For thousands of years, people all over Earth have reported having seen unidentified flying objects, and of these, the most common one by far is the small sphere that most of the time is seen in the skies as a bright star at night or as a silver or white luminous point during daytime. They can be seen completely still, static, or moving at any speed. At night, they are easily confused with a planet like Jupiter or Venus, that is, until they start moving. And during daytime, they can be mistaken for a weather balloon or a simple helium toy balloon that escaped a child’s little hand, especially if the toy is silver or chrome in color.
They can remain static in the sky for many hours at a time, sometimes all night long, but during daytime, they rarely do as they cannot use the stars as camouflage. During daytime they tend to move slowly, using the clouds as cover whenever they can, and if close enough, they can be seen in full shape as white or silver spheres. In the night sky, they may place themselves in such a position where people would expect to see Venus or Jupiter. And if a person is aware of the correct positions of each stellar object according to their location and time of the year, they may be able to spot the drone as something that shouldn’t be there. At night, a drone can also use the far-away lights of a city or a hill in the background as camouflage, and their movement is masked by the lights of moving traffic there as well. Also at night, they can be seen as big or small stars moving rapidly, far or near, above, and most people confuse them as simple human satellites in space or as the International Space Station.
This kind of drone does not naturally emit any kind of light. They use high-energy electromagnetism to counter gravity. The electromagnetic toroid they generate and are immersed in has a tendency to superheat the atmosphere around them so much that it starts to glow as plasma. This is an unwanted side effect that reveals the presence of a drone. Larger starships also suffer from this unwanted side effect when they are operating within the Earth’s atmosphere. The color of this plasma varies depending on atmospheric temperature, altitude, and humidity level, but it varies mostly because of the frequency output of a drone’s anti-gravity engine itself and how it reacts with the air around it.
These drones operate alone most of the time, but they can also be seen working in pairs or in small groups as well as in large swarms. They can also be spotted in formations with any number of them in it. After solo or pair drones, the most common formation is the disorganized swarm, where they move among each other or all together with apparently no logic. They can also commonly be seen making a line of lights in the sky or moving in an echelon formation, but they can be spotted anywhere and making just about any formation shape, and many times they can be confused as the lights of a larger UFO.
When drones operate in pairs, they are usually scouting an area or a place that can be dangerous for them. In human terms, they are a lead drone and its wingman covering its back. And each race may also use drones with different shapes, just about any shape, including discs. But regarding shapes, they commonly go even further, as many races may use drones shaped like human aircraft, helicopters, cars, and even motorcycles. These last ones, interestingly, are quite common and have even been reported by people like Salvador Freixedo. These motorcycle-like drones may move apparently on the ground, with correct engine noise and all, and then make a turn somewhere and disappear. They like to emulate motorcycles due to their fast and elusive nature. People suspect less.
Even though a drone can physically have just about any shape, what will occur here is most often that a drone, like a Taygetan spherical one for example, will form a hologram of a human vehicle around it to mask its presence when it needs to get close to a surveillance objective, and will also generate the correct noise that goes with it. They do this mostly during the day, but they may use this trick at any time, day or night. I must insist or warn you, on Earth, what is out there is not always what it seems.
But what are they for? Each and every stellar race, and human governments as well, use drones for surveillance, mostly to overwatch an area or to follow an individual or individuals of interest, as well as to map or keep an eye on any designated area. Drones are usually armed and can be used to engage in a conflict. They are also equipped with all kinds of senses and are also equipped to take physical samples, for example of a chemistry trail or of organic tissue. Some drones, like the Taygetan ones, are also equipped with a tractor beam.
Taygetan drones many times do release a cable underneath them to suspend a sensor array away from the high-energy toroid the drone is in, in order to take more accurate readings. When seen, this causes people to confuse them even more with a simple weather balloon.
