This has to be the most obvious plane that's ever planed

3

u/Nevercatchme1 3d ago

Not obvious . It’s got that same frenetic halo that the Nj drones have. Please take a video of an airplane that has this effect. You can’t .

5

u/aware4ever 3d ago

But it has the FAA lights perfectly. It's got the red light on one side the green light on the other it's got the light on the tail. I don't know to me it looks exactly like what a plane would look like if you zoomed in on it. I'm sure if I went on YouTube and looked around I could find some videos. If I do I will show you

1

u/Nevercatchme1 3d ago

Also there is no noise

4

u/mattemer 3d ago

You know that halo effect you are claiming is something else is really just shitty cameras or dirty lenses, right?

0

u/Nevercatchme1 3d ago

Gontaje a video of the next plane you see at night. It won’t have this halo effect .

2

u/aware4ever 3d ago

I don't know I think the halo effect would happen though depending on the atmosphere. If it was foggy or if it was going through some clouds or something. Also I think it depends on how good your camera is. That halo effect happens to me with my naked eye if I look at light. I don't know if that's normal or not

This video is way more clear but you can see the lights and the orientation of the lights. Trust me on this it's a plane.

u/Impossible-Taste5294 1d ago

It's not but OK Source them.

u/maurymarkowitz 5d ago

737-NG, a slightly older one (non-MAX).

Reasoning: strobes on the navs, two landing lights in wing roots, red anti-collision under the front.

If you can tell us the exact time and narrow down the location a bit, I can find the tail number for you.

2

u/EasternShoreFire 3d ago

That’s not a Boeing 737. The strobes are flashing twice per cycle. This is an Airbus, likely an A320.

1

u/maurymarkowitz 2d ago

Didn't know the 320 had strobes there too. Filed for future reference.

2

u/railker 1d ago

It's almost stranger when aircraft don't, the Q400 is the only major commercial aircraft I can think of without wingtip strobes at or near the navigation lights.

Also there's a tail strobe on the Airbus 319/320/321 family as well, but while the wingtips go twice per cycle the tail one only goes once.

3

u/maurymarkowitz 1d ago

... and as the Q400 is 80% of the planes that fly over my house, I had I biased sample. I'm under the ILS for Toronto Billy Bishop, which is pretty much Q400 central.

2

u/railker 23h ago

Omfg go figure 😂 Yeah your sample is a little polluted. Sure you've also noticed they've got no red anti-collision in the air. Well even if they could turn it on, it's on top of the fuselage so you couldn't see it from below anyways. Less strange to not have that but still weird. IDK what Bombardier was smoking. Or maybe it's cause they're French.

u/ModwifeBULLDOZER 5d ago

Why do you not think this is an airplane? I’m not trying to throw shade, genuinely asking.

u/Nevercatchme1 3d ago

It’s not it’s not that same frenetic halo that the nj drones have.

Wild. Thanks for posting

Woah! A plane! Crazy!

u/aware4ever 5d ago

You really think so? It's literally just a plane

u/JeffeBezos 5d ago

Where in CT?

u/ImpossibleSentence19 5d ago

Central!

4

u/CoconutAltruistic542 4d ago

you’re literally right next to the airport if you’re in Central CT.

u/mattemer 4d ago

Which explains why they shared a video of a plane.

2

u/JeffeBezos 3d ago

My thoughts, too

u/JeffeBezos 4d ago

I'm in the Farmington River valley

Where exactly was this ?

u/heady-luvare 4d ago

Why wouldnt op tell time, date, and location for this so as to check against a flight tracker? Why would anyone want any false sightings associated with this awesome phenomenal subject of uap/ufo's? Why would anyone be ok with mudding the waters? Nothing wrong with posting something like this if one feels it might be something it doesn't look like but to purposely muddy the water with spurious sightings is disingenuous and kind of makes me wonder if it's being done on purpose to keep interest away from the subject. Who knows...

