[UPDATE 12:14 p.m.: McKinleyville Gets a Visit, too] ‘OMG, They’re Doing a Smiley Face’–Eureka Gets Visit From Plane Drawing Pictures in the Sky

[Photos below by Jason Barnes, Video above by Saryn Kennedy]

A pilot entertained Eureka residents this morning. She or he drew a number of images in the sky today.

Eureka resident Saryn Kennedy told us, “He’s or she’s a hero! Just a simple act of kindness but wow…made me cry.”

If you caught any shots of the action, we’d love to see them.

It don’t matter. Did you get effected by it? No. Accept happiness in your life and stop being apart of sheeple foundation.

We could have been effected by it.

What did he spray? Where did it go when it dissipated? Is this part of the 5G rollout that’s causing sickness all over humboldt?

We may never know what long term effects our planet may suffer from this tragedy.

Yes, looked up from gardening here in Arcata at the sound of a pilot having some sunny day fun and was greeted with a big heart. Shared with the kids and neighbors. So cool of them! Great act of mass kindness. Kudos to them.

Thanks for waisting precious resources and polluting the air for people who can’t entertain themselves with the thousands of books, TV shows and hobbies out there. Wanna put a smile on people’s face? Donate however much you waisted on gas to those at the frontlines or most effected.

There’s a surplus of gas right now.

Given the reduction in flights across the globe don’t fret too much about a little sky writing “pollution”.

Some of the comments on here are typical of the stupidity that prevail nowadays! I for one think it’s great what this individual did to brighten people’s lives in this time of depression! Why must you negative people always try to pop the child’s balloon or take away it’s candy? Shame on you! Let other people enjoy and shut your pie hole- no one want to be affected by your “virus” of negativity! Oh, and thank you to the kind soul sending hope and bringing joy to the community!
