North of Austin near Brushy Creek and Cat Hollow, witnesses Gus McGiven, Kyle Gomez, and Emily White filmed bright, silent lights; drone expert Gene Robinson says a drone swarm is the most likely explanation (lasers unlikely), citing Shanghai, Galveston, and SXSW as examples, with the FAA possibly requiring a night/swarm waiver and Round Rock police reporting no calls, though extraterrestrial possibilities aren’t completely ruled out.
