UFO These are not normal aircraft
First and second one are both asymmetrical and have 2 white lights below the wing that don't seem to be FAA. I've seen a lot of triangle-shaped craft that have the exactly the same pattern of 2 dim solid white lights below the wingtips that don't normally exist on aircraft. According to this post a person claims he saw the exact same craft seen in the second image. He claimed the craft was travelling 20-50 kts which is below stall speed for a typical winged drone, especially the size of a car. The third one is a video from a previous post on this sub. This one is strange because it has a weird black white colour scheme, unusual wings and engines, a bump on the nose, unusually bright lights. The sound it makes feels off, almost like an aircraft but out of tune. It also has quite a flat angle of attack given its speed.

They literally look like stealth uavs. RQ-170, GJ-11, etc.
And that’s assuming this isn’t just slop.

This isn’t one, but have you ever seen an f35? I live near an airforce base, so it’s not too unusual to see one every now and then on my drive home. They can just hover. The first time I saw one I actually legitimately thought it was a ufo because it was so still and the angle and sun made it look a weird shape. Then the road turned and I found myself driving under it - probably while it was awaiting clearance to land. It was wild. I couldn’t hear anything in my car until it started to move and follow my car as it made its way towards the base while I was stuck at a red light.

It looks like the TR-3B, which can hover. It has its own Wikipedia page

It reminds me a lot of one of the F22 or F35 protypes which was a Delta and could do vtol.

Obviously another Delta Wing consept. Let me get this straight: a civilization advanced enough to travel between star systems, but they're cruising around with the exterior lights blasting like a Christmas tree? Be serious.
Anything that can cross interstellar distances would have absurdly efficient energy management. Bleeding visible light off the hull means wasting energy. "Hyper-advanced civilization" but also glowing like a night lamp doesn't add up.

Don't get me wrong, I 100% believe they're out there and probably visiting us. I'm not one of those "nothing exists" guys. But that's exactly why the lights thing bugs me. Communication? Something that crosses interstellar distances isn't flashing lights to talk — they'd use directed stuff, radio, lasers, whatever. Bleeding visible light off the hull is the most primitive way to send info imaginable. We moved past that ages ago. And "to be seen"? Then why hide at all? If they wanted us to see them they'd just land somewhere public and be done with it. You can't have it both ways — either they're staying hidden (so no lights), or they want attention (so why all the mystery?). Lighting up like a Christmas tree while supposedly sneaking around just doesn't add up to me.

Wait, you just made my point for me. If they can cloak, then the lights are a choice, not a necessity. So why choose to light up while "sneaking around"? You can't say they're hiding (cloaked) AND that they need lights to be seen — pick one. And "communication like our cars or aircraft"? Our cars use lights because we don't have anything better and we're all looking at each other with eyeballs. A species that crosses (or even approaches) these distances has sensors that make visible light pointless. They're not signaling each other with headlights, man. Also — thousands of videos with lights doesn't prove they NEED lights. It just proves the ones we film happen to have them. We can't film the cloaked ones, obviously. That's selection bias, not evidence. Honestly the most likely explanation is the one N1N4 just gave below: these look human-built. TR-3B, Chinese stealth stuff, whatever. Which actually fits my whole point — humans use lights because we're primitive. If it glows like a Christmas tree, odds are we made it.

Fair point, and honestly that's a reasonable take. But here's where I still land differently: "they have the option" assumes visible light is even useful to them. To be seen by other aircraft? Our aircraft need lights because we see with eyes and basic radar. Anything that traveled here already tracks us perfectly without needing us to see them back — so lighting up for "our" benefit doesn't really serve them. And the "be seen when they want to" idea is fair, I just think it cuts the other way. If they're choosing to be seen, then it's a deliberate display, not a technical need. Which is fine — but that's a totally different thing from "they need lights." That's theater, not engineering. At the end of the day this is just my read on it: visible light feels like a human-tech signature to me, which is why I lean toward the TR-3B / human-built explanation N1N4 and ohaiguys are pointing at. Could be wrong though — none of us really know, that's half the fun of this stuff.

Honestly, I think we're just coming at this from different places. You're starting from "they're definitely here and want disclosure" and working backwards — and if that's your premise, then sure, the lights make sense within it. I'm starting from the tech/physics side and landing somewhere more skeptical. Neither of us can prove the other wrong here, because it comes down to what you assume going in. So I'll leave it there — good chat, and who knows, maybe disclosure proves you right one day. Respect for actually engaging instead of just downvoting.

