So people have said reporting of these objects could be better, so I hope this lives up. I saw something on the way home from work a few nights ago. I think it was a drone, but I’d like some input. I have date, time, and location in this post, as well as a video that is not going to amaze anyone. I was with a buddy of mine who saw it too.
We were headed to Belton, SC, coming in from the 413 direction. A couple of miles after we turned onto 413 at Ebenezer crossroads, I look up at about a 30° angle through the windshield and see…something with green and red flashing lights. We lost it for about a mile then got eyes on it again for the rest of the ride into Belton (the highlights in the pic show our route and where we had eyes on.it). Here’s the crazy thing - the closer to Belton we got, the higher in the windshield it got. It was making a few tiny circle movements but mainly hovering in place. So we go down 413, bear off and go down Mayfield Heights Rd, cross Pine Top, and come to the stop sign at West Rd and Brown Avenue intersection…about an 8 mile drive from where we first caught sight of it.
As God is my witness, at that intersection, we both got out the truck and this thing was hovering nearly right overhead, just slightly over our left shoulder if we were facing the intersection. (Red x in the pic)
You could discern a solid mass behind the lights, but thats about it. We get back in truck and drive the half mile my house. When I got out and look towards the school (southward, as i live north of that intersection), it’s now at about 40° just skimming the tree tops from about a mile away. This is when it dawned on me to attempt to get something on camera and as I started filming it, it slowly started to ease off towards the standpipe (a local monument) and town square…so about NW from that intersection. I’ve got a video of it easing away…a good minute and a half of it.
So in approx 8 miles, the thing went from 30° up off the ground in view to directly over our heads, then back to like a 45° angle from ground at about 1/2 mile away. Whatever it was, it was really low. When we got out of the truck and saw it overhead, we couldn’t hear any noise coming from it at all.
I would just like for someone adept at flight tracking to look and see if anything was on radar at that time…speaking of which, when we stood up out of the truck and it was nearly right overhead, it was about 1150pm EST on 12-20-24.
Also…one other thing…part way thru the video, I manage to zoom in on the thing. Obviously, the object got no clearer…but It almost looks like it’s got a “wake” like a boat or maybe a contrail of some sort. Maybe it could be some weird some weird digital video artifact?..i dunno.
I put up some pics and my video of it. I’m not savvy enough or give enough of a crap to make this up, so you tell me what it was…lol
