It's also some of the most densely traveled airspace in the word for aviation. Wow, people are seeing a lot of moving lights in the sky over Jersey? I'm sure JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Teterboro, Philadelphia International, Atlantic City International, and McGuire AFB have nothing to do with that.

I keep seeing social media posts of the paranoid saying, "I'll just shoot them down!" to which my response would be, "enjoy prison."

Had someone say that a couple years ago in the neighborhood FB group. My response was, “Please don’t discharge firearms into the air while in a residential neighborhood please.”

Is that app even useful? It just looks like FB lite.

People on NextDoor also think thunder is something exploding, so I would take those reports with a heavy grain of salt

For a change this is an aviation-adjacent story in which I have no measurable interest. But in the unlikely event these things turn out to be some kind of manned aircraft that folks start plinking at....

Next Door is worse than Facebook or whatever else because it’s locale based, not friends based. So your feed is just full of crazy idiots

Next Door is just the social media comments section for your neighborhood. For every post you might find useful, there are 73 whose every post is a variation of "I bet they got the jab. Pray for us!"

I had someone in my neighborhood HOA group blaming Sara Innamorato (Allegheny County exec) for the landscapers not doing a good job of mowing grass or something else completely unrelated...

I imagine that's basically what NextDoor is, but more widespread.

I signed up for NextDoor and then deleted it soon after as it was way more annoying than useful.

Went out to check my mail and saw a police car blocking the road. This is a couple blocks from my house.
