Tbc this plane looked like the mothership was coming in but contextually (see Travis tweet) I can be convinced it's a c17
Anyone good at blurry aircraft ID? This heavy was flying over central/northern CA, curious what type (Hercules?)pic.twitter.com/k9xT3vkwdx

They're both BIG, but the C17 is kind of like Luna to the C5's Celestia. Not uncommon to see Globemasters out and about.

This is a comparison to *googles Luna and Celestia* ..my little ponies?

Big sister/little sister who fly; first thing that came to mind.

The C-130 horizontal stabilizer is at the bottom of the tail assembly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lockheed_C-130_Hercules.jpg …. Your mystery A/C has it at the top

Looks like a C-5 Galaxy but tough to be sure
-
Looks a lot like the C5 flying in and out of SJU here in Puerto RIco
