Last post got removed because I wasn’t too specific with my pics, so now it is purely discussion.

Hello Reddit

No, this is not AI. This is from my iPhone about an hour ago. East coast. Our “friends” are still here and they are ALSO spreading. I have my phone filled with dozens of videos or photos from the last week or so (last two days we saw nothing due to the weather). Not here to prove anything, if you don’t believe for any reason - don’t care one bit. And, yes, I have  flightradar24. All observations and materials are my own.

I wanted to share everything since there is a lot of misinformation (or lack of info) out there. To set the stage a bit: we live in a rural area, good 360 views, no power stations, no factories, no bases, no nothing - just a small rural community. Initially, like everyone I was just trying to take pictures and videos (its been very hard to get quality images and videos) but after repeated visits, I decided to start tracking their movements and try to understand their patterns a bit.

There are two types of drones. 

Low-flying smaller drones that hover, make circles around the neighborhood - they have a bit of an odd shape with the famous green and red lights and ability to flash white light. They operate in groups of 5-6 and cover an area of approximately 20 square miles give or take. They fly anywhere between 35 and ~400 feet in the air. They seem to react when I get the phone out, by slowing down and changing direction. They also flashed lights a couple of times in the direction of people. They are active between 5 and 10pm. Ballpark size 4-5 feet in diameter. The closest I was able to get to them is around 30 feet when they were in my backyard. They seem mechanical or bio-mechanical. They are perfectly quiet, like you wouldn’t know if the thing was right behind you.

Don’t want to scare anyone but I also feel like it is my social responsibility to say that in my personal opinion, these “drones” are not man-made and I also feel that they are not friendly. I hope to be wrong on this one but I don’t think they are visiting small communities looking for nukes or power plants, they are here to look for people and to understand where the population is located. Their visits are creepy, hovering in our backyards and above driveways and everyone in the house is scared, neighbor wants to start shooting them. 

Larger and higher-flying drones that look like big crosses. Hard to tell on the size but I would say between a school bus and mid-size plane. Those do make some noise. Those don’t seem to stop, slow down or change altitude much. Operate individually but appear to be working together with the smaller drones, at least with their schedules. What is really weird is that I saw one these  objects fly very low to the ground around 3:45PM, about 1h:15 minutes before smaller drone activity. I also noticed one of them at 11:15PM flying really low, about 1h:15 after the end of small drone activity. Perhaps, they act as some kind of transport and in-between drop offs/pick ups giving these drones direction/cover but that is a speculation.

After several days, it is starting to take a toll on neighbors, kids and even pets. When they descend towards you, it is a scary feeling. 

I also did see and capture on video Orb-looking objects but never close enough to be sure. I observed them “blend in” with the stars, move in the air in one direction and then sort of jumping 100-200 feet and then flying “normally” again. I don’t want to speculate if they exist or what they are doing since I never saw them too close.

In conclusion, I feel like there is a huge disconnect between the reality that I see on a nightly basis and what is being discussed in the news and online. This worries me great deal. I hope to be wrong and these things are ours or even Iranian at this point.
