Location: Placerville, CA.... You know, the only place on Highway 50 between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe the you find signal lights. Above the fog most of the time and I can see the stars of the Milky Way 8 out of 10 nights. Kinda cool.....

That is cool, keep us in the mix on what your allowed to share. Interesting timing too.

This morning at around 0400 as I was setting up for my turn to final, 3 miles(nobody around at that time and off setting that distance does allow me a slight advantage if there is an emergency with the plane, something about flying over the foothills, at night make me think of those things). I glanced towards the West and noticed a stationary set of lights right about pattern altitude. It was just hangin without any noticeable change. It appeared to be hovering just out there.
UPS flys into KMHR and right over Placerville in the early hours. Even though they are, up there, they still look really low. I though maybe it was just one of their heavy’s on the approach as it descended but it was much closer and looked big by the intensity of the lights. No hit on the ADS-B in receiver.

Made me go...........[emoji848]
