The American singer-songwriter had a close encounter with something in the sky recently while flying to Nashville.
Writing on social media about her experience, Musgraves explained that she had been flying from Austin, Texas to Nashville, Tennessee on the evening of April 9th when the incident happened.

Peering out the window, she first noticed something strange over Little Rock, Arkansas - several orb-like objects drifting through the night sky, moving in ways that seemed to defy conventional explanation.

Her first instinct was that they simply "didn't look normal".
The peculiar objects continued to move erratically, often in a triangular formation, for around 45 minutes and were still there as the plane approached its destination.

"[They were not] moving like any craft that we can control," she said.

As things stand, no definitive explanation for her sighting has been forthcoming, although it's possible that the objects could have been some sort of drones.

You can check out a news report, which includes Musgraves' footage, in the video below.

Y'all ever heard of foo fighters?? that's what this sounds like and it is quite real.  The phenomena of mysterious orbs, commonly known as "foo fighters," observed following Allied bomber aircraft during World War II, were widely reported by aircrew over Europe and the Pacific. These glowing, maneuvering objects often followed bombers and fighter planes—such as the B-17 or Bristol Beaufighter—in formation, at times displaying colors like red, orange, or green, and exhibiting intelligence in their movements. maybe. it is a good fit, and no, they never did determine exactly what the orbs we...

Let's reevaluate this entire story from a different perspective...shall we? Kacey Musgraves films 'crazy' UFOs over Arkansas and Tennessee First of all...the title is too long.  It should read:   UFOs over Arkansas and Tennessee Second of all... it's Arkansas and Tennessee.? You know what Arkansas? The same thing Tennessee! The really interesting thing is the word in the Title...'crazy'. Because again... it's Arkansas and Tennessee! Suddenly I am saddened because there will be no John Claw Hammer response.

Foo fighters was just a label pilots used at the time, not a confirmed phenomenon. Reports from WWII aircrews described lights, but they were never established as a single, defined cause, and a lot of explanations have been proposed since, from atmospheric effects like ball lightning or St Elmos fire to distant aircraft lights and optical illusions under stressful conditions. So saying "its quite real" is misleading. The sightings were real, the interpretation is not settled at all.

Some of those aircrews also thought gremlins were messing with their planes, which is where Richard Matheson got the idea for Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.
