At times, the lighting configurations on these “drones” can be quite perplexing, especially given the clear direction in which the craft is traveling. We can easily determine their trajectory based on their movement above or near us\u2014I’m confident I could plot it on a compass.<\/p>\n
However, the lights on many of these unusual objects don’t seem to align with that trajectory. Has anyone else noticed this?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s as if the front and back of the craft aren’t oriented correctly according to their actual flight path. This observation seems relevant for all sightings, but it’s particularly noticeable with lower-flying objects, which appear larger and thus more distinct.<\/p>\n
Could wind play a role in making a craft appear to be facing Southeast due to its lighting, while it\u2019s really heading Northeast? <\/p>\n
I know there are exceptions, and gauging distance in the night sky can be tricky, but this seems like an easy indicator to identify when a craft looks out of place. <\/p>\n
