They aren't. It looks that way when you catch two different intersecting orbits that illuminate and extinguish at the intersection point. I've seen it and it's completely trippy, but the giveaway is usually that it's repeating, which makes sense because the satellites are evenly spaced in their orbits. It doesn't take a lot of mental horsepower to debunk the "conspiracy." Alien spaceships have no need for headlights. And secret government programs that have functional anti-gravity propulsion systems aren't going to leave the nav lights on while they do donuts over population centers for fun.

This "theory" has merit and is being quietly whispered by lots of folks.

You got the first part right…what some of us see is not Starlink. What we do see defies conventional capabilities. EXTREMELY apparent that it’s non-linear motion. I know you are well-read and think you have this all figured out, but I was flying a Space Force orbital warfare officer who saw what we saw…that individual was just as baffled. Not saying this person knows it all, but if they didn’t know then maybe things exist out there that actually require ‘a lot of mental horsepower.’

Edit to add: What an entitled twat. Just need to rip the band aid off and call college football what it is rapidly becoming at this point: semi-pro/minor league football. I’ve always found it interesting how we’ve developed sports hand in hand with schools. In the overwhelming majority of the world, sports are tied to the community clubs. Kids grown up within the local clubs, eventually reaching an age where they can be signed by pro clubs. It was wild to me that my neighbor’s 7 year old kid in the UK was in the youth development program for a premier league club. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Manufacurer of manned drones? Interesting tweet.

More people are coalescing around this theory. This guy is a commercial drone manufacturer. "The only reason to fly a drone around at night is if you're looking for something." It makes sense that our authorities seem to be not taking action because they know the drones are ours and do not post a threat. What's the greater risk? - Allowing the public to freak out a little over their unexplained presence in the sky - Truthfully explaining the underlying reason for their presence, and perhaps causing an even greater panic https://x.com/MilaLovesJoe/status/1868042627360403849

That's no fun. Need to be low enough to see the boobies.

Not a knock against the Gators, just a demonstration of how NIL is destroying College Football.

I didn't say anything about "feelings", so strange to bring it up and even stranger to put it in quotes as if I said it. Thoughts and feelings are very different and far too many people confuse the two. I don't put any trust in rumors, especially rumors from DC from 'someone closer to the issue' (apparently I only get to "feel", while they get to "think"). Assuming the rumors are true, which is a monumental assumption, needing to learn and people not liking her are no problem. Likeability is not a qualification for a cabinet position. Needing to learn sounds like an insider critique of someone that isn't an insider. Washington, and thus our country, would be better off with fewer insiders. Unprepared is a different matter, but I think (not feel) that it would be far easier to walk in prepared for a meeting with the President on a specific subject than to walk into a firing squad that can ask anything they want.

Exactly what you're doing. To baseline be competitive for fighters you need a college degree, a PPL, and good test scores (>90, can vary a bit if you are strong elsewhere). So, my focus areas if I were you would be: 1) do a good job in AFE (if you suck, you'll never get hired) 2) get a college degree with a > 3.0, get your PPL, and take the tests 3) talk to pilots when they're not busy trying to step to the jet ("hey sir/ma'am, how was the flight? - at least until they stop telling you to say sir/ma'am which they should do immediately), go up after drill and after you've done your work to talk to folks, etc.
