    From all this paranoia about drones lately, I’ve learned that apparently there are a number of humans who’ve never looked up at the night sky before.

    If only humanity had been mapping those moving lights for the last MANY centuries… Maybe there would have been some reference material they could have checked within the first MONTH or two.

      On clear nights, in areas without light pollution, planets can look huge and bright like an airplane or helicopter.

      I guess the real question is, why would a spy plane have its lights on?

      Happened to me quite often when I was on lookout on a ship. Once the commander heard it and took out his phone to show me the current location of the planets. I head mistaken the low-orbit Venus for something artificial through NV and binos. That damn planet is blinking red and green
