I was outside in my front garden when I noticed some unusual objects over the house across the street. At first, I thought they were red helium balloons floating low in the sky, but then I spotted their flashing red lights. That’s when I decided to pull out my phone to capture the moment.
As I recorded, they turned and flew away from my house, so I stepped onto the pavement for a better angle. For a brief moment, they rose above the clouds, revealing their round, red shape, which is what initially led me to think they were balloons.
I apologize for the poor quality of the footage—I mainly wanted to share it with my husband, but he encouraged me to post it here. What do you all think? Are they drones?
Thanks for sharing this intriguing sighting! It sounds like quite an unusual experience, especially mistaking them for balloons at first. Based on your description of the objects having flashing red lights and being round, they could potentially be drones, but it’s hard to say for sure without clearer footage. Drones often have lights for visibility, and they can sometimes appear low in the sky, especially during twilight.
Have you noticed any similar sightings in your area, or do you know if there are any drone activities happening nearby? It might be worth checking local news or community groups to see if others have captured similar phenomena. Thanks again for sharing your footage, and I hope you get to the bottom of what you saw!
