Narrative:
Possible drone sighting southeast of auh airport. I had canceled IFR clearance and picked up other lights that I thought were airplane lights around a 5 mile final for runway 34 at auh. Upon landing; lights followed my airplane into airfield. I hurried to clear active runway and lights took off directly east. I taxied to hangar and was called notifying me that lights followed me appeared to be a quarter to half mile behind my airplane. No airplane was seen but believed to be a drone; unknown color; but extremely bright lighted but lights disappeared as object headed east.
