Hello UFO Reddit, I’ve been here once before about four months ago with photos out of my own camera reel that I had no memory of taking that appear to be of a flying saucer.
After posting about them I was encouraged to ask family and friends to see if I had been pranked, and while no one confessed or made me suspicious of them, I have become somewhat biased to the idea that those photos were hoaxed and put on my phone (or hoaxed with my phone).
But I’m back here today to share something my Uncle shared when I questioned if he had been behind the saucer photos. We joke he’s the “crazy uncle” of our family. He lives on large rural acreage, is a prepper, and for the past six or so months hes been complaining that he is being surveyed by government drones.
when I asked him about the saucer pics four months ago he immediately used it to segue to talking about the drones, but this time (given I was a bit shaken up about the saucer pics at the time) I listened longer and heard him out. he says that these drones are fixed wing aircraft, that he sees with some regularity, and more often sees them at night. he says the one that comes around at night is a different plane from the one that hangs around in the day, and that the night one is light up with a very bright blue light. then he tells me that these things can loiter for hours, and that he has never once heard any rotor sound.
At this point I started to tune out, but then he did something he hadn’t done before when yammering about this; he showed me photos. sure enough he has pictures of exactly what he described.
these photos are all cropped to show the drones, as in the original pictures they are at quite a distance.
what are your thoughts Reddit? Not sure what to make of these.

Looks almost like a large insect. Definitely an unusual design.. and no rotor sound ?
Believe me or not got home took my daughter out of her car seat and for some strange reason I looked up and I saw this black very quick thing fly over my head about maybe 60 feet above and was quite it was big and it kinda reminds me of what I saw but the wings on the the I saw were more of a like sharp wing almost like a bat wing. Again it was dark it could be a very large bird I mean very large
Witnessing something strange and have others gaslight you is a very upsetting and alienating experience. Your family owes him an apology
Looks a little bit like one of these: [https://dronelife.com/2019/07/12/delair-drives-new-trend-in-commercial-drone-industry-subscription-based-rentals/](https://dronelife.com/2019/07/12/delair-drives-new-trend-in-commercial-drone-industry-subscription-based-rentals/)
Kind of looks like a UAP Dragon.

I hate to be that guy, but it is hard to hear these statements and then only see a few blurry still photos that resemble a kite or hang glider more than anything else.
If it really is a reoccurring phenomenon, suggest that he invest in a better camera. Until then I think you are going to have a hard time getting people to take this seriously.
