Santiago UFO's

I apologize if this footage has been posted, but it sure is hard to see if it is anything like, planes, kites, flares, helicopters, balloons.

And you'll have to wait until that camera man steady's his hand, then you'll see some interesting footage.

Thoughts?

Looks to me like a line of airplanes on an approach for a landing after being in a holding patter.

Is that an airport I see to the far right every now and then as the camera shakes???? I think I even see the runway strobe running lights too.




Cheers!!!!

Just a guess, but it looks like a group of helicopters with spotlights.

Video: Nocturnal lights. Occam's Razor: Helicopters with spotlights on an exercise.

Could be.

I am not an expert I just didn't think planes were that close together when they were in the air or approaching for a landing.

I have to agree looks like planes. At firs thought maybe flares because at 0:59 there is a trail coming off one of the lights, but the the circle type pattern of movement seems to indicate it's aircraft not flares.

Several aircraft may fly the same holding pattern at the same time, separated vertically by 1,000 feet or more. This is generally described as a stack or holding stack. As a rule, new arrivals will be added at the top. The aircraft at the bottom of the stack will be taken out and allowed to make an approach first, after which all aircraft in the stack move down one level, and so on.

So no, they are not airplanes since they are clearly horizontal and close to each other.

If it's military aircraft then chances are they would stay in a tight formation. Just too hard to say from the video of exactly what type of aircraft but appears to be man made in my opinion.

I can't believe how many threads are popping up on this one after I posted this on the 9th.

I thought it was an open and shut case of aircraft.

Nothing is an open-and-shut case on ATS!

There's always those who won't accept the obvious. That's what makes ATS so fun.

Nope sorry not aircraft.

I've seen planes on approach in holding patterns to LAX. It looks like a road in the sky viewed from head on.

However, this would be from the side vantage point, and last time I checked, planes don't move this rapidly at such a far distance away.

Couple that with the fact that there's many, MANY more Santiago videos out there including this one:

Please try to tell me these are planes in a holding pattern.
