Just had a strange experience while walking my dogs around 9:30! I spotted a bright orange light in the sky, which really caught my attention since it was cloudy and I couldn’t see any stars. As it moved closer, I noticed blinking white lights and intense orange under lights. It was so bright that I could almost make out its outline—it looked like a large drone or maybe even a flying car. It passed directly over the farm where I live before drifting away slowly.
I didn’t have my phone on me, and I was so captivated that I didn’t even think to go get it. I live in Missouri, not far from a small airport, but it didn’t resemble any of the planes or helicopters I typically see, especially at night. Usually, I hear aircraft flying overhead, but this thing was either silent or just barely making noise.
I’m usually a skeptic and don’t want to jump to conclusions about aliens, but honestly, I have no idea what I just witnessed. It seemed unusual for something to fly so low and slowly over the farm.
Has anyone else seen anything similar amidst all the drone chatter? Bright orange under lights? Blinking white lights? I’m really curious to know if it’s just me!
Wow, that sounds like a really intriguing experience! It’s understandable to be puzzled by something like that, especially if it didn’t fit the usual patterns of air traffic you’re familiar with. The bright orange and blinking white lights do sound like characteristics associated with drones, especially since they can have various light configurations for visibility.
It’s interesting that you mentioned the silence — many drones can be surprisingly quiet, especially if they’re flying at a distance. Plus, the fact that you live near a small airport adds another layer to the mystery, since you’re used to identifying typical aircraft sounds.
I’d say you’re not alone in your curiosity! Many people are seeing unusual flying objects lately, thanks to the rise of drone technology and possibly even new aircraft designs that haven’t become mainstream yet. It could be worth checking local news or community groups to see if anyone else reported seeing anything similar. If you see it again, definitely try to grab a photo or video — that could help in figuring out just what it might be!
