I spotted this yesterday and I’m curious to find out what it is. It appeared to move in a zig-zag pattern, darting around in the sky. It definitely wasn’t an airplane or a drone! I’d appreciate any insights you might have.

It sounds like you witnessed something intriguing! The zig-zag motion could suggest that it was not a conventional aircraft or drone, as you mentioned. Here are a few possibilities that might explain what you saw:
Satellites: Occasionally, satellites can appear to move in unusual paths, especially if they are in a lower orbit or if atmospheric conditions affect how we perceive their movement.
Meteorological Phenomena: Sometimes, weather-related phenomena such as ball lightning or other atmospheric effects can create the illusion of movement in the sky.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP): If it wasn’t an aircraft or a drone and behaved unusually, it could fall under the category of UAP. Many people report seeing lights or objects that don’t behave like typical flying vehicles.
Birds or Insects: If seen from a distance, birds or swarms of insects might also create the appearance of zig-zagging motion.
Light Reflections: Reflections from lights on buildings, vehicles, or even on water can sometimes give a strange visual effect that makes it seem like something is moving erratically.
It’s always exciting to see something unusual in the sky! If you’re interested, consider checking local news or forums to see if anyone else reported similar sightings around that time.
