The reason why the lights get brighter than the city lights should be obvious. City lights are omni-directional, headlights and searchlights are directional. Therefore, when the directional lights face the camera they get bright. I'm concerned that i'm explaining this.

Consider the city lights, have you even seen a dirt bike with a light intensity brighter than that of a street lamp? Several of these lights do become brighter than the city lights below.

your referring to the second video here, how are the two even related. Well there both lights I guess but other than that that doesn't prove the first video true. The light never go beyond the mountain in the first video. And the second night video is less convincing as there may be different types of lights from different sources.

Granted, you're right about this, my bad. Even still, have you ever seen search lights shine as brightly as these lights do while taking into account how distant they are? Oh and...you didn't have to get hoity.
Thanks

Dude, read my posts already. I'm not the advocating the motorcycle theory. I had once suggested it in a list of possible explanations. Furthermore, no we don't post a video here that is short and not overly exciting, then have someone else post another video and shift discussion towards that video. Furthermore, what you describe is not the same as what is going on here. Using a balloon video to debunk a ufo video is one thing. Using a alleged ufo video to support another alleged ufo video does not help substantiate a claim. They are both unknowns. Its called the scientific method. I'm pretty sure doctors don't use something unknown to help them diagnose another unknown. Now if the second video was proven ufo footage you would have a point however it isn't so I reitterate my point. This video could be motorcycles, UAV's, Helicopters, remote controlled helicopters(gas powered), or any number of things. Not a flying saucer of alien origin.

I'm not saying they're UFOs. There's no way to prove they are. They're just lights in the sky.
