But right. There's always some sort of balloon or something. So after that night, the professor's story was published in the local newspaper. And as you can imagine, we've seen this pattern Other Lubbock residents began claiming that they too saw the same lights that night. The lights subsequently became known as the Lubbock Lights and over the weeks, hundreds of residents reported seeing them.

Each time, the lights appeared very suddenly and disappeared the same way, appearing in the night sky for only seconds at a time.

This is another really interesting piece of the puzzle here where it just like, again, I can see why so many people were afraid of it and thinking aliens because if it's this big, this silent, this fast and appearing for only seconds at a time, it really makes it hard to guess what it is, even though it repeats. It has four, like there's a formula here. It's uniformity.

Now, over various encounters and various sets of measurements, thank you, buff minds of the professors, they found the angular velocity to be 30 degrees of an arc per second using their pocket watches and protractors. So some context, right? The entire night sky is 180 degrees. So whatever these lights are, are covering one sixth of the entire night sky in about a second.

So that's kind of what that means. 30 degrees of an arc per second. Now, of course, without the altitude of whatever this thing is, it's nearly impossible to figure out a velocity. So I plugged in some altitudes that are very common to then reverse calculate using 30 degrees of an arc per second what that speed would be. At a plane altitude, that's 38,000 miles per hour.

If we're talking about low Earth orbit, that altitude, it would be 471,000 miles per hour. So... My mind wants to say whatever this thing is, is it's lower than those things. Jesus.

Yeah. Someone just slingshot that thing across the night sky, dude. Yeah. I do want to say, though, if it was at the altitude of... And this is not knowing the altitude of an average shooting star, but I will say that these speeds aren't too far out of the realm of a meteor coming down, so it could still be part of this meteor shower.
