“This is not a drill!”, Logan Paul announced to this 5.4-million Twitter audience as he shared a video of several sky objects rapidly approaching him and his friends from a long distance. The blogger even managed to capture one of the objects emitting a very bright string of light before fading out, which was unsurprisingly accompanied by several “wows” and other shock-induced utterances from his companions who also witnessed the event.
“Someone make this make sense!”, the YouTuber begged as he posted the clip.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! We spotted 10-15 very distant, extremely fast lights moving across the sky & caught this one “glowing” as it went... someone make this make sense! pic.twitter.com/uXPzDkzbPM

The video has provoked a flow of speculations from Paul’s followers who immediately saw it as evidence of aliens.

Some said that there was nothing unnatural in the phenomenon, as the blogger simply caught on camera a part of meteor shower.
Meteor shower?

personally had a similar sighting in Iceland last fall...the object suddenly emitted a very bright light like this. super bizarre. it was too high in the sky and too fast to be a plane.

potentially part of meteor shower.

But others speculated that the mysterious objects could have been n Elon Musk’s internet-bearing satellites which have been seen in some parts of New Zealand this February, making quite a light-show as they reflected sunlight from their surfaces.
It’s @elonmusk new satellites we saw it in New Zealand not too long ago

Possibly SpaceX satellites that went into orbit recently. Saw them when they flew over NZ

Many, however, still insisted that the blogger filmed some NASA-triggered mystery which is yet to be uncovered.
This Tweet has been taken down by @NASA
