The lights are back. I've recorded 4 videos so far to show there is no movement. Bear with me.

When an airplane, in the far distance, is coming directly toward you....it will appear "stationary"....for several minutes.
BUT....film it in time lapse!!! Here, somebody did, at LAX:
Because it's boring to watch an airplane approaching you, hardly seeming to move when it's very far out....and to watch it for 8 - 10 minutes nonstop.....never taking your eyes away.
Tried to find more video examples....guess people just aren't that interested. Of course, on another clear night, you can just go out and look for yourself, again. Use the links in this thread to teach yourself a bit.....
Meantime....one that is funny (relates to "stuckmic" in a way....). When one radio is transmitting, on VHF...no one else can be heard, usually....and a mic button that is stuck in transmit accidentally is a pain in the butt for everyone...because the airplane that is the offender doesn't know...because when transmitting, you CAN'T RECEIVE!! Embarrassing, when you realize it was you....but, you can remain anonymous. Only the guys up front in the airplane know. But, like this guy, usually you give yourself away, when you do what he did, thinking he was on the PA...:
The controller was in a good mood....usually they get ticked off.....
That first video ( Time-lapse ) is showing the same planes...4 times over.
So i`ts nothing like the lights in the OP`s video.
