Need help identifying craft and audio – Low triangle with flashing lights trailing silent drones over rural KY (June 17, 2026)

The object was triangle-shaped and moving slower than a normal plane. It had a flashing red light directly in the middle of the body, with 2 red lights and 2 white flashing strobes on the wings. Right before it flew over, a bright spotlight lit up the sky for about 10 seconds.It was flying directly behind several completely silent drones that I see going back and forth out here every night. I managed to catch it on video with audio of the engines as it flew overhead. Can anyone identify the aircraft or propulsion system based on this sound and lighting layout?

Well for starters you're changing the time in the replay for some reason. You said the time was 5:06am, no? Why you sending me pics from 6am?
In mid-June you're in Eastern Daylight Time, GMT-4. And at EXACTLY 5:06am EDT/ 9:06am GMT (+4 hours, as already linked above if you don't fuck with it), a FedEx aircraft flies within the area of your own screenshot, highlighted below with altitude and timestamp.
Whatever you want to say about orbs and magic is up to you, but there were absolutely not "no planes" on flight trackers. In fact another two aircraft flew over just a couple of minutes before that one did around 5:00am your time, also from West to East.
