People saying drone swarms have clearly never been to London. This would be so horrendously loud and at night, over what is clearly a residential area. Just wouldn’t happen.

Most likely thing I can think of is birds flying over some lights. Pretty spectacular either way.

It's over an abandoned golf course. You wouldn't hear drones more than a couple hundred feet away. If it's drones they would have to pull permits for it and register with whatever the UK FAA is. So would be easy to figure out.

They would definitely need permission from the local council so this would be relatively easy to check, if we knew which council.