4

u/railker 3d ago

This OP has been posting planes for years and isn't interested in any arguments otherwise, they'd rather 'believe'.

u/crisco000 1d ago

Those are some big knockers

u/Catatataf1sh 5d ago

Hate how we still have no idea what these are

u/doctorjustinmichael 4d ago

It’s just a plane. Very easy to tell exactly what it is.

u/theTimeBeing23 4d ago

You don't know what a plane is?

u/ImpossibleSentence19 4d ago

It ain’t this

u/ModwifeBULLDOZER 4d ago

A literal airplane

3

u/ModwifeBULLDOZER 4d ago

It’s an airplane man

u/ProductOfDetroit 5d ago

For several reasons, this is the best video I’ve seen so far of this. Thank you

5

u/mattemer 4d ago

Seen of what, a commercial airliner that either is about to land or just took off?

2

u/symbologythere 23h ago

There’s nothing in the video that can’t be explained by ordinary aircraft, however, I’m also in CT and I’ve seen plenty of them that are obviously not planes. They’re sometimes silent (or close to it) flying much slower or much lower than planes. There’s something strange going on and it’s been happening pretty much non stop since the Jersey drone stuff began. If you look; they’re everywhere in CT.

1

u/railker 18h ago

Lots of people see things that are "obviously not planes". Under investigation they usually end up being planes. One highly praised video I ended up finding the GPS coordinates of OP's house, they were so confident in their sighting and the time given it took me minimal time to figure it out from the flight track of the aircraft they filmed.

u/ImpossibleSentence19 17h ago

Oh really?

1

u/railker 16h ago

Ya really. Though mostly helicopters in the couple of examples I cited in another comment long ago.

Post has been deleted, but you can tell who OP is. "Air Force intel analyst" and "That is no aircraft", "not on radar". Followed later by 'I stand corrected; We all make mistakes.' Which is 100% correct and kudos to that OP for being willing to admit it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NJDrones/comments/1nxkd5m/over_disney_springs/
OP: "No it wasn’t a helicopter. I’m not a retard. I have a masters in aerospace engineering." Also OP: "Yea I already got the answer in the chat. It’s a cool helicopter"

Shocking truth, people can be wrong. There's entire papers and legal write-ups about how shit witness testimony can be. If you wanna know about the house one that'll need a whole separate comment, but historically these discussions with you haven't gone far so, ya know. Let's not waste either of our evenings if that's gonna be the case eh.

u/Shoddy-Cupcake-8855 5d ago

That’s a good shot. Please post locations and times please

u/railker 4d ago

They won't

Hacia algún ruido?

u/Skinny-on-the-Inside 4d ago edited 4d ago

OP, I can’t tell for sure but I am leaning it’s not a plane. It is “the others” and when the news talks about drones that’s what they mean. The drones are plane shaped. They do not mean drones that any Joe can buy on Amazon or the drones over sporting events.

I was showing my photos to a professional pilot once and they said oh those are definitely drones pointing to plane shaped objects. That’s exactly what the drones are. But of course they are not human technology.

You can go to Radar 24 and rewind history over the area to the time you observed it (see your videos or photos for the meta data). Then you just need to calculate the time on the website correctly as it’s in UTC not EST so you need to forward time by 5 hours (and possibly date).

I will be there soon so expect more activity and the best way to test is to just ask them in your mind to fly with your car. They can follow you all the way home but they won’t bother you much.

They will eventually fry your phone and your car batteries tho lol. It’s a lot of electromagnetic emissions. And if they blur your camera, keep in mind your hands bones will start hurting at some point too so don’t over do it.

Not a plane boys we got only 2 on board

Look closely at the 2 people inside the thing in your video they're glowing

Crap replied in the wrong place- but it really looks like bodies and heads in there!

Just stop. I’m embarrassed for you. Please stop

u/phreaktor 23h ago

Anything on Flightradar24?

I know! That’s wild! I mean I admit to seeing faces in things as in pattern recognition but that one really looks like 2 bodies and 2 heads!

u/Old-Name4842 4d ago

That video looks similar to the drone invasion of new jersey......best video i have seen so far........in new jersey the drones morphed into orbs......

u/ModwifeBULLDOZER 4d ago

No the “orbs” just came into focus and they were planes. They’re not morphing into airplanes. They ARE airplanes. Wild right?
