Over Colorado, USA last week, many observed a "strange play of glowing lights" in the night sky, causing excitement among both local residents and UFO societies. Two witnesses, Leeroy van der Wegt and his son Nick, even managed to record the strange phenomenon on video
Their short video clip became an online sensation, giving everyone the opportunity to see what Fox News calls "UFO madness" in Colorado.
Three strange bright red lights not only flickered, but remained in the sky for a long time, performing a number of actions. They floated in an uncertain position, changed shape and then, moving to the northeast, disappeared a few minutes later. Eyewitness Van der Wegt believes that it may not have been an alien spacecraft, but he is sure that it was not a satellite or the lights of an aircraft, for example, a helicopter or an airplane. “It was absolutely quiet. There was no noise,”he said.
Another witness, Lester Valdez, reported the following: “These were luminous objects that simultaneously appeared, simultaneously moved and simultaneously disappeared. I've never seen anything like it."
So what was that? Aliens? Secret warships? Or something more secular? The clues to the mysterious UFO phenomenon may be found on video filming and eyewitness accounts, and may conceal a completely earthly origin.
First, the row of lights appearing in the sky look like self-moving objects rather than fixed aircraft lights. As shown in the video and according to eyewitness accounts, they all moved together in the same direction, keeping more or less the same formation in the same air current, then each moved separately.
Secondly, Van der Vegt's statement about the absence of noise from the object confirms the version that the lights were not artificial aviation lighting. Although the luminous objects moved, they were not equipped with a motor or motor. So the lights were probably floating in the air, rather than moving, being powered by any kind of energy.
What kind of lights could float across the sky at night, make simultaneous movements, and then disappear after a few minutes?

The fact that the lights have disappeared also supports the hoax theory. They did not go away at high speed, as might be the case with an airplane or helicopter, and did not disappear suddenly and mysteriously. Eyewitnesses observing the phenomenon reported that the red lights continued to remain in place, but gradually "faded", just like fading road signal lights. Isn't it an interesting coincidence that red is the most common color for road signal lights?
This is not the first time people have joked by firing signal lights and tying them to balloons; identical detections were made over Phoenix in 2008, then in New Jersey a year later, and similar tricks were noted.
Not surprisingly, the bystanders were unable to identify the objects, as most people have no idea what the traffic signal lights attached to balloons look like in the night sky. Of course, not every person should know this: the lights really didn’t look like anything ever seen by eyewitnesses, but this does not mean that they were aliens. Of course, it's also possible that alien guests visited Colorado last week in a spaceship that just happened to look like traffic signal lights tied to balloons …
