I saw a flying object yesterday November 25, 2016 that I could not identify, hence the thread's title. No, I do not think it was an alien craft, it certainly was something of earthly origin: an aircraft, or a drone, equipped with navigation lights. These were the only things that I could see and record on video, as it was quite dark (after 18:15 UTC). I was on my way home after work, when I spotted a few lights in the sky that looked brighter than Venus. They looked like aircraft landing lights to me, but I did not hear the sound of engines. I pulled out my camera and with some difficulty managed to focus on and then to zoom into one of the approaching lights. It resolved into a set of fixed lights in a square arrangement, some white and steady, other coloured and flashing.
These can be seen in the first part of a short video I made:

The two other parts show my attempts to zoom into more lights, that were more distant, but nevertheless, were resolved into sets of steady white and flashing colour (red) lights. These, however, appear to look differently from the aircraft navigation lights. Their arrangement suggests it may be some kind of drone.
Does anybody have a better idea or information on what it may be?
