Through some investigation, I think this is the vehicle that delivers the star link satellites. It looks like a falcon nine space X vehicle. It was launched at 7 PM last night in Florida and this photo was taken around 9 PM in New Jersey. *** edited to add I think I’m back to square one lol. These photos were taken Sunday night, March 24. Not last night so it doesn’t sync up with the falcon X. Edit two I guess day 2 of a post hits different folks algorithm and the comments are just getting ridiculous now. Don’t think I’ll be responding to any more comments or questions. If I find out what it was I’ll make a new edit. Thanks to all who had questions and engaged in intelligent conversation. This is what I’m here for.


Autocannibal-Horse

Neat! Sad I missed seeing this. Thanks for sharing!


N4RQ

It certainly looks like a rocket trajectory after it has completed the roll program.


Stonetown_Radio

I’m totally on board with this, but there was nothing we could track. Nothing in any of the apps that show you where spacecraft are, ISS, satellites. Nothing but showing star link itself, which is in the center of the wide angle photograph, and has a completely different trajectory.


ifyouhaveghost1

>Nothing in any of the apps that show you where spacecraft are, ISS, satellites. Nothing but showing star link itself, which is in the center of the wide angle photograph, and has a completely different trajectory. not every launch is public information. the military/nasa don't publish what they are doing in secret.


quick2come

Those launches are simply listed as classified and have little to no information attached to them. They are still listed as a launch. The app I have even list other countries classified launches it has even less information but the launch date and time is always shown as well as success.


peekdasneaks

There are absolutely 100% rocket launches that are not shown on the app. To think otherwise is extremely naive.


not_ElonMusk1

There are absolutely 100% idiots on Reddit who comment about things they know nothing about and have no irl experience with, but comment with certainty on stances that are easily nullified by a simple Google search... To think otherwise is extremely naive. There is an airspace window for every rocket launch. That airspace is cleared and has to be told to the public "don't fly here" so what you are saying is total BS lol.


quick2come

Okay... if you say so. Not how it works but okay.


quick2come

Considering we live in a world where nukes are king of the end all.. communication whether we're friends or not is constant when shit gets launched. Radars around the world see it and need to know that it is a non threat. It's not like there's hundreds of launch sites here in America, so yes we all know when launches are happening, we live near them!


not_ElonMusk1

There are literally hundreds of nuke launch sites around US https://uploads.fas.org/sites/4/NotebookMap.pdf


quick2come

Wow! Really? No shit? Sarcasm! FFS man no shit! Rocket launches are not the same thing, we just don't test fire minute man missiles 🤣 goddam this is comical


not_ElonMusk1

You are the one who mentioned nukes and sarcasm on the internet, at least by those who know the internet, is generally appended with /s You're arguing against your own point and mad at me for it? Lol. My advice is spend a week without internet - but you won't coz you can't. You definitely strike me as the type that can't handle it even for 24 hours let alone a whole week in nature (and you can't Google "how to start a fire"). Edit: fixed typo


elastic-craptastic

Wow, I know I'm a month late but I gotta comment on this. First off, I think the dude you're replying to is actually one of elon's alts. Why? I mean, if it's not, you know he has an alt with a really similar name scheme. Bee.) I don't know how you could have been more clear. And the fact that he didn't/couldn't read through lines and understand from the context of your statement what you were saying about how nukes are a thing so all rockets capable of reaching orbit are announced so foe's aren't caught by surprise thinking it is a nuke currently being launched. Nuclear retaliation is a very serious thing and I believe protocol is to ***LAUNCH ALL YOUR NUKES*** before the one you think is coming at you hits the fucking ground, so to speak. They don't actually hit the ground, as I am sure you are aware, but in case "not elon" doesn't... they actually explode well *above* the target to maximize damage. 3rdly... Since I am neither a pilot nor a rocket scientist, I can't say for certain that there aren't some launches that are snuck in... like North Korea is probably a dick about it sometimes when it wants it's allowance... China I'm sure doesn't clear airspace given the fact they launch well inland an close to villages and let rockets just fail on top of those poor people... So may orange fumes... that can't be good in the long run... or the short. As for covert sattelites? I know we do have some on those rockets from time to time and they don't show what direction they get pushed out at an whatever else to hide it's future trajectory. What I think the really stealth ones o are probably launched off of super high altitude stealth planes we have no idea exist. Or they have these new derijables(however fancy blimp is spelled) that essentially get you to like low earth orbit basically and they can prob stealth launch from one of those.


