I'm a pretty light sleeper, so It isn't rare for me to wake up in the middle of the night. However, as I laid there at around one in the morning, I began to hear an extremely high pitched whirring noise that didn't seem to go away. Curious, I went to my window to see in there was some sort of aircraft flying nearby. High up in the sky I spotted a tiny white light that seemed to flash every two seconds or so, and was darting back and forth in the sky at alarmingly fast speeds. Then it vanished, leaving me feeling very confused. I'm not going to disregard the possibility that this could have been a military drone of some sort, since I live close to a military base, but the speed at which the object flew and the noise it made were like nothing I've ever seen or heard of.
