UFOS IN TEXAS?

Probably not, but everyone saw it in Texas when they took to the sky in anticipation of a solar eclipse. Do you think it's a UFO?

UFO IN TEXAS? Probably not, but everyone saw this in Texas when starting into the skies as they waited for the solar eclipse. Do you think it is a UFO?

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Mounting

Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)

Booster, the rocket and tracks

For UFOs often take stages of rockets, parts of space ships burning in the atmosphere, the launches of various missile technology for military purposes, etc., and traces from them. They attract attention mostly in the dark, but in the day time have a greater aura of mystery.

Formation of the track of the launch vehicle occurs in the tropopause (the layer between the troposphere and stratosphere), which sharply reduced the vertical temperature gradient. The emergence of the so-called "jellyfish" influenced by water vapor, which are subject to enhanced condensation.

Airplane / Helicopter

An aircraft heavier than air for flights in the atmosphere (and outer space (e.g. An orbital aircraft)), using the aerodynamic lift of a glider to keep itself in the air (when flying within the atmosphere) and the thrust of a power (propulsion) installation for maneuvering and compensating for the loss of total mechanical energy to drag. 



A rotorcraft in which the lift and thrust required for flight are created by one or more main rotors powered by an engine or several engines. They differ in maneuverability, the ability to hover and almost vertical takeoff.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

Externally, it looks like some kind of shadow of an airplane or something similar on the clouds (the plane should be jet, judging by the speed, and is above the clouds).

This is probably a rocket project called APEP designed exclusively for atmospheric measurements at a time when the Earth's atmosphere cools down. This is one of many eclipse experiments conducted under the auspices of NASA. APEP is named after a snake-like deity from ancient Egyptian mythology, an enemy of the solar deity Ra.

Also, NASA scientists observed the solar eclipse from jet planes. Thus, they were probably the ones who were spotted above the clouds.

News: NASA will launch sounding rockets into the Moon's shadow during a solar eclipse

NASA will launch three sounding rockets during the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, to study how the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere are affected when sunlight dims momentarily over part of the planet.

The rockets for the study of atmospheric disturbances around the eclipse Trajectory (APEP) will be launched from NASA's Wallops flight complex in Virginia to study disturbances in the ionosphere that occur when the Moon eclipses the Sun.

News: Scientists will explore the eclipse from jet planes

The best view of the total solar eclipse on April 8 will be provided by scientists aboard NASA WB-57 jets, which will rise to an altitude of more than 15,000 meters and will explore eclipses.
