Initial data
The following statement was provided by /u/theonetwoeq :
This was taken in Ocean Island Beach, North Carolina, on July 9, 2018. With the Sony a6000, this picture was taken with ISO 10,000, a focal length of 22.5 mm, an aperture of f4,0 and a shutter speed of 15 seconds.
I watched these faint flashing lights flying from right to left (in the form of a parallelogram). They didn't look like airplanes (the lights were much dimmer than regular airplanes, and they also didn't have colored lights).
I clicked the shutter (the camera is on a 10-second timer), went out and watched them. During the exposure, the lights flashed, all 4 of them were stationary, and then disappeared. After that, I didn't see any weak tracking lights, they completely disappeared. You can see how bright the lights were by looking at the reflection they created in the ocean.
Anyway, I've always attributed it to military drones and a young remote pilot who was having fun with me. I wonder if there are other points of view.
Original news
The following submission statement was provided by /u/theonetwoeq:
This was taken at Ocean Isle Beach, NC on July 9th, 2018. Using a Sony a6000, this capture was taken at 10,000 ISO, 22.5mm focal length, aperture of f4.0 and shutter speed at 15 seconds.
I had been tracking these faint blinking lights, flying from right to left (in a kind of parallelogram formation). They didn’t appear to be planes (lights were much more faint than your typical aircraft and they also didn’t have any colored lights).
I clicked the shutter (camera on 10 second timer), walked out and kept an eye on them. During the exposure, the lights flashed, with all 4 of them being stationary and then disappeared. I didn’t see any of the faint tracking lights after that, completely gone. You can see how bright the lights were by looking at the reflection they created on the ocean.
Anyways, I’ve always chalked it up to military drones and a young remote pilot having some fun with me. Curious of any other perspectives out there.
