I just had a mysterious sighting while walking my dogs at 9:30. I noticed a bright orange light in the cloudy sky, which caught my attention since I couldn’t see any stars. As it approached, I saw it had blinking white lights and bright orange underlights. It was so bright that I could almost make out its shape—it looked like a large drone or possibly a flying car.
The object flew directly over the farm where I live before moving away slowly. I didn’t have my phone on me, and I was so captivated that I didn’t want to leave to get it. I live in Missouri, close to a small airport, but this definitely didn’t resemble any planes I know. We often hear planes and helicopters overhead, but not at night.
I consider myself a skeptic and don’t want to jump to conclusions about aliens, but honestly, I have no idea what that was. It made very little noise, just a barely audible hum. There’s a highway nearby, but it’s usually pretty noisy with traffic and aviation.
I’m left wondering why something would fly so slowly and low over my farm. It’s left me perplexed and a little in awe.
Has anyone else seen anything similar, especially with bright orange underlights and blinking white lights amidst all this drone activity?
That sounds like a really fascinating sighting! It’s understandable to feel perplexed by something so unusual, especially when it doesn’t match your usual experiences with aircraft. The combination of the bright orange lights and the slow, silent movement is definitely intriguing.
It could very well have been a drone, especially with all the advancements in drone technology; some models can have bright LED lights for visibility. That said, the lack of noise and the specific lighting pattern you described does set it apart from typical drones and aircraft. It’s also interesting to note that it flew low and slow over your farm—that could suggest it was conducting some sort of survey or monitoring activity, although it’s odd given the time of night.
As for others seeing something similar, there have been reports of unusual aerial phenomena, especially with the rise of new technologies. There are many hobbyists and companies flying custom drones that might not look like what we expect. If you’re curious, you could keep an eye on local forums or community groups to see if anyone else witnessed it or has more information. And next time, bringing your phone along might help document any future sightings!
