Kacey Musgraves UFOs Followed Our Plane ... and I Got Video!!!


Kacey Musgraves just saw some "insane" orbs in the sky, and she ain't blowin' smoke ... she's got videos to back it up.

The singer posted on her Instagram Story late Thursday night, describing the "craziest f***ing orb UFO experience" while flying from Fort Worth, TX to Nashville, TN with one of her managers, Bobby.

Looks like they might be Starlink flares, lets investigate....!

Better quality videos extracted from Instagram for analysis















 
1/ Is Kacey Musgraves' orb sighting "solved"? Nope. Not yet. Mick and Flarkey have a likely Starlink horizon flare explanation via Sitrec that lines up reasonably with the flight path from Fort Worth to Nashville and the orbs pacing off the port wing. That's useful work -Flarkey is very talented.

2/ The last couple of months of Mick repeatedly asking others for original videos, or "good data" instead of rolling his sleeves up and doing the full data verification have grown pretty tiresome to watch. I'm not surprised to see the comment,

"If she could share the exact time the video was recorded, then we could identify the exact satellites.".

3/ Getting a 99 to 100 percent solution is entirely achievable without any input from her. You can pull the exact ADS-B CSV data from Flightradar24 for the probable flights in that window, geo-locate the plane's position over Little Rock at the right altitude and speed, use the ground features visible in her footage for reference, grab the public TLEs for Starlink satellites at the time, shoot it in Sitrec, and build a precise frame-by-frame overlay of the simulation directly on top of her original footage to check the motion match. That hasn't been done yet.

4/ Given Metabunk's track record in my experience - continual refinements to the Gimbal sim when it helped the prosaic "glare can do anything" explanation, independent of the camera's motion model, but showed less follow-through on the testable parts that don't rely on assumptions like "pilot comfort rotations" - Kacey's clap-back was understandable, even if the Bigfoot reply was pretty crass. It's not case closed.
 
Why should witnesses who have more data not be asked to share that data?

We can't validate data we don't have, we'd just be open to "maybe you still got the time wrong" What is tiresome is reluctance to share details that can help resolve cases, whilst taking time to denigrate those trying to investigate it.

To my view this is solved well enough as the well understood and known phenomenon of Starlink flares and anyone who thinks otherwise is encouraged to "roll their sleeves up" and show it by data validation etc.
 

This may (if it's not simply a joking response) tie in with her apparent general view regarding skeptical inquiry into videos such as these, as quoted in the TMZ article:

Kacey apologized that the videos look like she "filmed them on a f***ing toaster," but noted ... "You could have the best, most high-quality footage of something and no one would believe it anyway."

So she saw lights that look and behave like Starlink Flares in a part of the sky that Starlink flares would be, at a place and a time that we know Starlink flares would be visible.

What else do you think they could be? And if the lights she saw were something else, why didn't she see the Starlink Flares that we know were there?
 
Kacey's reaction:

What a childish, rude response by Musgraves. And a weak piece of "journalism" by Casey Holaday at The Independent (@NoParty's post #15) whose takeaway message seems to be: if a celebrity makes an extraordinary claim, don't have the temerity to propose a plausible alternative explanation; if they choose to insult you (with no justification whatsoever) The Independent will describe this as "hilarious".

Maybe The Independent isn't as independent as it likes to claim; I get the impression it's sucking up to a celebrity in this instance.
Musgrave's comment was not hilarious, and it wasn't appropriate.
"How dare you propose a rational explanation for my sighting! I'm famous!"
 
When all they've got is insults you know you're winning the argument.
And Musgraves' "sick burn" (as UFOTwitter describes it) is not really a problem, as now 750K people have seen the real explanation, which is probably 20x the people who would have seen it before.

I didn't reply, as it's just silly. Also, I think she's deep into spiritual and esoteric stuff, so she might not be that interested in the real explanation.

She just wanted to get some attention I think, perhaps her record sales went down (...). To explain away her "experience" stops that in its tracks (and rightly so).
 
Considering the Independent's article suggests that pilots are saying that all pilots are seeing these every night then it shouldn't be too difficult to prove it's not starlink, should it?

Assuming it's not starlink. Which I personally assume it is.
 
For many witnesses the experience of a UFO sighting can be as emotional as it is visual. When a prosaic explanation is offered, it may be emotionally interpreted as a personal or professional attack, feeling like the equivalent of being called a liar or stupid.

Musgraves' "sick burn" (as UFOTwitter describes it) is not really a problem, as now 750K people have seen the real explanation, which is probably 20x the people who would have seen it before.

When a debunk attracts more attention than the original report in social media, it could also be viewed as an attempt to reduce or steal the monetizable audience of the original poster.

Considering these factors, and not just for this case, a knee-jerk reaction, like a defensive or offensive response, is not unusual.
 
I was curious how long it would take the media to allow that, while sure, hers is a super fun story, a good, level-headed explanation exists. This morning, the Independent did...wonder how long she'll stick to her defensiveness...

"I've seen many crazy things," she said in the video. "I've seen fire burning in the sky, things that I can't explain…"
She's seen things you people wouldn't believe…
 
Many of those videos reminded me immediately of the videos in this thread.

Such as...


Satellites are just as recognizable as Venus or Jupiter.




And here's the triangle thing again.

They were intermittently coming and going, forming triangle patterns.

Another witness talking about triangles...

Can you clarify what you mean by "The triangle turn"?

OP
It's something that sometimes happens with these things. I have an earlier video, I think the second one I posted where it shows what I mean. Three points of light come together in the shape of a triangle, stay in that form for a couple of seconds, then they burst apart in 3 different directions. It doesn't happen in this video, but there was a couple time that it looked like it might.
