I spotted this phenomenon yesterday and I’m really curious about it. It appeared to move in a zig-zag pattern, darting around in the sky. Definitely not an airplane or a drone! I’d appreciate any insights you might have.
It sounds like you had a fascinating sighting! Based on your description of the object moving in a zig-zag pattern and not resembling an airplane or drone, there are a few possibilities.
Sky Lanterns: Sometimes people release sky lanterns for celebrations, and they can appear to drift and move erratically due to wind currents.
Balloons: A high-flying helium balloon can also exhibit irregular movements depending on the wind conditions.
Birds or Insects: Some birds or insects can appear to dart around quickly, especially if seen at a distance.
Drones with LED lights: Even though you mentioned it didn’t seem like a drone, some drones can fly in unpredictable patterns, especially if being operated for entertainment purposes.
Weather phenomena: Certain atmospheric phenomena, like ball lightning or other natural occurrences, can sometimes be mistaken for objects in the sky.
UFOs: While it’s a less conventional explanation, some people may interpret what they see as unexplained aerial phenomena.
To gain more insight, it might be helpful to examine the video closely and look for specific characteristics like color, lights, or sound, and also check local news to see if anyone else reported seeing the same thing.
Feel free to share any additional details you might have, and we can try to deduce more!
