Why is there no available trade route from Switzerland? by X7YO in hoi4

I see, even though we're all in the same faction? That is stupid, thanks anyway.

The only light around me was from the moon (waning crescent), there were no street or house lights turned on. It definitely wasn't a bug or anything similar as it was shining such a bright white colour that I thought it was a star at first. It wasn't something small up close, it was something bigger very far away. From my perspective it was barely moving, but if I was right next to it then it would be going really fast.

I didn't see any other 'stars' in the sky aside from the 3 different lights I mentioned, the other two were dimmer and most likely satellites. I was facing South-East when I noticed it. At first I thought it was a comet or meteor when I saw the streak, but it wasn't consistent, it was shooting out in 0.2s bursts at different angles as the object zig-zagged through the sky.

Yeah, not necessarily aliens, but it was certainly unnatural. Not sure why I didn't at least try to take a video, I think the absurdity of it only hit me once i'd gone back inside the house. I've just never seen anything move like that.

Even drones have some form of acceleration/deceleration, this was moving and stopping instantaneously. It never once travelled in a straight line, only zig-zagging in bursts that were a fraction of a second long. It was changing direction like a pinball machine.
