An Incomplete List of the Times We’ve Panicked Over Lights in the Sky
It seems like we can’t go a month without some new “mysterious lights in the sky” panic sweeping across the nation. And honestly, who can blame us? I mean, it’s not every day that we get to see a giant UFO hovering over a small town or a massive drone fleet descending upon a major city.
Let’s take a look at just a few recent examples of when we freaked out over lights in the sky:
* When NASA Lost Contact With Voyager 1, Amateur Astronomers Answered the Call
You know what’s more terrifying than a potentially lost space probe? The thought that it might be accompanied by an alien mothership waiting to abduct us all.
* UnitedHealth Gets Luigi Mangione T-Shirt Pulled With Copyright Complaint
Wait, no, this isn’t about lights in the sky at all. Carry on, then.
But I digress. Back to the important stuff: panic-fueling UFO sightings and drone invasions!
* Gizmodo’s own coverage of Mysterious Drones Are Flying Over New Jersey at Night
Because nothing says “not a conspiracy” like mysterious drones flying over a densely populated area at night.
* Turkish Aerospace Company Attacked by Gunmen, Four Dead and 14 Wounded
Who needs an invasion force when you can just send in some heavily armed assassins?
And let’s not forget the countless times we’ve panicked over things that weren’t even lights in the sky! Like those “drones” that turned out to be just regular old planes.
But seriously, folks, it seems like every few weeks we have a new reason to freak out over something flying (or hovering) above us. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe some sort of intergalactic invasion force disguised as surveillance drones?
We’ll be keeping an eye on things and bringing you all the latest updates as this story develops.
