Witnessed around 4.29pm over Warsop, Mansfield. Looks like the beluga plane. Was moving due east. In a uniform line. No noise. Moving slowish. I could not focus on it at all which leads me to believe it was way higher than it appeared. Lower objects are usually easier to focus on.
Any thoughts?

I’m sorry i rarely ever post so not sure if i have submitted the post correctly.
It is a plane
Nice catch. There has to be a pretty damn good reason to turn your transponder off…
Looks like the beluga plane
Looks like the Airbus Beluga, basically a big ass plane used to carry other planes
thats a flying whale
Airbus Beluga
That looks exactly like an Airbus A300-600ST (Beluga)
You can clearly make out all the feature of a plane in the first image. I don’t even understand.
Flying dolphin 🐬
Flying Axolotl
Maybe a Super Guppy, owned by NASA
Looks to me like a flying beluga whale 🤔
It’s an Airbus A330-743L Beluga XL. Specifically F-GXLN from Chester Hawarden Airport to Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport. It’s currently just over the Netherlands.
OP not good at flight radar:

Just because your camera is a potato doesn’t mean that its captured a UAP
The (lack of) quality of posts in this sub has become embarrassing.
There was a tracking service I found better than flightradar…I’m annoyed I don’t recall its name.
But yes, quite often planes aren’t on flightradar.
It’s not unusual to not show up on flight radar. It’s not unusual to not hear an airplane at 30-40k feet. It’s not unusual to not make contrails, it’s atmosphere dependent.
It’s a fucking airplane. And very clearly the beluga.
You are the problem with these subs
I got to see one of these things fly below me on a flight from London to Malta. I thought I was hallucinating.
Holy shit bro you spotted a real UFO, that thing looks crazy
BGA143N, flying at 29,000 ft.
