The women of Venus are offended by that remark. The want to punish you now.

My Lady and I frequently sit out on our front porch in Saint George, Utah, which is located in the south west corner of Utah. It is an almost ideal place for watching star.
Unfortunately Saint George’s growth in population means we are starting to get some light pollution from street lights and commercial growth. We have also been the unfortunate beneficiaries of California’s Forest and Wild Fires of late which degrade our ability to see the stars and other astronomical sights above our fair city and state.
Last evening had singularly good viewing among the nights we’ve been having lately. Zero clouds and California must have decided to export its Liberal and Progressive Mistakes in Forest Management somewhere else for a change, at least for a short time. In any case, the stars were glorious and the viewing of multiple satellites in the orbits were easily spotted as the traversed overhead. In other words the viewing was great!
We went out about 9:00 PM and settled in our rocking chairs to enjoy a fairly cool breeze watching for what could be seen. I was easily spotting several orbiting satellites at once—it’s getting crowded up there—finding several heading east and a few vectoring north.
At about 9:13PM, I spotted a particularly bright object close to Arcturus heading East fairly rapidly. Due to its velocity and brightness, I thought it was fairly large and low Earth orbiting. I brought my Lady’s attention to it and we both followed it as it moved across the sky all the way through Scorpius, into the middle of Sagittarius where it suddenly made a sharp 60° turn South (no curve) and then vanished! About five seconds after the object disappeared, something burst and flashed extremely, brighter than Vega or Venus, about 5° due north of where the object vanished… and as the flare subsided it flared up again a half-second later about half as bright and half as large as the first burst which had appeared to span about 1° and the second about 1°. When this double burst died away, there was no residue or evidence of any debris where the double bursts had occurred.
This could have been a meteor coming directly toward us, because there was no plasma trail and we saw only the burst from front-on. That’s possible. However, it was almost instantaneous, with no buildup.
About 20 minutes later, around 9:35, we saw ANOTHER single burst/flare/flash about five degrees above the last tail star. Shaula, in Scorpius, did the same thing, without the secondary flash. Odd.
Around 10:24PM, I noticed an what I thought was an odd satellite, a low brightness, East to West orbiting object… but then I noticed it was NOT following a typical orbit but was actually following a parabola! I pointed it out to my Lady. As we followed its flight, it suddenly started doing loops to the north! It did three rounded loops, all about equal size, then it started doing zig-zags back to the East, then West, about six of those, going north with fast, sharp changes of direction… It then went straight, heading west, appeared to approach the position (from our viewpoint) of Arcturus and started just moving around in random directions just to the East of Arcturus. This continued for about five minutes until both it and Arcturus were occluded by the tree line and we could no longer observe them.
About 10:45PM, my Lady spotted something moving around in the Southeast through a palm three across the street. We started watching it and soon discerned there were three lights in the distance moving around each other over a mountain in that direction. They acted like they were dancing. They were not airplanes, but could have been drones. They eventually took off toward the South.
We finally went inside about 11:05 PM when a high level mist started forming that caused the stars to start looking blurry. Weird night.
Saint George is about 75 miles from Nellis Air Force Base and probably 200 miles from Area 51…
Who has the Georgio meme?
Hi.
NV and NM have some very interesting government facilities.

Link to an account from a 747 crew (and towers) and their encounter with two fast moving, right-angle turning objects.
Objects had standard navigation lights!
Usually flown during fire bans.
Trivia point:
The uniforms worn by the men in this photo look familiar. I think they are the same as the uniforms worn by the crew in Forbidden Plant from 1956.
Aliens have noticed we have a weak Commander in Chief and have restarted plans to invade. Trump 2024...and beyond.
They are from Kolob checking on their investments and giving instructions to their ambassador Mittens.
Good eye. They are precisely that.
Those are called “Burn Down Some Random Stranger’s House” devices
Interesting looking Holster that guy has there.
I believe that photo was from the Movie “Queen of Outer Space” with Zsa Zsa Gabor as the Queen of Venus.
Man, I will never be able to read Chinese.
While everyone is distracted by Afghanistan, Hurricane Ida and the Chinese virus, the aliens have decided to make their move.
In early winter 1997 I was driving a school bus in Palmer, Alaska, and was stopped at the end of Wolverine Road waiting for my run to start. It was about 6:50 a.m., looking west over the Talkeetnas. I watched an round object about 1/2 degree in diameter (half the width of my fingernail at arm length, so not very big, like a big star), bright yellow with a red center, fly over the mountains and disappear down a valley. The whole sighting took a few seconds. I have no idea what it was, only that it was a cold, dark, still early morning in Alaska, and I saw something.
If it was standing with Obama, that was Michelle
There’s a point where you’re watching some traveling light in the sky thinking it’s an airplane, when it suddenly does something impossible for an airplane.
One evening, some 90min after sunset, I’d seen a satellite or two already, and a few commercial jetliners, when I saw another bright traveling speck heading about due South. I thought it must be an airplane, but really high up. The local traffic is almost all low, running with forward white lamps on inside the SF TCA. Wingtip beacons typically very discernible.
This other thing was at an altitude that even the common red strobe on the belly of the craft wasn’t detectable. It was in full sunlight, the reflections varying with it’s position relative to me and the Sun. For an airplane, it was cooking; definitely not a lumbering passenger job. I’d have guessed it was a military craft just sub-mach but 45,000ft or more.
All these thoughts were in my head as I watched it go along, when it made an instantaneous turn — like a billiard ball off a rail— exceeding 75 degrees change in course to the East, at least tripled it’s velocity, then vanished. The disappearing act I concluded was it passing into Earth’s shadow. The instantaneous course and velocity changes defy explanation within the bounds of known science.
Watched the entire series this summer and to be honest, I don't know what to make of it. Sensationalism in a typical reality program or legitimate?
I'm thinking sensationalism.......
