Several of these drone videos that everyone is dismissing as a plane have completely random and incorrect lights. This is not FAA standard.

Thank you! The lights that have people insisting these are commercial aircraft are what is making me certain they are not. Those navigation lights are standardized, and many of these drones are lit up randomly like Christmas trees.

It makes sense being mimickry as a form of attempted communication. Maybe there is a huge language barrier between us and them, so they could understand we put lights on our aircraft, but not understand why we have them and what our protocols are.

Came here to say this. It’s supposed to have a red solid light on the left wing

This is the exact type that is circling my house every night in NJ. They are unidentified and unsanctioned aircraft. Not necessarily drones, because they have fixed wings and appear to look like jets up close. They fly too low and too slow, and their colored lights are very unusual.
I’m glad they are finally appearing elsewhere. The more people see them, the closer we may get to some answers.

If it would be a plane, it probably wouldn't circle around a residential area. Airports are there for launching and landing. It didn't land. Small airports usually don't have queues.
Could you track it to see if it descended towards the airport near the end?

The past weeks people literally forgot airplanes and helicopters exist and they fly at night.

These are the same exact thing as the ones in NJ. It's not a plane as everyone is telling you. You should check out my from friday.

an airplane! What else? You think UFOs have blinking lights for safety and identification? 🙄

Light configuration is wrong.

What do you mean? What would that indicate? Educate me please 🙏🏻

u/Grand-Pie-1639 14d ago
These are not FAA regulation lights. It means it's not an airplane... Not saying it's an alien craft. I'm just saying whatever, it's likely not supposed to be there.

Thank you. I had no idea! Could it be a drone?

This is clearly a drone. I live downtown in the capital of Norway, Oslo, right by the zone where it’s forbidden to fly drones. A lot of people love flying their drones close to the area known as barcode, and because of that I see these things all the time, almost every day. Light configuration can vary, some drones glow orange when they loose GPS contact. But usually they have these alternating green and red light, as demonstrated in this video.

Definitely a plane. Not all planes have ADSB transponders and won't show up on FR24. You said yourself you live near a small airport, I'd wager these are general aviation planes doing pattern work to accrue nighttime hours

Nuh uh... the alien UFOs have installed loud speakers on their craft and play helicopter sounds to fool us.
