I grew up near Sanibel. I can tell you with certainty that he is definately near the ocean/on the beach because Sanibel does not have enough traffic to have cars rythmically passing by. Those are definately waves. Sanibel is also very dark, because there are no lights allowed on the beach at night because it is smack dab in the middle of sea turtle nesting grounds; the lights confuse the hatchlings.

There are no islands past Sanibel, only the gulf of mexico, and this is definately on the gulf side because there are hardly any waves on the back bay. So the only way that these would be flares or "chinese lanterns" is if they were launched from a boat. I see no boat in this video. Plus, I need to be shown your average private vessel owner who has a machine gun that shoots flares. All the boaters I know in florida have a single shot flare gun...

Also, Who the #### would parachute with lights atatched to themselves into the gulf of mexico at night? Seriously?

Being sceptical is healthy but come on...

this is why people dont put pics or films
of ufos up
you just cant win no pics or or film or
it didnt happen
or they pick flares lanterns
it does my head in
think i need a break from ats

So then by your words I have to deduce that just because someone has pics of an anomaly in the night sky it is ufos? There is no reasonable answer for you other than that?

I am sorry you were so offended by my trying to show that it was something explainable and that you feel the need to take a break from ATS because of that. I was not rude, or unkind, and if that still causes you to feel this way, then maybe you are right.

Im sorry but how can a chinese lantern have 'babies' for want of a better word? Theres noway on earth that is lanterns, im so sick of every UFO vid that gets put up at least 5 people say straight away 'chinese lanterns' and not even in jest (swamp gas) they actually mean it. It could possibly be some kind of new flare maybe?, I have seen 2 similar videos recently, 1 from brazil and another from equador i think, all 3 seem to be showing the same thing.

Well, I am fairly certain that I did say it could be flares several times. Yep, went back and reread what I wrote. I sure did say that.

UFO = Unidentified Flying Object.

Just a reminder...

i think its ufos for sure.we dont know what they are and there not flares or lanterns because they keep going out and re appearing.once lanterns go out they dont relight them selves.flares fall once shot into the air,they dont hang around in the sky like these do.im not saying there aliens but what i am saying is that they could be or they are something that we are using secretly.

Well, no you don't see a boat, because there is no reference point and the camera is pointed at the sky with no attempt made to provide a shot of the horizon, or any other reference point. I would never presume to think that they were fired from a "machine gun" from a boat and in fact said they could be dropped from a plane.

Wow, you are so right. UFO does mean that! But I was saying that they were IFO's. Identified flying objects in that they were either lanterns or flares. See the difference?

An unidentified anomaly in the night sky we are currently speculating about...

Flares dropped from aircraft-

1. Don't float upward.

2. Generally are white

3. Are dropped from military aircraft to confuse missiles

4. Are dropped in a uniform arc and burn out quickly

Flares

Those who actually watched the vid will see lights that are clustered and within that cluster, some are flashing, some plummet rapidly then stop dead. Others move rapidly sideways and up then stop, whilst those right beside them hold their original course. New lights also seem to issue from the larger light at the top.

At no point do these lights make any declaration, on their own part, that they are aliens or secret military craft, illuminati mind probes, or otherwise. Those whom immediately declare they are chinese lanterns, skydivers, or flares, because they can't handle the fact they could be the stranger explanation, are as deluded as those who immediately assume they are aliens etc. Both parties had likely already made up their mind before even getting past the first third of the vid.

We have no idea what they are. That is why they are unidentified objects...flying!

It looks to be similar to what I saw- it acts the same. If it is whoever was videoing this should have been looking in the air space around them and where the ball was because I can guarantee a circular craft will be waiting for it to finish dumping whatever it is releasing.

The craft is transporting these things . I sound mad when typing this but believe me I've seen it with my very own eyes!

I am saying that I feel it has been identified, therefore it is not a UFO.

I posted this video on the Brazil thread , now I post it here as I believe they are the same thing as the OP video .

From about 1.50 you can see the similarities .

This launch consisted of five flares with model rocket fuse to delay ignition so they only illuminate once they were several thousand feet up. I know a lot of people are upset about this being a "hoax" or whatever you want to call it. Bottom line is, it is what it is, and it looked awesome!!

New HD Video of the 1-26-2011 "Utah County UFO" Video shows, ignition of the third light and quite clearly smoke can be seen.

Here is what we have. Three flares (actually half flares, 15 minute flares, cut in half) Each one has "flasher" fireworks taped to the bottom. These are what actually ignite the flare, as the flare burns up it hits the fuse of the other "flasher" fireworks. These fall away as they are ignited, creating the strobing "plasma balls" dropped from the red lights. Above each flare is a 35mm plastic film canister full of crushed up sparkler with flowers taped to it for ignition.

Don't think those really did much, at least that I saw. Each flare has its own fuse, these then are taped to a single long fuse to delay the ignition until they gain significant altitude.
As the fuse burns away, the three flares separate (actually was surprised they did without getting tangled) A flasher was taped to where the single fuse split into three so I knew it was at that point, and then another one just before reaching the flare.
The flares had small holes drilled through the top with the steel wire running through and reinforced with duct tape so they would be very secure. This steel wire then went up about 5 feet or so to "mortars twine" a very strong string, attached to the bags.

Thank you for the psychological evaluation of me and what I believe in and how deluded I am. Might I ask where you received your degree? I watched the entire vid, a few times now, and I would also like to know where you placed the camera in my home that allowed you to deduce how long I watched the video before commenting.

As to what I can handle, or what I believe in? I could tell you stories that would blow your skirt back, but just because I believe I experienced things doesnt' mean that others would or that I actually did, so yeah, I am a skeptic first, ESPECIALLY about vids on youtube with no reference point, shot at night, facing the sky only. Sue me.

As for the apparent all important semantic debate about the correct terminology for this, I will not call them UFO's because I am fairly convinced that they are flares. I will not call them UFOs' because in my mind, I have identified them. I am not going to fault someone else who is not convinced for calling them UFO's, because they are not convinced, therefore they are not identified. That said, yes, when I argue the point that they are not UFO's, in previous posts of mine on this page, I am referring to people equating UFO with alien craft. I am doing so, because there are a couple of posters now talking about the craft that must be dropping these LED light babies. (Talk about an uncaring mother, to just drop her babies into the sea with no concern!) I am not referring to the semantic, classic definition so kindly pointed out by the 666 person.

I am also no longer going to argue this point because I made my own point and see no reason to beat a horse who is already very dead.

Too much emotion on the dance floor!

I am quite mellow actually. Thanks for stepping into my brain as well as the other poster. I have to get a new lock for the front door on my skull apparently.

I would prefer to remain on topic, meaning, LED light babies being birthed by alien craft, rather than rise to haphazardly thrown bait. I will not respond to chum.

Can't anyone discuss anything without having an argument ! I've actually seen what they go into and nobody has even bothered to question/or seemed interested in it...And I didn't see it through a computer screen either- I was around 300 yards away from it- height was pretty low too....It was an energy source - had an electrical humming noise coming from it.

Arguments are not necessarily bad. It is rudeness, and name calling that is bad, or when attacks get personal. Arguing is a way that truth can be found.

As for your experience, I am sure you experienced something and that it was profound for you. That much is obvious. That said, your similar experience doesn't mean that this is the same thing. Unless you also experienced this particular event, there is no way to actually, definitively, honestly compare them in any way other than possibly similar.

The problem is skydivers are becoming more fancy with the addition of light kits when they jump however I would assume you would see lights from the airplane that is dropping them out...are there near a military training area...cool video none the less..
