I don't want to say it was a UFO, but it was unidentified.

It is a UFO, yes. Although anything is a UFO if you're really bad at identifying things.

Me if this comment was flying

👉UFO

[–] Lyudmila@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Satellites, airplanes, and balloons can have flashing lights on them to indicate position, but they can also reflect light from way beyond the horizon, resulting in seemingly impossibly bright flashes. The Iridium satellites used to do this reliably and often before they were deorbited, but now OneWeb and Starlink have taken up that mantle with far greater prevalence and annoyancem

Space debris can do this too, like failed Iridium satellites, ALOS, or rocket bodies tumble throughspace and their flares are basically unpredictable.

It’s the flash of the camera on a spy satellite. They saw what you did

Sounds like a giant, extradimensional squid.

It's actually a giant head of stalin made of chrome floating in space. It has laser eyes that blast reactionaries from space.
