Time: 10:30pmLocation: Mid-Michigan

Wife and I have been seeing these for the past few nights. I dismissed it as a drone the first night. I've flown drones, i get it, a night flight is fun.

Then we saw it again.

This time we could hear it. We live by a highway so we didnt think the noise we were hearing was the "drone" but it was. It's loud and we thought it was the highway.

It flies low and slow. Very loud but not what I would say is a drone sound. It seems fairly large. First night i didnt get a sense of the size or distance but i had assumed it was a small drone. I now think it was just so high we couldn't hear it and it seemed small.

Probably nothing but I certainly can't identify it.

The provided local time (later on more acurate) is 10:38 PM (22:38) on September 30, 2025.

Now, let's convert this time to UTC. Since Mason, Michigan is in the Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4) during daylight saving time, we will convert as follows:
- 10:38 PM EDT + 4 hours = 2:38 AM UTC on October 1, 2025.

Now, we can generate the links using the coordinates for Mason, Michigan (42.5883, -84.4623):

Looking at settlements that made sense Mason Manor looked like a decent shout so I put it all into Sitrec and it was a perfect match

However after posting the user now claims the location is Leslie Michigan

However a few people posted maps (without Leslie in) of the plane earlier and the OP didn't make that claim then, merely indicating the flight path seemed too far east,
