So i just went outside to smoke a cigarette and i noticed a little "amber" light in the shallow woods behind my house. I'm not sure what this could be (it's not an animal since it hasn't moved and there's only one light, disregarding the option that it's an animal). I'm tempted to go check it out, but i'm also weary. I have no idea what to do. Also, the apartments behind my house are notorious for crime in all aspects, which is why i'm hesitant to go back there. Any ideas would help.
1. Sit out there w/ binoculars and try to figure out WTF it is. Take detailed notes for study of the object, and a few still pictures wouldn't hurt either. 2. Video tape it, watch it in slow-mo, and post on the internet with your preliminary findings + the video of the object in question. 3. Call the Airforce and local airport to find out WTF is in your AO if it's in the sky. It's your choice. (I'd do it in order 1, 3, 2). Proceed to 2 if 3 does not have an immediate answer.
Some sound advice. It's prob some anti crime deterrent or something if you are living in a crime prone region.
I would wait till daylight and check it out. Could it be the small red lights showing you that a video is being recorded? Sounds fishy good luck! I am looking forward to updates
Just to make things clear- it's not in the sky, it's in the woods behind my house. it seems like the light is directed at my house, in which no illegal activity ever takes place. it's also more amber than red. i think i'm gonna try to walk up to it to see what it is. i have very shallow woods, maybe 10-15ft. between my house and the apartments behind it. there's really no need for any LEO to be watching my house at all..i don't even smoke weed anymore, just drink occasionally and take my prescription klonopin as prescribed. it just all seems kind of fishy.
Perhaps its just a reflection coming off of a street sign? Maybe the tail/head lights reflection of a car?
Well i got the guts to go back and investigate, unfortunately there's a fence blocking me from finding the direct source..hopefully i can go back tomorrow and find out what it is.
Use a 1,000,000 CWP, (Candle Watt power), spotlight and light the area up as bright as noon. You'll find out damned quick what it is. (do not stare into the light, or even look at it, you will go blind for appx 30s, and will lose night vision for upwards of 20 miniutes. Go in short pulses. (2sec on, 10 sec off). Flash the area until you determine the source of the lights. Or pull the NV out of your chest, (at least my bed chest), and turn it on. Observe what you see from concealment. (can't exactly see through it if you're under cover). Keep away from the source of the light as humanly possible, and don't make any noise. The way you are describing it, it could be anything from simple driveway reflectors reflecting light from the full moon, to somebody sitting out there with a red-dot scope mounted to their weapon aiming at your residence. It could just be some dude who got tired of driving, and pulled over for a nap but forgot to turn off his lights. Red lights wouldn't be an animal.
ahah nah its a movie. he like claims hes a alien from another planet and everyone thinks hes crazy and he gets like sent to a crazy person home or something i dont remember
you need to get out wayyyyy more OP if you're really worried and have nothing to hide you could always call the jakes (cops) otherwise you've probably got daylight coming up soon if you dont have it already you could always head there as planned in the daytime i got a day off, so i'll be checking back later to see what the fuck that shit was
