I was on a beach off the eastern coast of Sri Lanka late in the night. I saw what seemed like a star dart around in the sky. I figured it was just an aircraft, but it moved extremely fast in a near zig-zag fashion, making sharp angled turns - something no aircraft can do.

I've been on a UFO binge lately, prompted by all the news about Oumuamua. So many credible and fascinating reports.

I've also seen less resistance to the idea of UFOs than there used to be. People claiming to have seen a UFO aren't outright dismissed as cuckoo anymore.

What makes you guess it wasn’t a drone?

Probably because it was too high up, and probably because I went a few years ago when commercial drones weren't well developed or even widely available

A more rational explanation is that the region is hotly contested by a number of world powers, and that was probably some experimental military aircraft
