Although it's not really visible on the video, at one point the lights moved UP. Even if it was skydivers, I don't think they have that capability. Also, there are postings of others in the area who saw this and they were about 15-20 miles northwest of this area of downtown. I can't imagine a skydiving show being seen at that distance very easily.

just more proof to me that things are getting weird, so many videos of the same things all over the world, just look into it for more than 10 minutes and part of your brain, should go "huh?" one part should tell you that what you are seeing and the reactions coming from the people in these vids, are genuine they are worried, becuase what they are seeing is not natural, even for fucking skydivers...stop being so afraid of what could, and realize that the life you are living is about to change!!!!

oh my god you people and your skydiving bullshit, literally have some common sense and think for one second, you sound like a scared robot, unable to think it could be anything other than FUCKING SKYDIVERS, skydivers dont move like that, just like flares dont or fucking lanters, these shapes are EVERYWHER, you hear the guy in video saying they move eardically with the blackhawks flying around, this is happeneing EVERYWHERE wake up people and keep your eyes up.

Um, you may want to do a Google Earth check. The camera's line of sight from the USS Nightmare actually points a perfect line at 340 degrees towards Nippert Stadium, which places the skydivers about 2.75 miles away from the camera.

The "upward" movement that you witnessed was an optical illusion. The skydivers were merely flying directly toward the camera, creating the illusion of going up and then remaining stationary. In reality, you just can't see their descent glide slope as clearly because they are getting closer to the camera while also flying away from the horizon.

Yes. Once our parachutes are deployed, we descend at a very slow rate to maximize our time in the air for the show. We can slow ourselves down to as slow as five miles per hour vertically, which is about 500 feet every minute.

Actually, they can and do and did. These are members of Team Fastrax, the professional skydiving team based out of Start Skydiving at the Middletown Regional Airport in Middletown, Ohio. The plane you saw was the jump plane and it was returning back north to Middletown, Ohio where Team Fastrax is based out of. It only appears to be underneath them due to your perspective angle. It is an optical illusion.

Actually, our custom-built pyrotechnic magnesium gerb flares have over 100,000 candlepower allowing them to be seen from over 30 miles away on a clear night.

These are professional skydivers from Team Fastrax. They have thousands of skydives and hundreds of practice jumps each. Feel free to check out some of our footage by typing the following into the search bar:
