When I was growing up in Baltimore, once a year my elementary school would do a "Balloon Ascension," which was a fundraiser for the school. Basically, kids would go around and solicit sponsors for a dollar each. A dollar would buy a ticket, that ticket would be attached to a balloon with both the sponsor's and student's name. The many thousands of balloons were then all taken outside - every kid was given about five or so, and all at once they were let go. Whatever balloons traveled and were found the farthest, the student and sponsor would get a prize. The tickets had instructions for anyone who found them as to how to contact the school. I think the finder got a prize too, as incentive to reply.
I don't believe this tradition was limited to Baltimore, I've heard it's pretty common in many parts of the U.S. - maybe elsewhere, too.
As a kid, watching all those thousands of balloons rising into the sky all at once was a pretty magical sight. I remember the farthest away tickets were often a couple hundred miles from where we launched the balloons - they could go both quite high and quite far.

UFO Sighting Report!
At around 12 AM I noticed a bright light in the sky and it was flickering different colors. At first I thought it was just an airplane but it stayed in the sky in the same spot for over 20 minutes. I got my binoculars out to see if it could tell what it was. It looked like a ball of light that was shifting colors randomly and at random intervals. After an hour of looking at it with my binoculars I dusted off my telescope to have a closer look. To my astonishment it was not just a singular orb of light but many staggered lights in that appeared to be a line. I was able to observe this light structure for about an hour and a half then clouds moved in and I was no longer able to see it. It was 5-9 orbs that looked to be in a staggered line. It looked like the light was reflected and was not self emitted. The object or objects stayed in the same spot for over 2 hours. It was in the western sky at about 45 degrees from the horizon.

ok i dont actually think they are balloons after looking all over for them,there is thousands of them,the only thing i can think is they are an image artifact.
reason being , i cannot find any that are not above cloud cover or not against a white background.
unless we are being invaded and using the clouds as cover.

Those dots seems to be some kind of image compression error of the software regarding RGB colors.
from Wikipedia:
The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in electronic systems, such as televisions and computers, though it has also been used in conventional photography.
See it? The colors of the dots are the same Magenta, Yellow and Cyan of the RGB color mixing and so, the software may have a problem interpreting the colors.
Therefore, I assure you that there is no fleet of UFOs on our skies and if you want to search for UFOs, use a telescope and not a internet based software with bad compressed pictures of the Earth's clouds.

Seems that the multi-colored lights are a theme for UFO sightings.

There are thousands of these. Where are the people launching them from, if they are balloons? And why the different colors? What are their purpose?
I'm a believer in the E/UTH but as someone else said if this is them we are in an invasion situation
