I think some people believe that life is like a movie and any remotely weird thing that happens which they can't explain off-hand must be a sign of something extraordinary. It also makes great clickbait. The video I saw was pretty blurry but without even knowing the context of the video I knew it was someone messing around with a drone.
Why would aliens, Iranians, or the secret branch of the government use navigation lights?
Mimicry? People will assume it's an aircraft if it has the green light (right), red light (left) and strobe.
If I were an alien in a UFO this would be a sensible thing to do to blend in.
That's outlandish. To assume that a race of space aliens has the technology to travel thousands of light years, but needs to trick us with fake lights is asinine.
Exactly! Everyone knows alien spacecraft use Vorblorbox X-45J premium hypno-lights, not Earthling navigation lights.
(Jokes aside, agreed!)
That goes without saying. The X-45J model has superior phase shifting capabilities for the low price of 45,000 Galactic Union Credits.
Goddamn central galaxy bankers, I refuse to submit! I only pay in Betelgeusian gold coins!
Do you have change for a Triganic Pu?
That's why I voted for Supreme Leader of the Galactic Union, Ageleas of Kepler-444 exoplanet 3, and not Kamala Harris.
To be fair, a top secret black project being forced to use navigation lights is exactly the sort of bureaucracy I would expect from the US government.
This is not the UK.
lol UK is just govt stupidity pushed onto everyone else. In the US it's mostly contained but it's just as dumb.
