I was followed home by a UFO last night and I'm freaked out.

Why did you post this on gaf. Gaf will call you mentally ill and give you down to a narrow-minded science a perfectly normal explanation and nothing else, and then when the government officially says ok we've had contact with aliens for decades they've colonized more of the earth's crust than the surface area of human population, here's what this means and what you should know then you can talk about it with gaffers. Until then, have fun =. It's like trying to convince people at the local baptist church that Jesus was just a man, you're talking to the wrong people.

Uh, I'd bet that most would love to be proven wrong about this, but the evidence is never compelling. It's called skepticism and critical thinking and it's healthy.

I don't know why they'd need not only one, but a few drones for little old me but ok. I thought Drones were supposed to be secretive though, not shine bright lights in the sky to let me know they're there.

I don't know what it is but the probability of it being aliens is very low, and the probability of it being some mundane normal thing that's hard to make out at night is very high

You don't own the sky and it's not all about you, dude!

Drones come in all shapes and sizes and you can build your own, it can be stealthy, it can also be a big ball of light. They might be surveying something that can only be done at night, who knows! There could be a drone manufacturer there that does test cases as night. It could be anything~
except aliens.

Triangulate and track it down if it concerns you! Get directly under it and it'll be pretty obvious just from the noise whether it's a consumer drone. Then meet up with the owner and tell him that it bothers you that he/she is in your sky.

Everyone has stated this already in the thread and I totally get that but the fact that I've never seen anything weird in my life and then I wave hello to a light and I see these things constantly now. It's just weird.

Here's another video. Skip to the very end as I didn't even know the camera was on until the end. This thing was just chilling in front of my house.

I dunno how to tell you to fix it, but the camera work makes this video hard to follow. Not sure about this one, but in your other video titled "video of info/drone following me" I will say I've worked (govt) on a UAV with an almost identical light configuration (to the one in the later part of the video). As in... that's exactly what it looks like in flight at night.

You're stating it's a drone though so you're not being skeptical (of course I agree that critical thinking is a good thing).
Unidentified Flying Object is more accurate than drone in this instance.

It does look like a UFO.

As in it's a flying object that you couldn't identify. Nothing more, nothing less. Probably just a drone. Maybe a plane of some sort.

I don't know, OP. I think that thing is really weird and I'd be freaked out too. It definitely could be a drone, but it also seems like it could be something military. Or who knows, maybe it actually is an ET spacecraft. It's technically not impossible. The fact that it's always around you is definitely strange, but what milage radius have all the sightings happened? Is it possible that it's high up enough that you just always happen to see it when it's out and it just feels like it's following/targeting you?

When I say drone, I mean quadcopter, a widely available and popular consumer product right now. Skeptic doesn't mean pedantic.

I'm not really getting why you are saying those things are following you or that they're not making noise. From the videos they're so far away I have no idea how you could be certain about either of those things.

edit: just watched your video from the 19th. Looks like a drone

Can UAV's sit still in the sky and look like bright lights because these can? It's only when you get close and they start to move that they look like this.

Why couldn't you just stand still, get your camera nice and focused, and record it? That was the shakiest damn cam work I've ever seen.

You might be humanities last hope.

Aliens are watching you to determine if we as a species deserve to continue. Or if they will start again with version 5

What are you even talking about? This almost sounds delusional and at best extremely ignorant. At least pretty much all consumer level drones come with lights on them. Even tiny baby ones. Do you even google?
And why can't there be multiple drone enthusiasts or one enthusiast with multiple different drones in your area?

That looks like a counter surveillance drone used primarily to capture cell phone signals in a wide area - it's sometimes used during civil unrest/riot's. Seems like someone from a government agency is either testing it or using it/messing around with people they shouldn't be.

How are you coming up with this? It's just a white light in the air?

Yeah, that one was perfectly obvious as being a drone.

Also, having predictable hours and movement patterns means it's anything but an unknown. It's there at those hours because you happen to pass by at those hours. Just like how you keep running into the same people in a grocery store because you have similar habits of when to be at a store. The same way that that 'non coincidence' is caused by observer bias (while maintaining ignorance of one's own habits), we can say here that it's not following OP, it's just making its lap.
Who owns the drone or why it's flying in OP's area is another matter. I don't know if these are commercially widespread, but otherwise you could always just signal it back to fuck off by shooting it.

Hawkeye doesn't take drone prisoners!

(don't actually shoot it, that thing belongs to someone and is expensive)
