Ok this UFO sighting looks interesting - skies over Arizona

I dismiss most as hoaxes. This as well is probably just a hoax. But I wanted my fellow ATSrs to chime in.

What are your thoughts?

If you were able to provide more context , say a description of what is happening in the video , along with your own thoughts for discussion.

It is unlikely you will get much in terms of response from ATS members if you dont have a small description of the video content and your own thoughts and theories on the video itself .

Looks like unidentified lights , they do move alot , doesnt look like lanterns
or planes , they do disappear then reappear so unusual yeh !

It almost looks to me like a reflection of some kind of light source on a windshield of a vehicle, does that make sense?

Ill keep an open mind however, would be cool if it's legit.

He caught something.

Not sure what that is. But something.

Duly noted for next time.

Here is the video

It's definitely interesting especially the vid, i could say UFO as to i don't know what the objects​ are but can't say Alien.

Around 1:14 in the video, I used to see something VERY similar above and in the direction of Ft. Campbell in Kentucky. Only saw them after total darkness, and I would always assume it was some sort of flares for training as they would slowly fall. I'm not by any means saying that is what this is, but is it possible?

Right, definitely not saying "Alien" yet!

Also, due to the fact that the lights are spotted so close to the horizon you have to at first suspect inversion. Second you have to suspect flares, swamp gas, etc..

One of these days I'd like have a well-researched list of the natural and man made phenomena that UFO sightings are most often ascribed to, with detailed descriptions of how each of those actually behave when comparing to a sighting.

if you said ufo, or didn't know what the object was, or can't say'aliens' you'd be saying the same thing...

I'm going to say hoax, without a single doubt.

True.

Does someone know where the rest of the fotos are because I´d like to see one with normal settings, not 20s exposure and a video at night.

I filmed something similar a few years ago. Guess what it was, arcs over a burning tree branch that fell onto the power lines. Next day I found the remains of it on the ground when I walked there. Was to scared to walk there at night. I know there are no power lines visible in the vid, just saying it could be very mundane...

So would i, cause having that list of local and international man made/natural phenomena, would definitely cut the UFO hotspots​ down or least have a better understanding of what's really going on at said location by day/night etc.

Based on the smoke seen around one of the objects, my guess is that they're military flares. Yuma Proving Ground Army Base is located south of this sighting.

Yuma Proving Ground covers almost 3400 square km and spreads over two counties – Yuma and La Paz. It is located in the southern side of Arizona and represents one of the widest military bases in the world. It is so wide to give the US Army the chance to test some of the most sophisticated weapons, such as artillery systems. As a matter of fact, the ground is the testing range for almost every weapon in the world.

More than half a million missile rounds are taken every year, plus over 35000 parachutes are dropped.

20 Second exposure he wasn't driving

I don't see continuity in the video, it looks like around three segments, unrelated.

Yeah the event went on for long enough that he says he actually got out of his car and set up his tripod.

I would have to say flares myself.

At the very end of the video, (posted above) theres a real-time clip of the event. Very interesting video none the less.

"ABC15 is reporting that the photos were part of the meteor. They were not. The meteor struck about 10 minutes before I pulled over on HWY 95 and got footage of these lights."

Part of the updated OP article.

Apparently a meteor fell from the sky 10 minutes prior to these photos. As much as the person says " they were not" the meteor . it has to be considered .
