I promise you, I was observing either extremely small airplanes or fairly large drones. This wasn't some lights on the horizon. This was a set of lights that looked exactly like a large drone, plus the outline of the vehicle partially visible due to the lights of the town, that I watched maneuver in all directions from the familiar vantage point of my apartment courtyard. I also passed under them more than once on my commute to my overnight job, as well as observing them over the fields on either side of the interstate. This was the same commute I'd been making for months before these things started appearing and continued driving for a year after they stopped showing up. I've spent a lot of hours driving in this area, day and night, with nothing better to watch than the crop dusters pulling off crazy stunts for the sake of saving time. You ever seen them fly under power lines? They do it once in a while. It's a stupid risk and super fucking impressive at the same time. It's the Midwest. You watch the sky, see how the corn and beans are coming along, and try not to hit deer. Those were either very small manned planes flying at a time of day those vehicles rarely operate or they were some kind of drone. Either way, something weird was going on. You want to tell me the UFO I swear I saw in high school was my eyes playing tricks on me at 4 am? Yeah, you're probably right. These however were something I saw, personally and repeatedly, in an area where I'm very familiar with what's normally in the sky.
