Not again.… [facepalm]

How about you find some 14-yr-old Boy Scout with the 'Space Exploration' merit badge to explain motion in a vacuum to you? Stuff coming off a vehicle drifts along with the vehicle. Fluids have leaked, expelled, or dumped will flash-freeze, they have been observed for oh, about, sixty years.

What is it about this prosaic feature of spaceflight operations that you find unable to accept as new-normal?

Here's a view from the ground, on the first pass across Europe.

I referred to this guide to see if the UFO looked interesting or not. Looked like the object in the lower left, not too interesting:



But if you find any UFOs that look more like the objects on the right, please post them, those would be a lot more interesting.

I was actually more interested to hear what they said about these being the first starlink satellites deployed with sun shields to minimize the interference starlink satellites cause for astronomers. So that's good news/bad news...good because they are doing something to address the astronomer's complaints, but bad because they've launched so many already without the shields. It will be interesting to hear from astronomers on how much the new sunshields help address their concerns.

Holy Snip Jim! I thought you were dead! Could've swore there was a whole ATS thing on it!

I was just even talking about you tonight! Apparently I have had a Mandela incident, carry on and glad to see you're still above ground!

Also I was really hoping for some during the SpaceX launch of the Dragon Capsule...

Maybe they were busy?

Is it possible you mistook him for Jim Marrs?

He passed a while ago RIP.
