What's your take on a solid red light on an approaching aircraft?

JW SEEMS ODD TO ME

And

Needs a bump any takers?

Red is left position light.

Seeing red and green lights indicates the aircraft is approaching. The lights help pilots, tower, ground controllers, and ground support personnel determine aircraft position and direction – thus the name “position lights.”

Used to seeing a blinking red light not solid

Solid red in center of aircraft?

AS65 Santa Cruz

Thx op. Seen something odd not tracked on flight24

Anti-Collision Lights: Red
Nothing attracts attention better than a super bright, red flashing light.

Flashing red anti-collision light. Savvy Passenger Guide to Airplane Lights- AeroSavvy
A red anti-collision light on the ground means danger! Xenon arc lamp on a Boeing 767.
Red anti-collision lights are located on the top and bottom of aircraft so a light can be seen from any angle.

Probs just ups though lol

Eastern US is quiet now except for C17 and a refueling aircraft.

C30J AL

I wasnt blinking though. Just solid. Seemed odd. Above 10000

H60 Kodiak Island, AK

Two things.

Karmic law states that they must tell you in advance...

In the movie RED DAWN Commercial and Private Commuter jets are the primary means of infil

And it wasn't the left position light on the wing of the plane?

Nope directional solid red in center of aircraft

OK, that's weird.

Maybe someone else has an explanation for that one.

Could you tell what kind of aircraft at all?

Large lol seemed between 15 and 25000? Central Nebraska. Two blinking white on the tips.

OK, sorry.

No idea.

Currently Observing normal jet traffic. What I just saw was totally different. Probably shouldn't be discussing on here. It was quiet. Even the 40000 ups and other jet traffic is loud tonight. This sucker was quiet. And slow. Maybe 190 ish? Best guess.

Sorry, I don't know what it could have been.

Two E6's

OK

Both descending/landing.
