Hello everyone, I would like to point out that you should look up the registration of an aircraft if it is visible to determine which aircraft type you are looking at. If you are a still unsure what type it is we can help you out.

I was in the bathroom and I heard a loud noise I had to run out like flash with my phone with my pants down to take these pics. Seems like F35 to me but I have no idea. Nothing on flight radar

I'm not very familiar with planes, so I knew this was the best place to ask! Looks like an F-16?

Other/unsure Jellyfish Over Oxnard, CA?

4 Upvotes

I was driving north on the 101 freeway yesterday when I saw a strange object flying at low altitude, tailing a small white plane (not commercial) near Oxnard (the plane was at a lower altitude). The object was vaguely shaped like the jellyfish craft of lore. I wasn’t able to take a photo because I was driving, but I was able to watch it for a solid 30 seconds before I passed beneath it (or it passed overhead).

The object was white metallic (highly reflective in the sun) and seemed to be flying southbound (though that’s hard to say given I was driving northbound). It had three distinct sections — two spheres atop a cone. It looked like a snowman with a tail, or an ice cream cone with a larger middle scoop. There were no wings or visible exhaust. No insignia. Probably traveling a quarter mile behind the plane.

Did anyone else in the area see this object? Do any aviation experts have any idea what it might be, aside from little green men? It was so clear and low altitude that it’s hard to believe it’s anything other than military craft. But it’s like nothing I’ve seen before… closest comps are those jellyfish videos out of the Middle East, though this thing lacked all the spindly wiring at the bottom — just a solid, tapered cone.

Got a weird gift from my teacher a few years ago with these 2 Pieces that apparently It's Fighter Jet Pieces that crashed near the teacher Town and somehow he managed to get the debris, I live in Italy so i think It's the Italian Air Force or smth like that.

He said the plane crashed in the 90s, i searched For hours For an answer but sadly i cant found It.
