Let me start by saying this whole ordeal has had my complete attention for weeks now and I have gotten to the point that I'm spending hours on reddit per day just refreshing this sub. I do believe something strange is happening in our skies right now. However, I also have been deeply engulfed by UFOs since I was a kid, so I am extremely biased. I admit that I actively *want* this to be aliens/NHI, and I am rapidly realizing how much that is affecting my suspension of disbelief.

There have been so many things posted where I have watched it and thought, "wow, this is the smoking gun. No explanation for this." One example is a video posted today of what looked like an extreme close-up of an orb where it looked like there were electrical pulses going through it, like lightning bolts. It looked extraordinary to me. I took a screengrab and almost sent it to my best friend like "holy shit this is definitely aliens." Then I went to the comments and, thanks to many of your due diligence, learned that it was a common artifact that happens when you record stars (in this case, Venus) out of focus. Someone linked to a 5-year-old YouTube video with four different stars/planets recorded in the exact same way, and they looked more or less identical to the video I had just watched. I will admit it was disappointing to learn that this wasn't the smoking gun I had believed it was, but I am relieved to know that there are plenty of rational people who know more than I do about these things, who are prepared to get downvoted into oblivion for the sake of debunking things that are presented as anomolous, but have rational explanations.

It has been a bit frightening to make that realization that I am on the borderline of getting swept up in "mass hysteria." I'm quite thankful to those of you who are helping to keep me grounded. It also makes the videos that really do seem unexplainable (e.g. the orbs interacting with/deactivating the drones), that much more special.

Just a ramble, but I hope this reaches a few of the people it's intended for. Thank you.
