivers upto 150-300 parcels a day from a very large transit van. 2 million a day within the uk It might work if you have a remote ranch in the Arizona desert. Royal mail will be delivering letters for years to come,they just want to stop saturday deliveries and in the future possibly split rounds into certain days of the week.

I was hearing yesterday how a hospital is already using drones to carry stuff from one building to another. What does this look like?  I remember a drone being used to take photos of a building site so that views of how the building would look when built.Not that I think that is what has been seen or shot down but we know that Amazon has been talking about drone deliveries and Royal Mail no longer want to deliver letters (who knows what does go missing).What arrangements are needed to use this air space?  You can see that the space above many buildings has been bought as there is a market for it.

All this really is is a trial food delivery programme. StratosphericEats.  People with cash  now want the real deal, they want truly authentic regional Chinese dishes cooked in regional Chinese places, delivered worldwide. It's wrapped in NASA grade heat retention material so is good for up to 7 days from launch. Obviously now the secret trial is exposed they will have to reveal all.

I thought we were told there were some sort of weather balloon - so what do those look like? Has anybody had a look to see what is now being offered for sale online?

Philippa Bond ● 436d

My brother owned a balloon some time back and I went up a couple of times and can tell you they are not at all easy to steer. Near impossible in fact.Yes you get different wind directions at different altitudes but that's about it so how come these objects seem to be under some sort of directional control? Do they have some sort of secret propulsion device?Didn't the opening titles of Monty Python show a balloon with a bicycle underneath peddled by a chap in a Victorian bathing outfit? I tell you the Chinese are swines for copying all our best ideas.

Balloons will be a lot lower than satellites, so able to pick up electronic signals much easier than satellites. And, while you can get low earth orbit satellites, these rapidly transit any "areas of interest"

"... it takes four years to get to the nearest star". Well for us it might.

I remember as a kid when you could pick up the police off your home radio. Now its digital TETRA operated by 02 which encrypts the communicatins. Much of the USA is now switching to encrypted communications but many states still operate on the old system

Julian Pavey ● 436d

Maybe someone had developed something that can decrypt full digitl encrypted communications back too an original format one can understand.

Julian Pavey ● 436d

Are,good question.The only thing i know and have taken in over the radio lately from experts is the fact that baloons are cheep to produce and they can capture an area for far longer periods than a satelite that orbits. And can a satelite intercept all communications that do not use satelites to relay thise forms of communication. Im not sure they can Could it be more communications than say imagery with these objects

Julian Pavey ● 436d

I'm puzzled what a high-altitude spy balloon could spot that a satellite could not.
