    What the **** was going on tonight?

    Sat in hot tub tonight (vodka and tonic before you ask) and there was **** loads of aircraft flying in convoy, presumably circling Humberside airport.

    Could see 6 or 7 at any one time, but they kept coming. I’d guess a dozen at least, although more than 30 went past before they started thinning out (obviously same ones stacked to land, but given there was no time you couldn’t see any during that, but I could only see the West to East flights, not the loop further South there must have been loads of them)

    Guessed helicopters by the speed they disappeared, presumably landing.

    Could have been aliens of course. Which is a shame as it’s an embarrassing time to be asked to take anyone to our leader!

    We had a twin prop go over our house 20 or so times today. Watched it on skytracker and it seemed to be surveying the oil pipeline that passes nearby.

    Loads of surveying going on all over the country. very clear skys

    This was like being in a scene from Bladerunner though

    Well it wasn’t raining...and I was in a hot tub rather than skulking around a backstreet looking for serial numbers on snake skin...but other than that practically the same

    How had I never even heard of Elon Musks Starlink satellites until now?

    Weird ****...and I didn’t like it. Can’t be doing with them buzzing round all over the place ruining my view

    Maybe could have been a party of Saudi billionaires coming to buy HCAFC.

    On a serious note, might be workers from the rigs being allowed ashore.
