from the article : show a bright funnel in cone shape leading an apparent cork-screw tail behind it. The light is seemingly shining downward, then changing course sharply, and then finally disappearing. Link in comments. Hi can someone shime in about it? Not sure if it’s legit or a if it’s a psi op from china. Just right before reddit went down I saw a post about that in r/UFOs . Sorry for the multiple edits πŸ˜”

That looks a ton more like that one time a rocket screwed up really high up and started spinning, venting fuel. The fuel caught the sunlight and looked god damn surreal.

Here is the link where I found the pic : https://www.latest-ufo-sightings.net/2018/05/ufo-seen-over-western-beijing-throughout-some-areas-of-northern-china.html

Edit: thank you for the explanation make sense.

I have been trying to edit the post but lemmy is clunky.

Also on the first pic look like a regular spot light.

    • If you are here because you want to make fun of or grandstand over all of the silly people who believe that UFO/UAPs may exist, you are not welcome. Just block the community and go about your day.
  2. Be Civil
    • No trolling or being disruptive.
    • No insults or personal attacks.
    • No accusations that other users are shills/agents. If you have some kind of evidence of this, please report instead.
    • No hate speech or abusive speech based on race, religion, sex/gender, or sexual orientation.
    • No harassment, threats, or advocating violence.
    • No witch hunts or doxxing.
    • No summarily dismissive comments (e.g. β€œSwamp gas.”).
  3. Posts must be related to UFO/UAPs
  4. Avoid duplicate posts
  5. Link posts should contain the linked content and a submission statement
    • Submission statements should contain a summary of the content, why it is relevant to UFOs, and optionally personal perspectives.
