Weird California sighting

Anybody got any suggestions what this alleged Area 51 video is all about? Dodgy source but strange vid.

Read posts on page 184.

Got to wondering:

If two aircraft could “hook up” to refuel (there’s even talk about using drones to do this now),

Could two aircraft similarly hook up to recover one of them for “concealed exfiltration”?

A smaller-scale take on the “flying aircraft carrier” concept.

Interesting light that is bright enough to be seen miles away, but doesn't light up any of the ground objects or hills in the background.

I generally just lurk in this thread, but your thought bubble is really interesting to consider...good stuff*.

*Haven't heard of the "flying aircraft carrier" concept.

And wasn't THAT just a fun program.

And its probably the source of the name for DARPA's Gremlins program.

With any luck it'll work better than the last time. At least this time it can't try to kill its pilot.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Well, DARPA at least took the pilot out of the equation: the Gremlins being UAVs and all...

Not as bad as the PA-97 project...

Pretty clearly it's after effects laid over a still photo with fake camera shake / zoom and a voice added in post
