Thanks!

Scratch base in Maine as I see Loring was closed by then.

I'm not one to believe in #alien visitors from #space. I do believe there are expert researchers in such things that are knowledgeable in mystery objects to quickly point obvious that things it could be. If you look at the video on a big screen you can clearly see it is spinning.

One thing I can add is that we have a large #military base nearby (east coast Canada) and it was in that general direction, but to the north of it and at least 5 miles/km away from it's boundaries. I'm pretty sure it was not a helicopter, but perhaps it was an advanced drone. I once saw a super quiet #stealth jet fly overhead at night (the exhaust was like a #F-22 #Raptor, but it was more triangular in shape). It was only a few thousand feet above me and blew me away by how advanced looking and quiet it was. It had to be American and it's flight path was in line with bases in Labrador or Greenland - albeit it was more likely on approach to a base in northern Maine. I assume this spinning object was another advanced experimental flying object.

I'd sure appreciate any thoughts.

This was another screenshot.

This was a screenshot I did at the time.

I say this as a liberal from a very strong liberal family who helped liberal candidates in former elections. I haven't changed my basic beliefs much but my party was taken over by socialist extremists/communists. I'm still an old school centrist, but now I'm called far right at times by people who are delusional and out of touch with reality to the point where they can't see they are very very far left. Reality will likely set in hard someday when confronted by the rapidly growing power of the Muslim conservative world.

Nobody can change human nature. There will always be left, right, center and in between. Going extreme one way or the other will just invoke an extreme backlash someday. In the end, just many more senseless deaths/victims. Until we all accept a core belief in open and respectful dialogue and willingness to negotiate acceptable compromises our human condition will just continue to deteriorate. After all there's always evil people around who love to capitalize on conflict and chaos.

Well that was weird. Came fast, hit hard, and left quick. So much for a nice show tonight.

Bz going south again at -4 nT. Needs to be strongly negative for a good light show. It was positive a little earlier which was a bummer.
