@mattyglesias shoutout to Tyler Rogoway for putting together the best-reasoned piece on this. thedrive.com/the-war-zone/4… The stuff on electronic warfare is the key. No, the UFOs weren't flying at hypersonic speeds and pulling 700gs - it's very likely radar spoofing

thedrive.comAdversary Drones Are Spying On The U.S. And The Pentagon Acts Like They’re UFOsThe U.S. military seems aloof to the fact that it’s being toyed with by a terrestrial adversary and key capabilities may be compromised as a result.

There was a bunch of stuff about UFOs in the last few weeks, but the point this guy is making is essentially: It's probably radar spoofing, but no one is allowed to disclose US military radar vulnerabilities.

Bird's eye view of juggling.

I think this is a telephoto lens from very far away to make the balls appear to barely change in size, but I'm just guessing.

I just really like how the sunset over the train tracks looks, and I’m probably going to keep taking new versions of this photo.
