Great idea, even though as I stated before, it can't be a crane. The boom is far too long and would collapse if it were that size. Wouln't mind seeing a street view though for some other clues. I'm leaning toward a covert military excercise. Of what, I have no freakin' clue.
17. Will my structure require obstruction lights? FAA standards, procedures, and types of equipment specified for marking and lighting structures are presented in Advisory Circular (AC) 70/7460-1L, Obstruction Marking and Lighting. These standards provide a uniform means to indicate the presence of structures and are the basis for recommending marking and lighting to the public. These standards are the minimum acceptable level of conspicuity to warn pilots of the presence of structures. All aeronautical studies include an evaluation to determine whether obstruction marking and/or lighting are necessary and to what extent. The sponsor shall utilize the type of obstruction marking/lighting that is specified in the determination. If the sponsor wishes to use a different type of marking/lighting, a notice must be submitted for a lighting study.

You sure are a "Mr. Know It All" aren't you? This is not a crane. Have you ever worked in the construction field? I have.

Yeah, I stated that in my post. Doesn't look like any crane to me. Why? Because, why would a crane move that fast? A crane of that size would move very slowly...especially over a residential/business are. That's NO crane.

Lol, why would an ET come all that way and develop tech over millions of years of evolution just to mutilate cattle and probe humans in the night?
