@mike77dro Was that the exact same light arrangements you saw too? Sorry but I'm not familiar with how close the Marco area is to Sanibel Island. I just know that Sanibel's to the north.
if only everyone that capture these videos had infrared. you can see them 10 times better with it, beleive me. they'd be much more shocked if they saw them in the infrared spectrum...or even ultraviolet.... pretty cool :)
@MsMadame Just looked at your videos and they really do look similar. After seeing these lights, I'd spent the better part of my time on YouTube trying to find others like them.
Unless UFO's are burning books and throwing them out their windows, then these are man made. No matter how you look at it, the lights are flickering, and burning off air.
@deathmasta455 Thanks! You're way too kind my friend! Firefighting gets slow in the late summer so I'd take a few shifts off to go on a fishing trip to FLA. Turned out that these MI light videos were my biggest catch from there...
@deathmasta455 nevermind they are flares the ones we saw were red like this but flying really fast and separated then joined each other again..but these are flares I am pretty sure the glow and the smoke huge indicators of being flares almost as though they are tied together...
@gh0sthunter Thanks for watching G'. It's crazy, but with years of interest and research about the paranormal, the subject still eludes me to this day. Nevertheless, one fishing trip to Florida was all it took to catch something that ought to help out the UFO community instead...
Yes, they are parachute flares. They seem to fall so slowly because the heat from the flares rises and gets trapped under the parachute, and it acts like a hot air balloon, and they almost hover. Watch this video: watch?v=ookgfo9Kwgg
@HOAXKiller1 Definitely the best footage of parachute flares that I've ever seen uploaded here. For what it's worth however, they're not what we witnessed through binoculars on hand. The Marco lights did not have smoke billowing from their topsides just heat signatures. There were fingers of smoke present but they were far off to the sides. I won't say that they weren't flares but I'm now certain that they're not parachute flares of that type. Here's a closeup MI video: watch?v=F21eYhNxLB4
@HOAXKiller1 An ardent skeptic myself, I appreciate your moniker and your skepticism. However, It is highly unlikely that these are flares. This becomes evident as you watch the entire series. The probability of flares being coordinated in formation is highly unlikely; And while parachute flares may indeed seem to hover, the probability of them holding these formations is also unlikely.
It's cool video, thank you. I'd say flares, new flares. They don't test old flares. Like the way everything around us has evolved, so has flare technology. When the USAF or the USCG want to test new flares should they all fly out to Area 51 to do so? At 0140 you and a witness see the plane. At 0318 it's acknowledged that there is smoke and a smoke trail. 0400 plane again, 0415 someone says smoke, 0426 "definite smoke." The Air Force owns air space dozens of miles offshore in that area.
@ufoguy1962 The airplane we saw that night was a small prop craft that circled not far from the offshore area towards the sighting but certainly not close enough IMO to influence what went on. Our group did view these lights through binoculars and you could clearly see strong heat signatures emitted from only the tops of the lights with stationary fingers of smoke that remained motionless far off to the right of the activity. What added to it all though were the ominous clouds & amber lightning.
If thats flares.. im Gene Shallot !!! Dude just because the phoenix lights were said to be flares (which they were definately not) gives us noooo reason to even mention flares as a possibility... Look up Dr. Steven Greer and you will learn some good stuff
@ufoguy1962 You are obviously behind on your information . . . The military denied any testing of flares and or planes at that time of night, which of course 9pm isn't that late. But guy you should do you research before posting jargon.
so, a plane appears to fly over these lights, and the lights dim out. only to resume in a new formation after the plane passes by eh? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
I watched from near the FMB pier. The lights were exact in their geometric positioning and were fixed in the sky, as well as in relation to each other. No planes/helis were seen/heard. Lights were close to shore (within 10 miles easily), as evidenced by size/brightness in comparison to a lighted channel marker directly between us and the lights. Interesting to note, CG cutter Marlin sat at anchor within a half mile of the FMB pier for the entire duration. The official story is total BS.
@fmbeachbum1 Thanks for the added information. You were a lot further down the beach than we were then. Regarding that last comment... There were two official stories: one that said it was flight training from nearby Homestead AFB and one that said it was coast guard flare training. It shows how the powers that be couldn't even agree on a way to misinform the public properly.
