A squadron of nazi blimps must've strayed off course during training...

Would be interesting to see the guesttimates on how large those UFOs are, how high they are above the moon's surface and how fast they'd have to be going.

10-20km supposedly. Some astronomy autists mathed it out with tracking software.

Those would be Super Star Destroyer scale blimps.

Amazed as I am that they stuck to those ridiculous Daft Punk spacesuits...I'm even more incredulous that they actually built the interior of the Crew Dragon like the fucking Tesla Concept with the floating chairs and massive LED control panels. This is the crew for the first Dragon flight training in an actual Crew Dragon capsule.

The future is here and it is SEXY AF

Glad to see NASA on a rocket even if they are hanging on SpaceX's nuts after being ineffective for decades.

Please tell me that one of their first astronauts is not named Ripley.

Also, OMG, worst product placement bullshit since Transformers, amirite?!

Take it from UFO guy.
900% fake.
The clip is already edited.
Dude turns on his camera. Zooms in on the exact spot that something comes onto camera from the edge of the periphery.

A UFO appears! UFO casts Befuddlement. UFO scores a critical hit!

Putting in cloud occlusion was a nice touch.
