I just witnessed a drone pulsating and then vanishing! (WV, USA)

I stepped outside for a smoke, and after about 20 minutes (I enjoy trying to see the stars through all the pollution), I noticed what I initially thought was an airplane. It was flashing pure white light and didn\u2019t make any noise. Excited, I grabbed my phone to record what I believed was a drone sighting. As I opened the camera app, the object seemed to slow down, then unexpectedly shot straight up into the sky. I was slightly in front of its path, so I can\u2019t say how straight it was, but it ascended quickly. Just before I looked down at my phone, I saw it flash brightly one last time. When I turned my gaze back to the sky, it was completely gone\u2014no smoke trail, just an empty sky as if it had never been there. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure how big the drone was; my vision isn\u2019t great, and the brightness made it hard to discern any details. There was a brief pause between its pulses, so I caught a glimpse of its shape\u2014it reminded me of a plane as if a child had drawn it, like a big cylinder with two short wings. That\u2019s all I can recall for now. I think I\u2019ll go enjoy some more smokes to process this! \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
