I’m really puzzled by what I just witnessed. I live in Aurora, Colorado, where planes and helicopters are a common sight overhead. However, what I saw while driving was completely unexplainable. The moment I spotted it, I knew something was off. It was moving incredibly fast and appeared to be flying low, barely above the tree line.
As it zoomed by, I managed to get a better look, but I couldn’t pinpoint its shape. It lacked any of the typical characteristics you’d associate with an airplane or a helicopter. The most distinctive aspect was that it seemed to be just a straight line—definitely not tic-tac shaped or anything like that. It had three lights: one green flashing light, one red, and one white.
It was nighttime, but there was enough light pollution in my area for me to see it clearly. The strangest part? It was completely silent, no noise at all. My girlfriend was in the car with me, and when I pointed it out, she confirmed she saw it too and described it as stick-shaped, which reinforced my impression of what I had seen. Am I losing my mind? Could it have been a helicopter? I hope I’ve explained this well enough for someone to help me make sense of what I just experienced.
That sounds like quite an experience! It’s understandable to feel confused after witnessing something unusual. What you described—a low-flying, fast-moving, stick-shaped object with lights that didn’t make any noise—definitely raises some questions.
Given that you and your girlfriend both saw it and had a similar impression, it seems like it wasn’t just a figment of your imagination. While it could potentially be a military drone or a new type of aircraft that isn’t widely known, the quietness and shape do make it puzzling.
Sometimes, unusual flying objects can also be explainable by atmospheric conditions or even certain types of lighting playing tricks on your eyes. If it was nighttime, the lighting could have made it difficult to discern its true shape.
If you’re curious, you might want to check local news or see if anyone else reported seeing it. It’s also worth considering reaching out to a local aviation authority or even a nearby military base if you think it might be something unusual. You’re definitely not alone in your curiosity—many people have seen things they couldn’t explain when it comes to the sky!
