They appeared white or light grey\u2014likely illuminated by Nashville&#8217;s light pollution\u2014rather than reflecting moonlight, especially since the eclipse was nearing totality. A few minutes after totality, I noticed a group of 3 objects moving towards me that looked similar to the first fleet, perhaps 5 in total.

But this was different. I considered the possibility that someone was out flying a bunch of drones for fun during the eclipse, but they didn\u2019t seem to follow any coordinated patterns. Their altitude was quite high, and their movements reminded me of a ping pong ball bobbing around in a bathtub\u2014definitely moving in a general direction, but with lots of slight up-and-down and side-to-side shifts.  <\/p>\n<p>Apologies for the lengthy post; I\u2019ve always wanted to see UFOs, and it finally happened! I wanted to document as much detail as possible before heading to bed. Just so you know, I quit THC two months ago, don\u2019t drink, and I\u2019m not on any psychoactive substances.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Edit:<\/strong> After posting, I discovered that some birds do migrate at night. I watched some YouTube videos but still believe these were not birds. If you mention they were Starlink satellites, I&#8217;ll be blocking you for not reading carefully! \ud83d\ude02  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Edit 2:<\/strong> Someone shared a video of something they saw on \/r\/HighStrangeness that closely resembles what I observed!
