Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 21, 2023

One of those may be a balloon. Apparently ya never can tell now a days!

Hard to pin down exact numbers but I’ve seen claims for over 3,000 active satellites and about just as many inactive. That is all history now. Plans were to launch several thousand more quite regularly. I wonder how it will pan out. As Arlo says, it’s creepy when you think about it.

Anybody remember the furor over Sputnik?

Spy satellite?

A few days ago I saw the ISS and a meteor cross paths.

I remember in the late fifties that we’d go out on our back patio after dark and look for the Echo 1 and 2 satellites to go overhead. The newspaper even published the time and direction to look every day.

I usually just look for the international space station. I do ham radio so I download signals from it and try to talk to the astronauts have not got to talk to them yet but I have downloaded many pictures with my radio

Smile. You’re on Candid Satellite.

I’ve seen the space station only once. It was very interesting to see.

Fear not they’re just some blown off course weather balloons.

Thousands of internet satellites launched by Musk are already interferring with astronomers ability to make observations, and it’s only going to get worse.

Ready. Aim. Fire the Sidewinder missile.

Maybe all those satelites will block enough Sun light to compensate for global warming?

Without a powerful telescope, the geosynchronous ones appear as stars.

Also, only a very small percentage of human life understands how much our world is satellite dependent.

My father worked 3rd shift, he knew when to look for satellites. This was many years ago before there were 1000s of them.

Space garbage, which will eventually fall back to earth. Someplace

Star light, star bright,First star I see tonight,I wish I may, I wish I might,aww nuts it’s a satellite

Smartphones are scarier. I call them “NSA-approved personal surveillance devices.”

(Someone else might have mentioned that before in here, and I just stole his/her idea.)

There is so much junk circling our planet it’s a wonder they don’t start just crashing into each other and falling from the sky. All those invisible signals and energy waves pointing down at us must cause some damage in ways we aren’t aware of as yet. JMHO.

Space junk!

I think this will amaze you — Stuff In Space https://stuffin.space/

According to UCS, there are 6,542 satellites, out of which 3,372 satellites are active and 3,170 satellites are inactive, as recorded by 1st January, 2021.

Are they sure it isn’t balloons?

Look! Up in the sky!

What a creepy thought. We are being spied on day and night.

I don’t see anything creepy about the fact that we are a spacefaring civilization. I think it’s wonderful.

…and they can see YOU TOO, Arlo!

Every new thing gets abused evenutally.

Somewhere in a dark room, some man is looking at you pointing at him…

Maybe a couple are UFOs. Wave at em and say Hi. Who knows what may happen…..

If I can see you, you can see me… but why would you want to?

…just try to find a place humans haven’t trashed. :-/

Last week I persuaded a bunch off friends to step outside an watch a train of Starlink satellites pass overhead. Very cool.

Elon, get out of this body!!

Is Elon helping the NWO with all his satellites?
