A drone delivery location identifier 100 includes at least one sheet (fig.1A,108) located above a support surface 106, with a main body 110, with peripheral edge 112, having at least part of a first side 114 facing away from the surface, and part of a second side (fig.3a,116) facing the surface. Identifying information 120 is positioned on the first side, at least part of which is illuminated by a light 126 positioned on, or integral with, the main body of the sheet. Preferably, the identifying information includes a geo-location coordinate 186, physical address 188, name 190, symbol 142, barcode 192 and/or encrypted code. The light may include a securing device, such as a stake (fig.3A,150), and the sheet may include a grommet 124, at or near the edge, forming an aperture for the stake to pass through and penetrate the support surface to secure the sheet. The light may be a length or rope lights, black light fluorescent, phosphorescent, and/or reflective. The light may be powered by solar energy, battery, line-power, and or UV. Multiple location identifiers may be arranged spaced apart (fig.5A) to facilitate delivery of more than one package 102 concurrently by multiple aerial delivery vehicles 104.
