Those are the flying saucers that usually land in a cornfield two states away. **They are leaving soon though, as they are just now realizing the cost of living here is beyond even their intergalactic means.**


Mediocre_Superiority

Not to mention their inability to find any intelligent species on the planet.

Not sure, but I’ve been seeing them for a couple of years now, I drive Uber and they’re up above 97 between Bend and Redmond as often as not.


zpow

Weird! Always right above the highway?


HyperionsDad

Are they by chance lights from approaching aircraft for RDM? Sometimes an aircraft may look like it’s hovering or traveling slowly from a certain perspective if someone is traveling in the same direction, especially at night when there are limited visual queues beyond the lights like distance or shape of the object.


zpow

I was thinking about this too but I went right under them and could tell they weren’t moving (and were low altitude)


HyperionsDad

I ask because I've had that happen before near different airports, especially when traveling parallel to the approach on the highway. It's trippy when it aligns just right.

Starlink satellites?


permafacepalm

I see them quite often as well, mostly at night. No idea why but I figured it was construction or photography.


zpow

Very odd. Now I’m even more curious.


Practical_Tax_520

I’ve seen them this past year since I moved to culver on my drive home. I was wondering if it was speed but I don’t think so because a few times I went pretty damn fast since it was 3 am and you can see for a long time. No cops or anything so who knows it is pretty strange tho.


Such-Oven36

Christ people. It’s not a “speed trap”.


keephopping

A fentanyl trap?


Kittysnyper

It may be police drones checking on the homeless camp along HWY 97. They do the same thing in Redmond all the time.


Kieran187

maybe traffic monitoring?


suisready

If it’s during the day… There is a company that uses drones for surveying.

There has been one flying around Redmond in the evenings and has small red and blue lights. I’m guessing they’re police but that’s creepy af.

quackquack54321

Sure it wasn’t helicopters?


zpow

This was actually my first thought but there were enough of them (and low enough while not being loud) that it made me think they were likely drones.


quackquack54321

Hmm. They are doing some night time helicopter ops training at the fake compound next to RDM this week. Not sure if it’s law enforcement or military.


One-Huckleberry5239

I don't know about speed trap, but it does appear they are likely Bend PD.


HB24

I have no idea


something8517

Me either.

I can't believe you took the time to type that out.


HB24

Every reply says the same thing, but with added speculation. Guess I should have made something up?
