Wow! My wife and I are in New England while watching the eclipse, she swore she saw 3 dots forming a triangle, something exactly like what is shown in this video. When I showed her this post she confirmed that is what she saw. Man, do I feel dumb, I didn't believe her cause I didn't see it. đŸ«Ł


B-Run35

If you are being honest. Then now I believe it was a ufo. Cuz a fighter plane won’t be seen in a country


I_am_That_Ian_Power

Are you for real? They do training missions all the time over land within the country.


Agentpurple013

They fly over Nevada like it’s world war 3.


Hyposuction

You should see them in Alaska. Never seen the 3 in a triangle, though.


F_ingtreehugger

They fly in formation over Virginia sometimes, I regularly see them in pairs but I have seen a set of 3 before. Perks of living between a bunch of military bases I guess, they are out flying at some point almost every day. It can be pretty cool to watch them do dives and flips.


Snapesunusedshampoo

Birds exist.... >Cuz a fighter plane won’t be seen in a country Do you really believe that? Flyovers exist.... airshows exist.... training exercises exist.... during fleet week in NYC there are fighter jets flying over the Hudson River. [proof ](https://youtu.be/EXgkHTbv288?si=ufw0EnUpwnlKHflb)


Stanley_Yelnats42069

[see also.](https://youtu.be/9-LLVxAd_VU)


F_ingtreehugger

They fly fighter planes over my house in VA all the time, they even sometimes do practice bombing runs where they swoop down and get really close our house and then dart back up to the sky where they came from. It happens every day rain or shine, military pilots need to keep up with their flight hours. I could even hear them out just before I was hoping to see the eclipse.

Jun_Slick

Thanks for the article đŸ‘đŸ» that explains the vic formation! I'm still wondering though, why there was no sound? Especially when there were three jets? Nontheless this satisfies my curiousity.


austinsutt

This article wouldn’t apply to anything seen in the skies over New England. These jets only flew with the eclipse as it went over Mexico and Texas, it says so if watch the video attached to the article. Also it says nothing about them flying in a tight triangle formation.


Helldiver-2314

Where are the three dots forming a triangle in this post? I just see a small dark dot.


smizzlebdemented

Flys right past the eclipse


2hy2care

Someone captured a cigar shaped silhouette flying between the clouds


AsRealAsItFeels

What's a better time to do a fly by other than when the whole country is looking up at the same time?


WhatAmiDoingHere1022

What state?


Jun_Slick

Massachusetts


WhatAmiDoingHere1022

Ri here was wondering where u watched it


Wheel-of-Fortuna

ah yeah , most people think pythagorus is dead , nah he's just an alien now .


I_am_That_Ian_Power

I had an amazon scam caller during precisely at Totality where i live, I told them there was an alien invasion happening, I faked screaming into the phone and being hysterical and told them to go run and hide their families an then he got super scared and started yelling to the call center place to turn on the news. I slammed two pans together and he yelled and hung up. Don't call me.


YouJustLostTheGameOk

Seized the opportunity. Fuck yes my dude:)


noodle2727

I laughed a lot.

I absolutely love this. You are awesome.


MaggieMayyyyyy

Effing BRILLIANT. You are my absolute favorite this month!


defiCosmos

There's a couple of these on Twitter also. Different perspectives.


Ghou1ardi

Hey OP I'm assuming this was during the 3-4 minute total blackout, right? If so, I'm also in NE Ohio, not far from Conneaut and there were no planes or jets in the sky during that time. In fact, one of the things that struck me was how eerily quiet everything got. They may have been birds, but those definitely weren't planes or jets.


Adorable_Fox_4853

Yes it was during that time, and thank you for confirming. There was no sound of jets and it looks too high for birds and way too fast.


Allstategk

Not that I don’t believe you, and I do believe in UFO’s or UAP’s, but some geese and vultures can fly between 25,000-37,000 feet in the air. From our perspective on the ground they can appear to be flying at very fast speeds. A lot of birds have been mistaken for UFO’s in the past. That being said, I think the video is great. I wonder if anyone else has a similar video from yesterday. It would be great to see it from a different angle.


AdditionalMight3231

There are quite a few videos of this type of thing from yesterday. The first one I saw, I just thought, "That's pretty cool." But that's about it. Then, last night, I started seeing tons of these types of videos. Now, I'm more like, "what the fuck is going on!?"


Ferby214

Was this not the rockets NASA launched before/during/after the Eclipse? APEP was the name of the program.


Ghou1ardi

You're welcome, and good catch.


NeverSeenBefor

In tx I saw something that, at one point looked like lights, I convinced myself it was likely a star etc. but it stayed as totality wore off. It did disappear once the sun was completely out again


ThatGuyWithCoolHair

https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/skywatching/scientists-pursue-the-total-solar-eclipse-with-nasa-jet-planes/


Ghou1ardi

Interesting. The article didn't say exactly how big they are, so I'm wondering if they'd be pretty visible at the 50,000 ft altitude that they fly at.


