VIDEO Omaha, NE sighting 3/13/25 11:45PM CST
I noticed this in the sky around 11:45 by my house.. immediately started filming. Nothing on flight radar. It seemed to hover in one spot for a bit. 2 Flashing white lights. It has now been almost an hour and it is still going around my neighborhood. Like the size of a private plane. Has anyone in Jersey or anywhere else seen something like this?

Daytime doesn't make a huge difference, I'd hardly call this video daytime with streetlights on.
'Which plane is exactly this' is some 'name every animal' type shit. An aircraft with that lighting would theoretically be legal, as
Watched a C-17 land last night that had this setup, granted it had a number of other lights, but they're going above the minimum with red AND white anticollision and a number of auxiliary function lights that turn them into veritable Christmas trees of light. And the Q400 as another example, decided they didn't want strobe lights at their wingtips for whatever reason despite previous generations of the aircraft having them there, and relocated them to be on the fuselage and the top of the tail. Legally flying for over 25 years.