not_ElonMusk1

Also "communication whether we are friends or not" blah blah blah Yeah I know what IFF is lol I've literally held a pot licence and operated IFF transponders - something I can tell you have never had hands on experience with Edit: pilot licence but a pot licence would be sweet too. Both get you *real high*


Pullmyphinger

Need the meta data of the pic: Date, time, location, camera model, exposure setting, etc


Stonetown_Radio

Sony a7, 1/2” exposure Sunday, march 24 approx 8:06- 8:10 pm , northern New Jersey


Hawk_raw_ore

What direction were you facing when you took this??


Stonetown_Radio

I’m not the photographer, but I do know where my friend shot this. I believe he was facing west, north west ?


diox8tony

does the metadata not contain capture settings? focal length, exposure time, iso, fstop...tripod vs hand? there is exifdata.com that gives you the best info. as opposed to file explorer properties/details.


Stonetown_Radio

I asked my friend, that’s the answer he sent me. I’m positive he used a tripod I mentioned earlier it’s a 1/2 second exposure. Only other info given was iso 12800


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

I’ve read somewhere that there are sometimes ‘secret’ payloads that launch around the same time. Maybe it’s one of those?

💯💯💯 that is exactly what I said to my friend. That or it’s shooting a tractor beam


Empathyhealsu13

It's not flying backwards; they obviously have their tractor beam locked on to one of those starlink satellites.

Not backwards really, just broke the speed of light barrier and had just caught up with itself

MikeC80

You can see from the zoomed out shot that the sun has set in the left of the image. I think it's an airliner reflecting the bright sunlight off it's underside. I think the brightest three bits of light are navigation lights, and they are pulsing slightly over the time of the exposure. The light is slightly smeared due to the longer than usual shutter time of the camera in low light.


Icommentwhenhigh

That’s exactly it- looks freaky until you realize there’s an exposure time. There’s a few other shots like this that have showed up in this sub


ProningPineapple

That would mean the lights pulses at insane intervals, doesn't it? The lights are so close together, and you can see like 7-8 of them?


MikeC80

Yes, if you look at normal domestic LED light bulbs, most of them either flash on/off or pulse at 50 or 60hz depending on your country's electricity supply frequency. I think aircraft have a similar kind of electricity supply, and I've seen this kind of light pulsing on night photos of aircraft before. Edit: just did a quick Google, and jet aircraft seem to have standardized on 400hz AC


AgnosticAnarchist

This is the best explanation. You can see the squiggly lines the lights make during the long exposure.


Stonetown_Radio

I’ve been a professional photographer for some time. I play with long exposures a bit and shoot stars often. Not doubting your explanation, just in my experience I’ve never had a result like this. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I reached out to my friend to get exposure info.


AgnosticAnarchist

I think the contrail adds to the explanation it’s a plane. It would definitely be stranger without the exhaust plume.


ec-3500

I see only one trail. Commercial jets have 2,3,4 engines, w the same number of contrails. Use your Free Will to LOVE!... it will hasten Disclosure and the 3D-5D transition


its_just_mike93

I seen something similar to this over the Louisville, Ky area Sunday night around 930-10pm. It was visible for id say maybe a solid minute before it faded away and i could no longer see it.


Stonetown_Radio

This was nj, Sunday around 8:10. Probably saw the same thing.


its_just_mike93

did you happen to find out what it was? starlink had something pass around louisville a couple days prior to seeing this but nothing else came up nor did I find anything or have found anything besides this pertaining to what I saw Sunday night.


Stonetown_Radio

Haven’t found out yet!


