Let’s talk about those mysterious lights you might be seeing in the sky lately. But before we dive in, let me be extremely clear: DO NOT SHINE LASERS INTO THE SKY. This isn’t just friendly advice – it’s crucial for your safety and freedom.
History Repeats Itself
Periods of social tension have always brought waves of mysterious aerial sightings. In 1896, thousands across America reported “mystery airships” drifting through the night sky. In 1938, the radio drama “The War of the Worlds” convinced many that aliens were invading New Jersey. In 1967, Southern England faced its own flying saucer panic. The 1947 Roswell incident spawned decades of conspiracy theories.
What do all these incidents have in common? They were products of their time, reflecting the fears and tensions of societies under stress. Sound familiar?
What You’re Actually Seeing
Those lights in the sky? They’re almost certainly regular aircraft. Yes, planes and helicopters continue to operate during civil unrest. Law enforcement aircraft, medical helicopters, commercial flights – they’re all still up there doing their jobs. Some of them may be looking for rogue drones.

And once again, because it bears repeating: DO NOT SHINE LASERS INTO THE SKY.
Why This is Deadly Serious
Shining a laser at aircraft is a federal crime. It’s not a minor offense – we’re talking about potential prison time. The FAA takes this extremely seriously, and they will find you. It is surprisingly easy to track the source of the laser. You will go to jail.
DO NOT SHINE LASERS INTO THE SKY.
Using Your Common Sense
Let’s think this through logically. If you believe you’re seeing something extraordinary, what exactly do you hope to accomplish by shining a laser at it? Best case scenario, you’re interfering with legitimate aircraft operations. Worst case scenario, you’re drawing unwanted attention from law enforcement, enemies of the state, or, if you really believe in extraterrestrials, potentially hostile visitors.
If aliens make first contact, do you really want them to start with you? DO NOT SHINE LASERS INTO THE SKY.
Moving Forward
Stay calm. Think critically. Remember that throughout history, periods of social upheaval have generated waves of mysterious sightings that later turned out to have perfectly ordinary explanations.
And please, for everyone’s sake, 🚫DO NOT SHINE LASERS INTO THE SKY🚫
