Thank god. They’ve come to rescue us!

rodrhimes.bsky.social•65 days ago

Good, they received my homing beacon!

accesstherealyou.bsky.social•66 days ago

🫣🫨Just a big spider. Nothing to see here.😎

jewelowisdom.bsky.social•65 days ago

My first thought too. Reminds me of the spider that crawled across my counter as I started cooking tonight 😱

milo25.bsky.social•65 days ago

Agreed

whardy.bsky.social•68 days ago

That’s from a Superman movie.

larkalinkcanfly.bsky.social•68 days ago

Right over my head in my backyard, August. I didn’t freak, it was a ‘toy’ model. Are drones now going to be considered a ‘plane’? They are also used by fire fighters and insurance companies.

spartadog.bsky.social•68 days ago

That's a V-22 Osprey.

snippy-tinman.bsky.social•68 days ago

Thanks for keeping it real.
It takes a brave mofo to fly in a V-22.

saltoearth.bsky.social•31 days ago

They routinely fly overhead here - their base being approx 60km away,

mrsblocking.bsky.social•67 days ago

And so many others!!! Spies. Police. Forest & animal owners. Architects. Urban planners. Kids!

hatcat53.bsky.social•64 days ago

Just for the record: Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey, for those who might never have seen one before. 😏

markbhall.bsky.social•64 days ago

Yeah, they’re only dangerous for the people who fly them.

hatcat53.bsky.social•63 days ago

Anything that leaves the ground is dangerous to those on board and the drive to the airfield is still riskier. Just saying.

rafcavallaro.bsky.social•70 days ago

It’s a balloon. Here’s a YouTube video of the balloon launch. The color markings are just barely visible in the still photos since they were taken from a great distance (and it seems, upscaled).

reynoldsthegriz.bsky.social•69 days ago

Dang it. I've been hoping for aliens. Good sleuthing!

rafcavallaro.bsky.social•69 days ago

I can’t take credit for this discovery. It was reddit user Edenoide:

It’s the last reply in this thread on Reddit:

birdcatlady.bsky.social•65 days ago

I was just saying hey maybe we don’t have to worry about the US government…the space aliens are here.

reynoldsthegriz.bsky.social•65 days ago

My thoughts exactly. Benevolent alien overlords, reveal yourselves! 😄

celticharper.bsky.social•63 days ago

This would be a great time for the Vulcans to show up.

reynoldsthegriz.bsky.social•62 days ago

justjoe2024.bsky.social•62 days ago

It's the klingons 😆

jenvacca.bsky.social•62 days ago

We need Zephraim Cochran

blueclash.bsky.social•74 days ago

I pride myself on having a sound mind BUT I stink at this kind of thing-but your Muppet header gives me hope that you won't make me feel too stupid when I ask "Is that a bird caught in an odd pose with its wings back?" Or, when I say it appears very aerodynamic like a human-built machine for flight?

solips1s.bsky.social•73 days ago

It's a bird. 1st photo looks upscaled..

aliceneel.bsky.social•72 days ago

Spread your fingers out and enlarge the object. It’s not a bird.

blueclash.bsky.social•71 days ago

And so its not.
Eight legs?
Central thrust?

blueclash.bsky.social•73 days ago

Thanks!

emdeboer.bsky.social•71 days ago

It reminds me of this alessi- piece (lemon juicer) designed by Phillippe Starck.

democracymichelle.bsky.social•70 days ago

Excellent! 😂

drclareharris.bsky.social•69 days ago

🤣

mrsblocking.bsky.social•67 days ago

Exactly!!! Love Philip Stark designs!

tonyinmarin.bsky.social•66 days ago

A classic, E-M d B!

brandonmountainman.bsky.social•31 days ago

I have one it’s beautiful and useful

harshreality13.bsky.social•65 days ago

War of the Worlds

drclareharris.bsky.social•69 days ago

😂😂😂

therhythm.bsky.social•69 days ago

Did you take that pic? It's important to attribute it to the photographer if not.

ssamn.bsky.social•61 days ago

And write alt text.

therhythm.bsky.social•61 days ago

Or something. Don't just give the specs the actual photog posted somewhere and make it look like they took the pic.

It's obvious and sad.

aatosl.bsky.social•64 days ago

Is it genuine?

patricktexas.bsky.social•62 days ago

Yes. It’s a genuine balloon.

aatosl.bsky.social•62 days ago

Or a digital creation.

crexpat.bsky.social•69 days ago

It’s “Colombia”, “journalist” 🙄

lluisa.bsky.social•65 days ago

😂 I was about to say the same thing but decided to check the replies first.

produkshun.bsky.social•73 days ago

I thought it might be a kite. 🤷🏼‍♂️

benkritz.bsky.social•73 days ago

I thought some kind of balloon, maybe.

nite-owl.bsky.social•62 days ago

Type of balloon / kite.

rbrn100.bsky.social•73 days ago

Are they coming to rescue us? 😊

disbelieef.bsky.social•66 days ago

Ain't no drone...unless an artist or mischief maker is behind it. Could be made of paper for all we know

hippie-matt-420.bsky.social•65 days ago

This could be an oddball design, 6 directed thrust pylons (like a harrier jet) fed from from an internal fans or a single jet engine. It still is weird one way or the other... Great Shots

theinvisible-man.bsky.social•64 days ago

You mean Colombia?
“Journalist” lmao

kevinincarolina.bsky.social•67 days ago

Nope its a hot air balloon.

photomatcali.bsky.social•66 days ago

It looks experimental. 🤔

nedisangry.bsky.social•64 days ago

@emmawellspring.bsky.social What do you think it is?

kruper7.bsky.social•71 days ago

It looks… like cgi. Blue background. No reference points.

peacefulbee.bsky.social•70 days ago

I was thinking only the other day, stuff similar to this used to be observed and perceived as UFOs by many in certain places.
Where was this miniature missile?

jdb-1957.bsky.social•72 days ago

Looks creepy

vhmedic24.bsky.social•66 days ago

I miss film.
