Former NASA Astronaut Leroy Chiao came forward this week with claims about seeing “two metallic spherical orbs” streak by while he was flying a small plane from Colorado to Texas earlier this year.

    “I don’t know what it was,” Chiao admitted.

    Cripes, even I know what it was.

    In the '50’s, B Movies were prevalent and everyone was seeing flying saucers. In the '90’s, the X-Files was on and suddenly everyone was seeing flying triangles with lights all over them instead. Now it’s the 2020’s, every third headline is about drones, so everyone is seeing “drones” everywhere.

    Boy, it sure is absolutely completely unpredictable coincidence that people always report seeing mysterious objects in the sky that perfectly correlate with the widespread news and entertainment media of their time!

      It’s definitely just a coincidence that it’s getting pushed by the news at a time like this. There is literally nothing else going on in this country nor the world.

      Everyone, please look for the UFOs. Keep your eyes to the skies. And don’t look back this way yet, we are not finishing robbing you.

    I don’t think I’ve heard of any of these drone/orb/ufo things anywhere but inside the usa.

      There are reports from all over the world, some state militaries are way more open about them than others, especially the air forces of Brazil and Chile

      The Japanese have a rich history with flying saucers. And their saucers have a very distinct style that is different from the classic Roswellian look.
