Title: Geese / aeroplane
Post by: Penninehillbilly on January 18, 2022, 10:56:25 am
I know this sounds crazy, must be a coincidence,
This morning there was a skein of geese flying over, I was watching as the formation was changing, heading NW.
They suddenly started to veer round to SW, high above was an aeroplane, heading SW, they continued SW out of sight over the hill, in direct line of the aeroplane .
As I said, sounds crazy, but could they have seen the aeroplane and followed it?
Just seemed odd to see.

The mysteries of nature, but maybe:

"Belfast, this is Flight GOS25 heading for Cork and calling-in for sitrep" ... "Reading you GOS25 - your flight path at present altitude is good" ... "Thank you Belfast, but could you scan our wake at maybe 500m altitude as we believe/are concerned we are being followed" ... "Roger that GOS25 and I can advise that we are aware of an Amazon Prime test-flight of goose look-alike endurance-drones flying in formation along your flight path.  They are scheduled to disperse over the Irish Sea and land on the IoM having formed into the shape of a smile, we are told, before landing:  you might wish to advise your passengers to look out of your starboard windows at 18:00 as the drones are carrying lights just like in the adverts.  Good evening GOS25 and have a memorable flight."
