There’s a color segment in my video filmed with my phone.

This is the fourth night I’ve been seeing these red flaring orbs. They appear either singly or in groups of up to four, moving in tandem. In all my years of sky watching,an obsession of more than two years, often spending one to three hours lying outside scanning the sky. I’ve never seen anything like this. I dedicate my full attention to the night sky, slowly scanning, watching, waiting, sometimes using binoculars for a closer look.

What makes this especially strange is their constant flaring. I’ve seen plenty of things in the sky and am used to surprises, but this is unbelievable: red, sometimes green or bluish white pulses of light that flare up and vanish.

I’m sharing this here for documentation. I feel it’s important.