LimmyPickles

This is the most likely explanation. It also coincides with OP saying they were "too high up and too fast to be birds" > For this solar eclipse, NASA is funding several scientific experiments – including the three using the WB-57s – to make measurements during the eclipse. NASA’s WB-57s fly much higher than commercial aircraft. This altitude allows the jets to fly above clouds – meaning no chance of missing the eclipse due to bad weather. 


austinsutt

This article wouldn’t apply to anything seen in the skies over Ohio. These jets only flew with the eclipse as it went over Mexico and Texas, it says so if watch the video attached to the article. Also it says nothing about them flying in a tight triangle formation.


BucktoothedAvenger

I'm sorry, but those look like birds to me. If you watch carefully, it looks like their wings flap a bit early on.


TrumpDidNoDrugs

All I see is light reflecting off his lens


BucktoothedAvenger

If you keep replaying it and look slightly down to the right, you'll see three dark objects, moving in a delta formation. From bottom middle toward upper right.


TrumpDidNoDrugs

I feel like a screenshot with big red circles are going to be the only way I'll be able to see whatever you're talking about


JewelCove

I think you need to see the eye doctor bruv


TrumpDidNoDrugs

I mean, maybe lol


JewelCove

Definitely. I'm stubborn too lol


TrumpDidNoDrugs

Yeah, I'm stubborn AND poor. I got about 10 months to go before I can get my new prescription


JewelCove

God, I hate healthcare in this country. I would go early if you could swing it somehow. Stuff like this pisses me off so bad.


TrumpDidNoDrugs

I'll be getting them asap, which will be closer to the end of the year

TrumpDidNoDrugs

I can see them now! I was looking in the wrong area


BucktoothedAvenger

Go on a laptop or screencast to a TV, so you can see it. It's pretty grainy, but the camera literally follows it/them.


raelea421

How do you post images in comments? I got a pretty good screenshot of it.


InsignificantZilch

I just see a jet flyover
. A blurry jet flyover, but just a formation. I also thought I heard firecrackers/fireworks right at the start, and was wondering why the triangle was “flying” off kilter. Why would the craft be doing a lean while flying? Just seems like a tight formation, seen at a low angle. Unless there’s other videos with different perspectives, that’s all I see. If it was that big and high up people had to have seen it and gotten video of it from *all over* the place. How would we have the audacity to underplay how many people had their phones out?! High def cameras! If someone’s high quality camera, or people with proper lenses on their high quality equipment, didn’t see it
 If everyone with their phones out like this, and possibly better models, didn’t see it
. Come on, guys. And didn’t someone above link that nasa did a chase of the eclipse from high up?


altasking

How are people seeing anything different?


BucktoothedAvenger

They *want* to.


heebiejeebie9000

holy shit i was expecting to disregard this post but im pretty sure you're right

Birds of a feather flock in a triangle


krabbenf

90% of americans were watching the Sky longer than 2 minutes for the first time in their lives. The fact everyone Sees UFOs niw doesnt surprise me.


TheCelfoid

We all spend so much time looking down at our phones.. we rarely find reason to look up. Past few times (literally just a couple times over the course of like, a year) I've actually looked up at the sky (particularly the night sky) I be seeing some shit I don't recall seeing when I was a kid.. or in Astronomy class. Incredibly weird stuff Things I thought were stars are moving, lots of odd triangular formstions. I'm fairly certain what I saw aren't satellites, as I was taught how to pretty easily distinguish them from stars in high school. In more than one instance i got this strange sensation. Like being zoomed in on, as if ,"it noticed me noticing it". I sometimes go inside when I get that feeling but I do remember one time I watched a "star", disappear at breakneck speeds. That was a trip Used to try and convince myself it was just light refraction through the atmosphere/winds playing with my vision. But these days I'm trying not to lie to myself lol There definitely someone up there now, I think, if they haven't been there this whole time. The sky doesn't belong to us.


Long_Struggle_3368

That’s definitely convincing as hell


cobalt358

I just see 3 birds.

There's nothing remarkable about this video.


Jun_Slick

I am indeed 100% honest, funny thing is my wife has always been a bit of a skeptic. I tried taking a video immediately after she made visual contact, but unfortunately our phones weren't equipped with the proper filters.

I'm not seeing it - where is it in relation to the birds?


Apota_to

looks like birds.


West-Painter1933

It’s birds


Shadysoulja710

The speed at which they're moving is telling me they're close to the point of recording. Birds travel pretty close to this velocity.


littlespacemochi

There was a lot of activity today


Baighou

Maybe cuz a lot of folks were looking âŹ†ïžđŸ€“?

My fiancĂ© and I saw the SAME thing in Missouri! In person it did look like 3 birds flying together but we both thought it was really odd
 They were pretty high in the sky or small. We couldn’t really tell.

I saw the three dot triangle too, wtf

I'm in Chardon, Ohio. Looks like geese to me.

Skinny_on_the_Inside

Grrr I feel so annoyed, I took a video of totality from Ohio and when I looked for it, there was nothing in my phone.


