Things That Are NOT UFOs

'that shape is actually rather practical. top side sheds rain, has some windows for light, elevated to keep out rainwater and at least some predators and has an entry ramp to get in.'

Yep @marhawkman I;ve watched enough episodes of 'Raney's Homestead Rescue' to recognize a good chicken coop when I see one ha! ha!

My chickens would have sat on the top of this to roost. Yes, I had stupid chickens. For some reason, giving them a lovely, large, straw-bedded coop with anti-fox protection wasn't good enough when there were trees, the roof of a shed and the back of the sofa to roost on.
 
The chickens we kept when I was little had their coop in a little crab apple orchard. So they had trees to perch in if they felt like it. We were never troubled with foxes in spite of living in the countryside. What did carry our flock off was the damn fowl pest outbreak in the late fifties. Our hens didn't get it but one of the neighbours did so we had to have ours put down. The day the 'men from the ministry' came to kill them is forever in my heart as I cried my eyes out. A formative event I'm sure :(

Understood mate.
 
This is a time-lapse film of the comet 2024 A3, as it very slowly sinks below the horizon (this clip is considerably sped up). Found at Spaceweather.com.
The reason I am posting it here is the large number of so-called Starlink 'racetrack' satellite flares that can be seen nearby.

Starlink 'racetrack' flares are being reported in their hundreds by pilots and observers on the ground, who think they are UAPs flying around in a so-called 'racetrack' pattern. Instead, they are satellites from Elon Musk's 'Starlink' constellation, catching a quick reflection from the Sun as they pass directly above it. The satellites are programmed to orient themselves to minimise reflections of this kind, so that we can't see them (there are literally thousands of them up there) but there is one angle where they always catch the Sun, as can be seen in this movie.

Bit of an eye-opener, eh!

That film is oddly fascinating - I could watch it on repeat for hours.
 
It is. Note that the comet doesn't move perceptibly with respect to the stars; in fact the intrinsic movement of the comet is in the opposite direction, up towards the top left, so it gets a little higher (and dimmer) each night. The tail of the comet is actually moving in front of the nucleus, as I pointed out in a different post.

Most of the fast moving lights are airplanes, or ordinary satellites, but the Starlink satellites are concentrated in a small patch in the centre of the frame. This 'patch' is moving slowly from left to right, since it is directly above the hidden Sun (which is, of course, below the horizon).
 
A senior British official confirms to Fox that the UK has deployed about 60 personnel to help protect US military bases and determine who is behind the recent drone swarms testing US military base security in recent days since Nov 20. Describing the incidents as “unusual.”“This is a serious set of circumstances and we are working closely with the US, sending a range of personnel to help.”A senior US official confirmed to Fox “the drones do not appear to be those of hobbyists,” an indication of a likely aggressive state actor working perhaps through a proxy.

Comments:
Could be aliens from Uranus but more likely to to be Russians from Vladivostok
Appears to be the work of the Riddler
 
At least some of these 'drones' were the result of an enthusiast flying illuminated LED kites within the restricted area around Langley Air Force Base.

A foolish thing to do, and possibly mischievous; but not really an aggressive state actor.

Hmmm... kite mounted gopro? I dunno, big maybe I guess?
 
I've mentioned the swarm of reports from pilots who are seeing Starlink satellites on orbit reflecting light from the Sun below the horizon. It appears that this phenomenon is even more impressive when seen from the ISS.
