I’m sorry if I’m intruding or if this is too off topic. I just saw something so strange last night and I don’t know who to ask about it. I live in rural Idaho on a ranch and last night I saw white lights in the sky coming across our field 50 to 100 feet off the ground. I saw three white lights evenly spaced and I thought they were landing lights on a small airplane. I was driving down the road at the time and had time to stop and turn around and start following them somewhat parallel as they were going across our field at I would guess 20 to 25 mph. They were angling towards the road and flew almost right over my pick up when they crossed. I shut my pick up off to listen because I thought they were drones but I could not hear anything. In total I saw three white lights and two red lights evenly spaced crossing the road not much higher than the powerlines. My brother was standing on his back porch as they flew by the house and he could not hear anything either. Him and his fiancé said they may have heard a low whirring sound similar to their window fan on its lowest setting. I know how loud a Mavic Pro is because I own one And you can definitely hear it from a distance let alone five of them. Especially drones powerful enough to carry a bright light and power it.
In summary, I saw five lights (three bright white and 2 red) that seemed to be associated with some sort of craft flying in formation (Steady enough to think they were landing lights on a plane) across Our field at 50 to 100 feet AGL. They were silent or Possibly near silent from about a 100 or 150 foot distance. I tried to follow them but they were angling away from the road. They disappeared out over the desert out of sight. I never saw them stop and go towards the ground. I would say from the time I saw them to the time I couldn’t see them anymore they had to have went 5-7 miles. They were definitely moving together in some sort of formation judging by the equal distance between them and my brother also saw them do a coordinated turn from coming straight at him in a line looking like 1 light to moving at a 45° angle across our Field where he noticed then there were more than one. Do drones like this exist? If they do why would they be out over the Idaho desert? If they do why would they be out over the Idaho desert at night?
