The 1920s tractor?
I'm not saying it was aliens but...

Totally!
I still flew Pratts with N1 and fuel flow as EPR was largely useless.
The new jet's flown at percentage of max thrust, which is weird.

Well, add me to the list. We saw 2 of these lights going into BAH last night. The FO thought it was traffic at first, but we both confirmed it was 2 lights that would fade in and out together like they were in formation way up high. We were on an easterly heading and they were at about 11:00, so around a 050-060 heading.
We watched them for about 20 minutes until we descended into the haze of BAH. 3 of 4 of us saw them, but we did not report them. Nobody on frequency talked about them either.

That's below the horizon line and between you and the cloud layer?

As someone who just started binging Invasion on Apple TV+ , I feel like I’m 100% qualified to say that it’s Aliens.

Well, that and it wasn’t belching black smoke from its coal-fired engine.

Not gonna lie this is totally awesome. Did you get the impression there was an aircraft between the multi-colored lights (a la Close Encounters) or were they just six point sources of light flying in formation and following you? Asking because our eyes are still way better than crappy cell phone cameras with compression algorithms that sometimes “fill in the gaps.”
Those Starlink satellites / flares / Venus / swamp gas sure can fly fast these days if they can keep up with an A350 during cruise.

It looked completely synchronous with the airplane even when it moved forward slightly. Nothing flashing but really intense direct, non-twinkling light. Clear, cloud-cover, same intensity. Nothing on TCAS or the ATSAW display whatsoever.

How close? Ive only seen it at night and the race track thing Ive seen is clearly "in space" or orbit of some kind and seems similar height to when ive seen the space station pass overhead.

I did a repeating sequence back in the spring and it was pretty timely. I couldnt figure out if it was where I was geographically or the time I was up. I did notice that sometimes it was lower on the horizon than others. I gotta start watching star trek so I know what to expect next.
