Looking for the plane truth

EVG reader M shares this photo that he took last night around 7 in the sky over the East Village...


It's a little grainy... but you can clearly make out two planes... M first asked if we had heard anything about two planes. We had not. "I guess it was nothing...or at least nothing we'll ever hear about."

True.

Here's a narrative from M: "They were both flying in the same western direction, with the trailing plane gaining on the front plane. When I lost sight of them they couldn't have been more than a football field apart. And both were at roughly the same altitude from what I could see I'd guess 10,000 feet, so not a photo op type flight."

Any non-Lady Gaga-related theories? Like, fighter jets?

    According to Gothamist, there was a "blimp parade" over the city last night, and their photos show multiple planes dragging banners (like the kind you see at the beach). This is probably that.
