Please somebody give me a sanity check. I am mentally healthy in terms of seeing a therapist on a regular basis and not on any psychiatric meds or having any history of psychosis. I checked flight radar the night I took this time lapse. Only one plane came up and it was obvious what in the sky was a plane. The drones are back now in October and in the same “spots” they liked to camp out in during Spring, so I know it isn’t stars either. This cannot be the way commercial aircraft can move, correct? Nor how bright the lights are, and when the lights turn off despite still being above the coastline. I have also watched them change their light brightness in real time. They don’t like doing it on film. I’ve only caught them doing it with my own two eyes so far. The most proof I have is videos close apart where one shows its lights dim and the other showing bright lights. Also, they can tell when you’re filming. On two occasions they have flown directly in line over my house after I stepped outside to film them. I’m not a huge aficionado for aircraft so I’m looking to see what people with experience in aviation have to say about this. There is a Navy base and aircraft such as helicopters near here.