It's probably a new weapon. You guys sat around and watched it for an hour, maybe getting infected with some wicked virus. Possibly. My grandpa was in Utah's west desert during the atomic bomb tests. I don't remember if he knew what was going on, but he saw the mushroom clouds and whatnot and watched them. You know the end of the story: these people all had major problems from fallout, birth defects, and cancer, etc. Gramps died from lung cancer. Gov't gave Grams a small sum to compensate.
everyone keeps saying they are parachutes, flares, etc. But it still doesn't make sense to me...I can believe it's something "unique" indeed. Thanks for the video, awesome stuff!
@k73sk I really appreciate your comments. They may have acted like flares but anyone that tells us that those lights were hanging from parachutes doesn't have a clue about what parachutes actually do.. . While we all watched them for 40 minutes, nothing those things did had any logical explaination to them. Though there's no doubt that their actions had a level of intelligence to them.
@DieselFrdChikn I rewatched the videos again later to show my girlfriend. The first three are obviously something not ordinary, but I was wondering - supposedly they (air force) are trying to cover it up with "flares" and such...The last video, #4, does indeed look like flares since they do fall from the sky after awhile and some flicker away. Do you think they noticed these lights and sent the flares up immediately to make it "look ordinary"? Just something I thought of after a second watch...
@k73sk Man I wouldn't have any idea. In video Pt 4 they did reappear in the same area where they originally were so you'd have to assume that, they (the military), were also right there under all that weird light activity in order to try to cover it up. If that were the case, I'd certainly like to see our "military flares" up close. We've searched and found nothing on Youtube or any other internet video link about military flare or mf training that even comes close to behaving like what we saw.
@DieselFrdChikn Nah, unfortunately we're not close enough to have seen. Have vacationed in Marco Island though and can imagine the view must've been phenomenal . Prob. would've felt uneasy had we witnessed. Eerie for sure, very similar to the Phoenix Lights too. Keep your eyes to the skies!
I was stationed on an aircraft carrier in the Navy.Ihave seen this exact display 40 to 50 times.They are flares.They are dropped to attract the missles to the heat of they flares,and away from the plane that dropped them.This is just practice.Routine.
Looks a lot like parachute flares, which would explain the smoke. At one point, one of them falls, and it obviously fell off the parachute. The glow on the horizon and the flashes were no doubt from the jet engines of the aircraft that were dropping these flares and participating in the training activity.
The Gulf is a training ground for the Air Force base in Key West. Remember the sonic booms around here a few months ago from the aircraft that accidentally went supersonic while training?
@shiftlock3 Yeah, sounds good to me... Been vacationing here in Marco for the first time for three days now. I've never heard of these lights. I'd only expected to catch fish and a sun-tan here not this.
@shiftlock3 why would they train paratroopers/use parachutes over THE FUCKING OCEAN? Have you heard the aircraft the military uses? you would hear them especially since the ocean increases the acoustics. you wouldnt see those lights from keywest so thats outta the question. Flares dont float and stay in one place and parachute flares are red, not yellow-orange. Parachutes cant move that quick either.
@CannonPros they are flares,have seen them many times in the navy.Those are airforce planes.Yes,flares do float,and depending on the wind,they can move fast.The jets over the water are not louder unless they are close and the sound echos off of the buildings.
@peak199 my friends father has been in the navy for 45 years and still is and has never seen anything like this, so please tell me how they float and stay there then dim then comeback in a different area
@CannonPros They are flares on parachutes.It doesn't matter if your friends father was in the navy for a hundred years,because if he wasn't in the vicinity of aircraft training missions,you would not see this.It happens all over the world,and people mistake them for ufo's. Alot of what you see is extremely far away,or at funny angles.Sometimes they burn out,and you don't see the plane that drops more.The ones that light up again are actually new flares.They freak alot of people out.
@CannonPros I can't believe that there are parachutes that could hang so dead still in mid-air like that. I'm sorry, but it's probably my inability to hold that camera steady enough to get the message through to everyone. There was not a sound coming from that activity and if they did it, that's really fucked-up of the military to do "training excercises" like that in plain sight of a whole sea side community at 8:35-9:15 pm.
Hey diesel, I stay in the cape and I too posted a video but mine is from the news station's website. Check it out when you can. Yours looks to be different from this one.
@BreakingLoose Thanks for the reference. That sure looks similar to the circular arrangement I caught too. What everyone can't see from all these videos that I uploaded were the more frequent but less bright orange lightning bursts happening in random areas left and right of the moving light activity. Also not seen was the constant amber glow against the cloudy sky onto the horizon.
these look like chinese laterns, many vidoes on these things
