OT: UFO sighting today

[SpeckTaker]

I was swimming in the pool today after work and saw 3 white orbs. Thought they were regular balloons at first but they didn’t move. After about 10 minutes I went in and got binoculars. I could see the structure of the objects very clearly. They were opaque with striations. After they barely moved for an hour I called my brother who lives a few miles away and he could see them too, at the same angle I was seeing them so I knew they were very high. Went on line and found some pics of exactly what I was seeing. I believe they were DARPA high altitude balloons. They slowly drifted off to the East. This was in South Louisiana. Anyone else see these things?

They brought us Corona to see how we handle it. This decided whether we live or not

I've not seen them, but this picture looks like what you described and think they were: https://futurism.com/the-byte/stratospheric-balloons-darpa

Any idea of the size of these things?

I saw one several years ago, went on the back porch to smoke a cigar before bed when I saw this white light that was slowly moving left and right, but to fast to be a plane, and close enough that I would have heard a chopper. What was weird was as it moved lateraling and vertically the light never changed , didn’t flash like a plane, and it wasn’t rotating like a chopper checking for drugs or dove fields. No matter where it moved it’s radiance never changed. And if I lived in town I’d say it was a drone, but this was over rural grounds where you couldn’t get to without driving by me. Not saying it was anything out of this world, but I’m a stargazer and have done a lot of night fishing and I’ve never seen anything that acted or looked like that. And I never thought about trying to record it. I’ve never been a UFO’s do or don’t exist, just believe there are things in nature that we can’t explain.

And yes I know that anything you can’t identify in the sky is technically an UFO, but mean it in the not of this world sense.

Next time you think you're seeing a UFO, stick the lens of your camera phone onto that binocular lens and snap a picture.

did anyone watch a short series called Skinwalker Ranch this year ? It was interesting and worth a look if you ever wondered about stuff like this

It's the damn Chinese dropping corona virus seeds on the unsuspecting population.

I watched it, and they're filming a second season now.
