Location: United States, a specific "area" I do not take credit, this is only a SS from YouTube.

It appears to be something new! What do you think and why do you believe it?

I was driving down to Richmond, Virginia from Maryland this morning, and I spotted this weird aircraft with a light behind it. I got this video and then turn it off cause I was going to get off at the next exit and record it. By the time I got off the exit I was just in amazement looking at it thinking what the hell is this about to get my phone out and I see the aircraft boost off fast. That little trail of smoke or steam or whatever it was behind it blew away fast once the aircraft took off, kinda like in the movies. Literally in two seconds from boosting it was gone. Does anybody else have footage of this? Does anybody know what this aircraft is?

I’m a little freaked out because what the f*ck I’ve never seen a jet or anything as fast as this did. I’m not big into aliens or anything but I’m not in the mind frame where I believe those things dont exist.

#Doswell, VA

Open! Can Anyone Identify the Exact Variant of This Full-Scale Me 262 Replica?

My grandfather had this full-scale Me 262 model, and I’m trying to determine which variant it represents (e.g. A-1a, A-2a, or another version).
I’d appreciate any help identifying it from its external features, cockpit, markings, or other details.
If possible, I’d love to narrow it down to the specific variant rather than just the Me 262 in general.

Open! How is this possible? I took the pics in Raw mode because the chopper was flying unusually close.

I sent the pics to AI for info on the chopper and AI told me that it’s a photoshopped or AI created craft do to the impossibility of it being able to fly without a tail rotor (and a few other things, but the tail rotor is the most obvious)

This is a piece of theming at Happy Valley (Chengdu China). I know it's a piece made for the park, but what is it based on? To me the cockpit and tail shape look like a Consolidated P2Y. But the hull is way too fat to be one.

Near Oakland Zoo today (10/9/2026) and we just found out there was an air show. Blue Angels had just flown overhead prior to this clip, but didn’t see this one quite well enough to ID and I’m no expert.

I have an 8 year old boy who is dying to know if it was them flying by again or something else!

Oakland, CA at 4:23 PM.

Spotted it out of my window at work. Seemed to be flying very slowly compared to the usual planes going overhead. I appreciate the footage isn’t the best.

Nothing in flight radar at the time it passed.

Spotted at 11:40 today.
