How close do you think you were to this thing?
Probably 2-3 weeks ago I was sitting on my neighbor's driveway about 2130 (not quite fully dark) and saw a weird green light that appeared as though it was climbing northbound off 35L at SDF...but the green was 'wrong' to be a right wing navigation light on an aircraft, there were no strobes or beacons, and its altitude and speed were lower than I'd expect for even a turboprop. It eventually appeared to turn west-northwest and went behind a treeline.
As a professional pilot, I found it very odd...even helicopters have beacons.
Come to think of it, it very well may have been some type of UAS.
Around July 3/4? Not surprised at all if it was somebody's drone getting footage of fireworks.