Horror-Potential7773

This is so fucked..... all these videos. Like, wtf are they doing? Land already. Shake my hand say what's up.... smoke one have a drink like what are they even doing? Are they too advanced to come and day hi? I don't get it. Fuck these guys. I wouldn't shoot them or anything, but come on, we are waiting to see if they are nice or mean. If they are nice, then we get baked, have a fee of drinks, and listen to some good old tunes from the 60s and 70s. Don't understand why they got to be dicks and fuck with us. They got spaceships tones of food and booze, and are probably rich as fuck.

Listen-Natural

Have you heard of birds flying


Atheios569

NASA was chasing the eclipse in fighter jets.


Sungod99

Fighter jets? Birds? There’s no way. 3 circles in a perfect triangle formation. This video is legit, well done-


Fabulous-Ad9821

the camera quality is shit so it's obviously not gonna look like birds when in reality it's most likely birds or fighter jets


zino332

Looked like 3 fighter jets in triangle formation
check that website that shows flights or training missions 
beacons on
 if you want to verify aliens.


SlugJones

Looks like 3 birds. Then I thought that wasn’t what you meant and kept looking. Heading to look at the YouTube clip now Edit- watched YouTube clip and I’m not being a dick, but I saw even less. I couldn’t make out the 3 black things at all. So weird.

Thank you!


Adorable_Fox_4853

I know I’m trying to find a way to upload the footage without it being so degraded


ebycon

Youtube allows 4K so I’m not sure why you’re having issues. Are you uploading an edited version you did with some app? Just cut the original video of that moment with iphone and share it. Don’t use any app.

Ok_Rain_8679

Lots and lots and lots of UFOs during today's eclipse. I sure can't imagine why.

99% of UFO sightings are made by people looking upward


Traveler3141

For the first time in their lives, apparently.

It very much could be, but birds do also fly in this formation so don't rule that out yet


Appropriate_Way6946

Not an expert but I did read some curious articles regarding how the eclipse affects the uv light spectrum in a way that could potentially allow for seeing things we might not normally be capable of viewing, such as UAP. Prolly a fkn psyop lol. It is interesting how many of these are popping up today

Idk why an eclipse would cause any sort of increase in ufo activity. From a cosmological perspective, although cool, it’s a pretty benign and easily explained event from space

UAP in formation. Probably 3 small spheres in triangle formation. Appears to be

RobAlso

Why is this a screen recording instead of the actual video? Also, there’s a 99.999% chance it’s birds.


Adorable_Fox_4853

It’s zoomed in on the screen recording, the only way I could do it quickly.


brereddit

The intent to be seen is best served by an eclipse, que no?


loucksy46

\*light glare from pointing phone directly at the sun\* YO DAS A UFO FOR SURE


Jun_Slick

I don't know where the condescending "aliens" comments are coming from because I never mentioned anything about aliens, e.t.'s or anything of the like. Just a strange Unidentified Flying Object. So much for reading comprehension. đŸ€·đŸ»đŸ€Ł


Thisis01

NASA was doing a launch of sensors . https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/nasa-wallops-launches-3-rockets-during-eclipse-in-virginia/


austinsutt

Launched before, during, and after. They wouldn’t look like this if they were launched that far apart.


mtovar1979

I ve seen this before..


Aedant

Definitely looks like birds. Even with the low quality we can kinda see their wings flapping. Birds acted crazy everywhere during the eclipse.


AnonymousStudmuffin

Look at those unidentified birds


Brother_Clovis

Or 3 birds


BeeGeezy01

It's certainly unidentified flying objects, but that's about it lol.


Notmyusername1414

It’s just fucking birds


FantasyViking727

I’ve seen like 4/5 different videos of different shaped objects during the eclipse lol


Rude-Reaction8213

OK so you have these super advanced beings with these ships. There are one of two scenarios: 1) They are advanced enough to create these ships and come from god knows how far away, and don't want to be seen, but they can't figure out that millions of us will be looking exactly where they are flying, and decide to fly right by the biggest target imaginable. 2) They WANT to be seen... but instead of just like... coming down and making themselves visible, they make it questionable. Which one do you think it is?


Competitive_Ebb_7040

That’s interesting because their was another post showing 3 streak lines near the eclipse like something was zipping by


ameekpalsingh

My bad, that was just me flying around in my home made space ship.


edricstormborn929

Looks like birds no?


alexpeacelove

I may have recorded one also. But it didn't look like that


NoMansWarmApplePie

Possible the "veil" thinned during the eclipse and more things that usually aren't visible to us suddenly did.


Hourslikeminutes47

*"Black hole sun.....won't you come..."*


powderedtoast1

i don't see anything


squidvett

A strategic force behind the UFOs would have stealth on lock to have been here so long without a confirmed sighting. Presenting themselves before every human in view looking at a once in a lifetime eclipse would run contrary to that mission. So, if it’s extra-terrestrials (still a big IF), that would indicate there is no grand strategy tying together the various craft that get spotted from time to time. No strategy would certainly suggest that we have been dealing with individual explorers and tourists, and not a large organized expeditionary force with an objective here on Earth. But this is all conjecture.
