In the video Penguin 6 addresses the report of a plane down by driving the route that the DC police helicopter flew that night, as well as discusses at the end the discrepancy in the time stamping vs the actual time of the event. 

The lights that were shown in the OPs video was just a show for a game that was playing and is discussed in the video.

I didn't think that display would have started from takeoff.

It does seem "usual" that stories frequently include two separate things, seeming to add "white noise" to the original report.

Hmm

Quote:WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force announced that its secretive X-37B spaceplane will execute a series of maneuvers to change its orbit and jettison components.
The reusable spacecraft, which has been in orbit since December 28, 2023, will perform aerobraking maneuvers to alter its trajectory around Earth, the Space Force said Oct. 10. This technique involves making multiple passes through the planet’s upper atmosphere, using atmospheric drag to modify the vehicle’s orbit while conserving fuel.
These maneuvers also are intended to showcase responsible space operations, the Space Force said. The aerobraking enables the spaceplane to change orbits and comply with space debris mitigation rules by safely discarding the service module.
