A friend called me an hour or so awhile ago. I wasn't able to hear him well and went outside to get better reception and looked up in the southern sky and saw a creepy chain of lights go across the sky. I was yelling at my wife trying to get her outside to see it, she is on crutches and was too slow and missed it. My friend on the phone tried to get outside to see but also missed it. I wanted another witness just for my sanity sake !
The reflection of the sun was hitting them just right I guess. It is a lot more creepy seeing it for real than reading or seeing it on the internet, lol.

It’s a short window when you can see it because it’s booking at a pretty good speed. It’s something to see on a clear night.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

When I first saw it it was extremely creepy as I had never heard of it before and had no idea what it was. I was in the middle of nowhere coon hunting with just me and my redbone and I thought for sure the aliens were coming for us, lol. Caught up my dog and went home, lol.

First time I saw it I just stared and thought wow a human being built that and I thought it was pretty cool.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I first saw them when they launched and I had never heard of them. I was going out to my deer stand at o dark thirty and to be honest they sort of freaked me out.