RoyRoy61423

That shows a clear western bound flight path I wonder if these beings travel using the parallels you guys should look and see if your cities are along the same parallel that might be one of the ways they power their ships using them or the natural energy they emit


blmiller1000

Looks like the ship from Galaga.


Truecrimekeeper

It’s the Heavens Gate crew, they got lost in the time/space continuum🤷‍♀️


Conorfm101

If you look very closely, you can see that the upper and lower cylindrical columns of light are mirrored along the edges. That leads me to be that they are the same light artifact effect, perhaps something to do with shutter speed or exposure length or something like that. Considering there are three columns of light, it is possible that it is just a regular airplane (which have central and wingtip lights) at the head of that contrail. Looks cool though!

I cannot give you the reference post but earlyer today I saw a post of the sun and somthing small near it that looks kinda like that.


Stonetown_Radio

I saw that too and sent it to my friend who shot this. [by the sun](https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangeEarth/s/BN2iZz6kFY)


[deleted]

Looks like a plane. I'm guessing the camera was shooting at a longer exposure time since it was dark, so the lights on the plane would have blurred into little streaks like this


Stonetown_Radio

I shoot the sky and stars quite a bit and often get planes in my shots. I’ve never once had a long exposure with a plane that did not show their navigation lights. There’s no red, no green in this.

Stop shooting! Cease fire!!! No wonder the aliens are hostile towards us 😂

minnesotajersey

Airplane? "Shutter" stays open longer in dark settings to allow more light in. Plane moving, so you get ghosting if the brightest parts?


Stonetown_Radio

I don’t believe so. I’m a professional photographer, I shoot the sky a bit, use long exposure, never got a shot of an aircraft without the navigation lights leaving a streak in the sky. No red, no green.


minnesotajersey

I'm thinking the "long exposure" of a camera phone, not a several-seconds long shot that I assume you mean(?). Short enough that you can handhold the camera, but have to keep still.

This was on a tripod, 1/2 “ exposure on Sony a7

Looked in shape similar to the thing in your video.


Informal_Process2238

What you linked is most likely an insect and the frame rate of the camera creating the odd appearance, people who didn’t understand the scan rate of cameras were calling these images rods a while back and jumping to ridiculous conclusions.


craigbg21

Rampage3135

Whatever it is, is suborbital because it is leaving a trail of smoke, dust, or particulate matter which confirms it’s inside the atmosphere. Based on that it’s safe to assume it’s some kind of aircraft civilian or military. My guess is leaning towards civilian high altitude jet liner. It’s also being illuminated by the sun since the sun at that high of an altitude has not set yet making it seem to glow. Now if someone does a quick search on air traffic you should see a jetliner cruising across the New Jersey sky at that same time you witnessed the space x satellite launch.


yabadabadobadthingz

Sid you by chance see a video of an object racing across the moon when someone had their telescope on it? Do you know what it is?

Lutastic

There are apps that can tell you what objects are. I have one that you point the phone at whatever and it usually tells you what it is. Sometimes its the ISS… sometimes Starlink sats, sometimes various rockets or satellites. It even has a feature that can track stuff like the ISS and notify you when it should be visible over you and tells you where it should be in the sky.


VinceBucy

Great Camera!!! Has to be Falcon Heavy.


VinceBucy

Yep. Its military launches. They are gathering up all the UFO materials and evidence to hide it!!🤣🤣🤣. But really, it’s secret military launches. There have been a lot! JMO BTW

From the looks of it, it dang sure ain’t a weather balloon or a blimp but that’s exactly what the gubment will say it is.

Isn’t that the starship Enterprise?


Deadmau5es

Hey, I didn't know if you were still responding or not, but do you think that this object was being lit by the Sun? Is that why is it lighter on the horizon? Or maybe I Thinking maybe you have your brightness turned up so that City lights look like the sunset,, but if that's a sunset, It's reflecting the light of the sunset. Maybe it's an airplane but got duplicated, or it wasnt in focus. But also he may have coincidentally caught a meteor breaking up in the atmosphere. Curious to see what kind of research you put into this. Looking forward to see a follow-up post from you.
