Krubeck isn't the only one looking up. On Wednesday night, Casey Edwards, a gold miner and tattoo artist, had just turned off the highway near Medicine Wheel in the Bighorn Mountains when he spotted a single light ahead of him that moved, then stopped dead.

"I'm like, 'All right, that's just weird,'" Edwards said. "I started videotaping it, and then I could see a couple other ones. There were like four other ones."

When he started driving again, the mysterious light did not disappear into the rearview mirror.

"It almost, like, followed me down the road," Edwards said. "Once I got into camp over there, I counted five or six of them in the air. They were just hovering, and you could see them kind of dance back and forth a little bit as they were trying to stay stationary and the wind was moving them around."

Like Krubeck, Edwards said he looked for the logical explanations first. He thought they could be drones ranchers use to monitor cattle. Archery season had also just started, and he thought maybe they could be drones from hunters.
But as the night went on, Edwards said the lights didn't behave like typical drones.

"Small drones, they got maybe a 30-minute flight time," Edwards said. "These things were up there for two-and-a-half, almost three hours."
