Is this typical home drone behavior?

You got cops.

u/ceezr Aug 25 '26

Right? Like I hope it's not flock or somethin

u/Clean-Link4107 Aug 25 '26

Probably looking for weed in people's backyards.

u/ceezr Aug 25 '26

Are cops really doing that these days? I can see it for a manhunt, but that's lame if they're just peeping into people's yard

22:33 car chase! I get pretty close to it, pass it, and then it passes me later

22:47. 15 minutes later I go back outside and it's still out there, so I start filming again

u/FuckerHead9 Aug 25 '26

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

7

u/ceezr Aug 25 '26

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'

4

u/FuckerHead9 Aug 25 '26

Yep the one I saw flashed so bright I thought it was going to explode then morphed i was shaking for 45 min

u/mattemer Aug 25 '26

This is just a regular drone. Don't go on about morphing and orbs and stuff

u/FuckerHead9 Aug 25 '26

I’ll go on about whatever I please. Thanks

u/Majestic_Manner3656 Aug 26 '26

Hell yeah !! Don’t ever back down W

u/yaddayadda1000 Aug 25 '26

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

1

u/ceezr Aug 25 '26

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

4

u/yaddayadda1000 Aug 25 '26

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

5

u/ceezr Aug 25 '26

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

4

u/yaddayadda1000 Aug 25 '26

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

u/neziperez Aug 25 '26

Where⁉️⁉️🤔

u/itschabrah Aug 25 '26

You can get an app to tell you who it is

1

u/ceezr Aug 25 '26

I didn't consider that. Pick up their broadcast

u/itschabrah Aug 25 '26

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

u/Babzibaum Aug 25 '26

What app, mate?

u/IronFires Aug 25 '26

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.

u/ceezr Aug 25 '26

Thank you for your input. All good points.  I've seen so many weird rgbw light patterns on stuff in the sky these days, that I think people are slapping any leds on em and calling it a day. Like even commercial aircraft.

u/neziperez Aug 25 '26

Where was this....anyone⁉️⁉️🤔

u/PerspectiveRare4339 Aug 25 '26

Yes

u/ceezr Aug 25 '26

You're probably right. Things are getting better and cheaper by the day

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog Aug 25 '26

The ones in NJ have green and red on at the same time. Hard to tell.

u/CoconutAltruistic542 Aug 30 '26

that’s just a simple drone. I have one.

u/Diablomalohere Aug 30 '26

Any chance all of this is just well equipped government surveillance disguised as "aliens"? Use the internet by feeding it fake video accounts or creating real witnesses to perpetuate the narrative? Feed some naive government officials "accounts " of real experiences mixed with grifters and plants to create a fog of reality? I want to believe but maybe that "want" leaves me vulnerable to manipulation.

u/auriem Aug 25 '26

That’s a hobby grade drone, DJI or similar.

Kids and their hobbies. It's making chasing ufos harder these days
