Good evening ladies and gentlemen. What I'm going to attempt to explain is weird, crazy, and has been happening nightly since September of 2018, so here it goes:
I live in a very small town of 900 people on a lake in Arkansas. I have lived here for 10 years and haven't seen anything paranormal... My home is in a small little neighborhood where we all know one another and things are fairly quiet. My home is lifted off of the ground with a huge deck that wraps around it with flood lights. We are a block from the lake which isn't seen due to trees, but it's a nice little spot..
September of 2018 I got home from work and sat on the back deck to smoke like I always do.. The usual scene as always: a few houses, trees, and 6 or so street lamps thrown here and there.. I casually smoke my cigarette, mess with my phone like normal.. While looking up, movement catches my attention, what I assume is a street light starts hovering similar to what a drone would do.. I watched this go on not believing my eyes.. It's hard to judge distance or size of the light at night, but it's the same bluish tinted color of the street light that has been there, but street lights don't grow wings and hover about... It moves roughly 25 ft or so from where the lamp normally is.. It goes up and down, left and right but never touches the ground or flys off more than 25ft or so from the light pole.. I know it sounds like I'm losing my mind, perhaps I am..
This had my attention.. Maybe it's a drone, but drones make noise and it's a big street light and it's on the corner of two streets right behind my house. I could almost hit it with a rock from my deck... So I started watching a few other lights.. The rest of the street lights (roughly 4 others here and there leading to the highway) are Amber in color.. They move in the same fashion. You can sit on my deck in a fixed position and watch them hover around within 5 minutes of sitting down. My best friend lives across the street and I told him and his wife...
Days go by and I rolled through my neighborhood and mentally marked all the street lamps location mentally.. Now, on Halloween night it was raining hard and I walked outside and looked up at the full moon... The moon was moving like crazy.. it was a drone I assume.. it stayed hovering on location for hours.. every time I went for a smoke I'd look for it and see it in the clearing and it's hide behind some trees.. This thing was way high in the air... I saw another smaller drone a few nights later out back, it had little flashing red and green or blue lights on it and although it was higher than a street lamp, it was low enough you could hear the propellers spinning.. I've heard that noise many nights and thought it was the spinning air vents on the top of the houses, but there wasn't much wind and it just makes no sense... I haven't seen what I think is a drone since around Halloween. I don't have a night vision scope and I've tried to get a good view with binoculars but again, it's dark..
Nightly I see these street lamps move about.. I just came in from a smoke and saw the blue one on the back deck, and one Amber one on the side deck moving freely hovering about.... I haven't went alone to investigate because by the time I get in my truck, I'd be noticed. I figure I could walk the streets at night but it's scary as hell out here.. I've had a friggin bear and her cub in my back yard..
My good friend and two neighbors have seen what appear to be the drones and they described both drones I thought I've seen... The street lights happen nightly though...
I guess I'm crazy, but I came and made an account to ask you guys this: How would you get to the bottom of this? It could be paranormal, drone enthusiasts, tweakers with a drone, or cops watching tweakers with a drone... This is a retirement area, not any children around really.. I'd love to get video of them, but all that would show is pitch dark with a ball of light moving about on my phone.. I wish I had night vision with recording but sadly I do not. I could record it, but it would be phone quality terrible.. This has kept me awake many of nights and now other neighbors have seen lights moving...
Thank you for reading the first chapter of me losing my mind.. I'll tell more on this subject as it happens..