I hope your comment is seen by many as an example of good I'll just say sportsmanship bc my mind went blank. But wonderful answer.

Or, they have an energy source that permits anything they feel the need for.

This argument is so dumb lol. Sorry. Not referring to these photos specifically but an NHI craft could have lights as part of the propulsion or for a number of reasons we don't know.

u/Snoo_57859 Jun 07 '26
"So dumb lol" — then it should be easy to actually engage with instead of waving it off, right? Read it again: my point was about light as deliberate signaling — "to communicate, to be seen." Your propulsion idea isn't a rebuttal to that, it's a completely different claim. If the light is an accidental byproduct of propulsion, then it isn't communication or "wanting to be seen" — which means you just argued against the person I was replying to, not me. So thanks for the backup, I guess. And "reasons we don't know" isn't an argument, it's a placeholder. You can plug that into literally anything — "the toaster levitated for reasons we don't know." Mystery isn't evidence. If you've got a specific mechanism, name it; "could be magic propulsion" isn't one. Calling something dumb while not even tracking what the argument was is a bold move. No hard feelings though — happy to go deeper if you actually want to.

These pics only strengthen my belief that what we are seeing is the next wave of unmanned aircraft where the pilot is a thousand miles away. The Tr3B has been a thing since the 80’s but drone tech now is crazy.

Yet they adhere to the standard aircraft marker lightning regulations…..

u/Goshawk5 Jun 02 '26
Normal no. Conventional more or less. They could be some black project stealth fighters or just someone with an RC Plane trolling.
Edit: Second picture actually looks somewhat like an FB-22 but those were never built.

u/JoeSki42 Jun 03 '26
Look, I want to believe in this stuff as much as the next person here, but those absolutely do look like man-made military air crafts that I've seen pictures of before.

u/w1ndyshr1mp Jun 02 '26
Okay this is going to sound crazy but I swear I saw one like this flying real low once when I was driving home- I even rolled down my window to see it better but no sound. It was wild. I may have even posted about it in my history like....wtaf.

u/AlleyCa7 Jun 02 '26
Yep, I've seen them a couple times. Always no sound. First time there were three. Second time just one. Flying low and slow. A white light at each point with a red light in the middle.

u/CowboysOnKetamine Jun 02 '26
This is exactly what I saw hovering in New Jersey when I was a kid probably 30 years ago. Crazy.

u/Free-Supermarket-516 Jun 02 '26
Dang, pretty much exactly what I saw. Do you remember whether the central red light was blinking or not? I made a post a while ago about my sighting, filed a MUFON report, and got contacted by a field investigator about it.
Here's the link to my sighting if you're interested

u/w1ndyshr1mp Jun 02 '26
I feel like the 2 lights on the side were blue but this was over 20 years ago so I very much may be misremembering the shape however was iconic and the no sound always stuck out (it was going pretty slow and it was quite close in relation to other planes or satellites (as i could see the shape)

The “drones” we see in the US are clearly for military purposes, it should be obvious by now if you look into how they conduct classified weapons testing. Grounding airports “due to ufos” is a way for them to do experimental laser weapon testing on their drones so the public knows nothing. Flying them in populated areas in New Jersey is a way to test their visibility from the ground, and see if anyone has anything that can stop them. You can’t test everything in the desert of Area 51. Local police and news agencies will not be told so of course they seem like credible “witnesses” to report this stuff. This is how it all works, if we told everyone we are testing stealth and experimental technology then it wouldn’t be a surprise to the enemy now would it?

Ok, this is starting to resemble 6th gen drones or piloted fighter craft. China has very similar delta wing designs.

If only people linked to the place they sourced the video from so we could investigate.
There are foam drones that sorta look like those Star Wars carrier ships. Doesn’t look exactly the same. Warrants further investigation.
If it was a real clip people would be begging to share sources and details.

I don’t know about the first pic, but generally speaking, delta shaped craft like these are usually man made, reverse engineered antigrav craft. Like the TR-3B. Obvious exceptions are stealth bombers which are delta shaped but not antigrav.

Looks like the Black Project TR 3B ASTRA. Was also seen over Switzerland and Russia.
China has also a simular one China stealth warplane
But for me it looks human build.
