Guys... I just woke up and am rolling through the posts that I missed. regarding the firefly theory...

I do not see anything unusual in the video just lights on the side of a mountain perhaps campers? Nor do i see said lights take flight which would deem it a UFO.

The objects were way to still to be fireflies..even though the cameraman was "shaky" you can still see how still they are in the triangle formation.And too intelligent to be fire flies.And you can make out some metallic on the objects.

Also, correct me if I am wrong, but fireflies are not constantly lit up.

Any update on your new question answering video airborne ?
Looking forward to seeing it!

Excellent videos from OP. Fireflies are a good suggestion, but their overall pattern of activity doesn't seem to match Airborne's videos. So I agree with his last comment about them.
Interesting to follow up the geology aspects. From Google Earth, I think Airborne's mountain is part of a northeast-trending sandstone ridge, part of the Appalachian fold belt. Cooling quartz grains can generate luminous phenomena due to piezoelectricity, and if there are local faults, tectonic strain effects and radon gas release may contribute.
Also, according to Wiki, these Blue Ridge forests release isoprene vapour, a reactive chemical that may also contribute aerosols to a complex plasma orb phenomena.
None of this rules out a possible ET input, as Airborne's weird footage looks a bit like performances of plasma orbs much higher in the atmosphere, as in the St Petersburg and Greifswald lights.

I'm having trouble understanding the scale / size of the objects which you are filming.
Can you offer any commentary pertaining to that?
Kind regards
Maybe...maybe not

If I read airborne880's reason for buying this property in this location correctly, you won't find casual campers or a whole lot of population density out there.
In that kind of terrain you'd be a fool to go scrabbling around a mountain at night unless you had an intimate knowledge of the terrain, some serious flashlights, high boots for the rattlers, and were well armed for the bears or somebody burying a body. You sure wouldn't want any younger children following you.

I will try not to confuse you more because I also am having that same trouble. At first... we assumed that they were large objects far away. It was only the next morning, when we took a good look at the location where they were, that we became very puzzled and had to admit that they must have been small objects that were very close. This was puzzling only because we had preconceived ideas of what"UFO" might look like...... so when the objects that presented themselves to us arrived, we had to shift to an "orb" thought process. Orbs, or energy balls, or whatever they may have been make more sense when dealing with the distances and location below the horizon that they seamed to be at. These objects had to have been closer than we though and had to ave been moving amongst the trees on the mountain side. The horizon and view of the sky was above them with hillside and trees between them if that makes sense.

Uhhhhhhh sorry but I dont get the question. The property is 12 acres. we were just hanging out the first night when my son saw the lights. Arriving at an opinion as to the size was a process not an instantaneous thing. Again..... I think some people fail to understand the many ways that these things can play out and how fluid the situation is. we were not there to film UFOs. That will be this weekend. But then, I was enjoying a brand new property purchase and showing it to my son. The whole place is still new to me. In fact... I have only given a down payment and am waiting for final papers and then have to hand over another $20,000. I am in no way intimately familiar with the mountain beyond what I have said. The question you ask.."would,t I have known the location" is kind of a dumb one because had I known it..... I would not represent confusion about the size....as I have done so many times. Over?

Would you not already have known the locale. " When the objects that presented themselves to us arrived" seems to indicate that you were thinking small when the video was taken, rather than the next day.

Just got back from a doctors apt and will try to do that now. The better news is that he ordered me off of work until Sept 15th!!!! That gives me so much more time to deal with this new thing that has happened and plan out a more thorough investigation.
