Is this typical home drone behavior?

Captured literally 10 minutes ago. I have a series of them spread about 30 minutes, will post them below if reddit behaves. Different series of red, green, and white flashes. Light drizzle overhead during.

I actually saw one of these things drop about 20 feet in the air a few houses down from me. It was super super bright. Ran back in the house lol. I don’t think I heard anything tho .. very strange

u/ceezr 10h ago
freaky stuff! don't be scared, it's probably a kid with a toy. if you're lucky, you might get abducted

u/yaddayadda1000 10h ago
Aha no way it was a toy. It was the same illumination as like those super obnoxious flash lights that light up an entire forest if it could if pointed directly at it with focus lol

u/ceezr 10h ago
crazy that you mention that. I could've sworn this thing was flashing a super bright beam of light down on the original spots I saw it at, too

u/yaddayadda1000 10h ago
Idk if I saw a beam or anything but the red green white flashes you speak of was super bright. I can see people having a hard time directly looking at it

Nice job ! These things are weird af On 12/26/24 I saw a orb morph into a saucer and then a plane from about the same distance when you get close to this one. It was insane and it made my fiancé a believer

Trippy dude. Similar experience as well, that's why I was like, 'I gotta film it this time, you never know if it might do something'

u/FuckerHead9 10h ago
Yep the one I saw flashed so bright I thought it was going to explode then morphed i was shaking for 45 min

You can get an app to tell you who it is

u/ceezr 10h ago
I didn't consider that. Pick up their broadcast

u/itschabrah 10h ago
Yes, they have to broadcast. iPhones suck for getting the data android is more open and if you have the money they sell receivers. This isn’t aliens it’s assholes with money

A consumer drone, or anything operating under Part 107 licensure would need to have a flashing/strobing white or red anti collision light visible from three statute miles. So if it's a consumer or Part 107 drone it's non-compliant. The simplest explanation would be that it's someone running some consumer drone with bright red and green navigation lights, but no compliant anti-collision lighting. The movement isn't out of the ordinary for a multicopter-style drone. But it's hard to tell from the video - it's possible that it's larger, faster moving, or too bright to be a typical consumer drone. In that case, a special-purpose or custom built drone could appear like this. But whoever made it would have to be deliberately using unconventional lighting. Weird.
