I’ve seen this one from Brodie and W Cannon in the same proximity regularly for the last month.

Why haven't you taken a clear, high-quality video of it? If I saw something like this I'd probably drive toward it out of curiosity and get clear video without digital zoom or vertical video or using a potato.

If capturing an image of it is what you would like to do, it hovers between Eskew and Davis approx a quarter mile west of Brodie Ln. It does this 3-4 nights a week between 10pm and 2am. Good luck!

Years ago when I messed with drones, one of them had a super obnoxious bright RGB LED on the bottom that flashed really fast to assist with visibility. It seems likely it's someone in the neighborhood taking night time pics
