Those Thunderhead balloons are fairly common in recent years. They carry a variety of payloads and can remain aloft for months, although most missions are around a week or two.

Here's a Thunderhead that I caught 3 years ago. At the time it was around 65,000 ft altitude and directly overhead. You can see the payload and its solar panels silhouetted against the envelope of the balloon. At that altitude the balloon is several hundred feet in diameter.

Very bright and obvious in the sky. Lots of UFO reports.

Here's what they look like being launched.

This is going to sound like I am an idiot who doesn't pay attention, but...
About a year ago I was standing out in our yard with some new baby goats. It must have been near Winter because it was around 6:30 PM EST, and it was dark out.
Looking up I saw hundreds of alien ships moving along in single file, equally spaced!!
From horizon to horizon, a line of tiny lights moving across the sky.
I KNEW we were done for!!!


Turns out it was just Starlink satellites.
I found out online when they would pass by again the next night, and messed with my wifes head. :)
I had a very similar experience 1-2 years ago. Really messed with me for a bit until it got figured out.

Yeah had a similar experience. Though sadly no goats were involved.

No wonder his system is leaking... Everyone knows that torsion field powered systems are much superior to the ancient hydraulic ones.
It's a classic saucer of the Anunnaki Empire. He doesn't wanna RestoMod, he's a purist.
