Lights, camera, what was that? This "plane" flew from the south west to the north east which is a flight pattern never seen if you are familiar with elmira ny. And what is up with the cruising altitude of this one given the fact that there was no airport in the direction it came upon me. Odd. Note the lights that come on when it is overhead.

  • @cbcoza Yes, I understand they are turn-off-able, so I encourage everyone I come across to check with FlightAware(dot)com immediately after sighting/filming (actual position of real aircraft delayed 3-5 minutes typically) to recognize/eliminate any commercial traffic behavior. My area frequently used by SWA, whose pilots check/turn on/off landing lights 25 miles away from PIT, giving lessons bet real & 'fakers' -- main giveaway is timing of flashes not even, sharp turns, hovering & no radar hit

  • @seeingUFOsPA I have seen all your videos. My point here is that we need to investigate a little more before labelling things as "Fake", "Out of this World", etc. In this case its not @bikinihill making that label in the title or description but commenter's. Being a pilot, strobes can be turned off and if I really wanted to, I can add or change them, although not legal, it can be done for some scrupulous means. They (being us) get away with this easier at night.

  • @cbcoza Check out my video series from 11/12/10 -- FAA complete radar hit report shows no aircraft near me at that time during close flyover of craft mimicking every known lighting on jets, including NV panels military jets use for night landings. That combined with showing crafts over hilltop with trees clearly seen BEHIND them, is proof that whoever this group is, they're certainly smart enough to observe & copy our aircraft appearance to avoid being pursued or shot at. watch?v=m-PQKb7cPrw

  • @seeingUFOsPA I think they are there, just that this video does not show them well, I can certainly see what would be green on the right wing and subdued red on the left. As for the strobes on the wing tips, this is still normal. Most (If not all now) Boeing models have leading edge fixed colour lights and trailing edge white strobes or fixed with additional strobes on side of wing tip, that depends further if winglets are on or not. Config may change.

  • It was a distress signal or they were landing

  • If that was done in color, a real plane HAS TO HAVE steady burning RED wing tip light on left and steady GREEN wing tip light on RIGHT wing.

    Lack of them means a "faker". At no time would a real pilot turn them off.
