GoPlayonAhighway Posted August 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Mass sighting of strange moving lights in Columbus, Ohio. This seems to be happening more and more frequently lately. The government should come out with a somewhat believable explanation as to why this is becoming a common occurrence. That would put some people's minds at ease, and possibly help restore some trust between the US government and it's citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imaginarynumber1 Posted August 18, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) 2 minutes on google... mystery solved. On July 3rd, 2015, this year’s annual Red, White and Boom! Festivities in Columbus will include two special performances by Team Fastrax™. The Team is scheduled to perform not only their American Flag Skydive, but also their pyro performance. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2015/07/prweb12828974.htm UFO no more.

Why should "the government" come out with an explanation, especially when those of a certain mindset would discount it anyway as a cover-up. Which part of "the government" should come clean? Particularly when the mystery's been solved, and "the government" had nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis914 Posted August 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Do lanterns normally follow each other? I would guess the wind at those levels would be too turbulent to snuff out a lantern completely because they looked to be at least cloud level. Those look like altocumulus clouds so that would be about 6K to 7K feet approximately and they were going in and out of the cloud mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted August 19, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thanks everyone for figuring this out so quickly. I was thinking lanterns because we pick them up every 4th of July, but the cloud issue that was pointed out made that very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking lanterns because we pick them up every 4th of July, but the cloud issue that was pointed out made that very unlikely. My initial thought was lanterns, as well. After that (before even reading the explanations in the thread) I thought "Hm, well... it COULD also be skydivers with flares on their legs". Turns out the latter was correct...

Kurzweil Posted August 19, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This video gives me the same disappointment I felt the day I stood inline for 3 minutes to get my football autographed by Stanton Friedman. I went home looked him up online and realised he wasn't a football star at all. I guess that did explain why only four people were inline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 2D image (gee, like every photo or video...). 2D images contain ZERO depth information, and there are only a couple of ways you can infer distance. In this case there are absolutely NO visual cues that they went 'in and out of the cloud mass'. Just because they were inline with any clouds means nothing, and you most certainly CANNOT see any clues that the clouds were in front of them.. As for the video, what a load. Some moving lights, around 4 July, during an event involving skydivers with pyro, sky lantenrs, etc.. Gee, must be aliens.. 'Secureteam 10' can now be added to the list of wide-eyd infantile ufo=alienz tinfoilhatters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeder Posted August 20, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Do lanterns normally follow each other? Yes, they are usually released within seconds of each other and will follow the same currents Edited August 20, 2015 by seeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Krupe Posted August 20, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yes, they are usually released within seconds of each other and will follow the same currents That obviously means they're intelligently controlled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
