Um... could they be birds? I didn't see wings or formations though.

Maybe ants on the lens? Nah.... didn't appear that way.

So... aliens... yes. ;-)

The Boeing 777X is a new series of the long-range wide-body twin-engine Boeing 777 family that is under development by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777X is to feature GE9X new engines, new composite wings with folding wingtips, greater seating in the cabin, and technologies from the Boeing 787. The 777X series was launched in November 2013 with two variants: the 777-8 and the 777-9. The 777-8 has seating for 365 and range of 8,690 nmi (16,090 km) and the 777-9 has seating for 414 and range of over 7,525 nmi (13,940 km). The -9 is to fly in the first quarter of 2019 with deliveries to begin in December 2019.

The internal cabin width is increased from the previous 777 models' 231 to 235 in (587 to 597 cm) through thinner interior cabin walls and better insulation to allow 18.0 in (46 cm) wide seats in 10-abreast economy. The 777X will feature cabin design details requiring structural changes that were originally introduced on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner: larger windows, higher ceilings, more humidity and lowered cabin altitude to 6,000 ft (1,800 m). Its flight deck is similar to the 787 cockpit with large displays and head-up displays, plus touchscreens replacing cursor control devices and folding wingtips controls.

For the 400+ seats 777-9, new engines should improve fuel consumption by 10%, with the longer, carbon-fiber wings adding a projected 7% improvement. As 4 to 5% of fuel savings is lost from the 12 tons heavier basic structure of the larger airliner, the net fuel efficiency gain is projected to be 12 to 13%. Ten-abreast seating instead of nine with a longer fuselage enable a fuel burn per seat reduction of 20% compared to the 365 seat 777-300ER. The longer-range 355 seats 777-8 should have a 13% improvement in fuel consumption with 10 fewer seats than the 300ER.

To stay within the size category of the current 777 with a less than 213 ft (65 m) wingspan, it will feature 11 feet (3.5 m) folding wingtips supplied by Liebherr Aerospace. The mechanism was demonstrated for Aviation Week at the Boeing Everett Factory in October 2016: the folding movement should be complete in 20 seconds and be locked in place at the end. Specific alerts and procedures are needed to handle a malfunction.

Its maximum takeoff weight is targeted for 775,000 lb (351.5 t) like the 777-300ER but Boeing hopes to have at least a 10,000 lb (4.5 t) margin at introduction. Boeing claims the -8 will be 4% more fuel efficient and cost effective than the A350-1000, while the -9 would be 12% more fuel efficient and 11% more cost effective.[45] Lufthansa, when it ordered both, stated the A350-900 and the Boeing 777-9X will consume an average of 2.9 L/100 km per passenger.

As existing regulations do not cover the folding wingtips, the FAA will issue special conditions, including proving their load-carrying limits, demonstrating their handling qualities in a crosswind when raised, alerting the crew when they are not correctly positioned while the mechanism and controls will be further inspected. Those ten special conditions were to be published on May 18, 2018, covering worst-case scenarios.

And we learn more about his college days 36 years ago..... relevant? fair?

This should serve as a warning to all college boys that what you do at college will now have consequences for your entire career.

We haven't often seen this happen to "Professionals" historically.... but in this new MeToo world.....

What you do as a young horny male will come back to bite you when you are grown, more settled and now seen as an "upstanding" member of society.

In reality the world now see this Federal Justice as nothing more than misogynistic creep.

People do judge you by your companions.

How many Federal Judges will now be begging NOT to be nominated to the SCOTUS? 

A chilling effect .....

Seriously folks... has the USA completely abandoned the rule of law and right of free speech?

You literally cannot get a more PUBLIC FORUM than Jack Dorsey's Twitter and this happens?

What is this world coming to?

Whether I agree with James Woods or not is not the real issue here.

I will ALWAYS respect his right to voice his own opinion no matter how absurd I personally think it may be to the way I want the world to go.

Rant over.

Enjoy your afternoon.

p.s. -  I do draw the line on what is "illegal" harmful activity on another person such as inciting mob violence or advocating harm against children etc....but those lines have always existed in the rule of law.

They sell these on Amazon too but I still think it's a cool tool that I've never actually used.

This rollercoaster has the MOST SPECTACULAR views in the world! ??

 

Vapor contains toxic heavy metals

Another possible consequence (albeit low probability) of vaping.

Although... look at the source... Russia Today?? Really??

What do you want to bet Twitter forced Amy Men to take down the photo/footage of this event. "Link Rot" at work again. Ugh...

If there is one thing I HATE about the internet over books... it's "Link Rot". Just sayin'

This was probably my dad's favorite actor of all time. Just thought I would share.

@James Thomas Rook Jr.  Ah... the great Chinese art of reverse engineering.

I think this is why Albert Einstein was said to not have been a fan of "copyright" despite the fact that he worked in a patent office.

Don't hold me to it though... can't remember the details.

Wow! So Russian defense hardware versus American missiles.

Sort of a "proxy war" going on as we speak.
