@failurexdesgn Hi. Is it the same ?

@viscosity31 Yeah the lights look the same! We're over here in South Florida though. It was right by a storm!

[failurexdesgn]

We were standing there for a good 10-15 minutes watching this and then the storm just got too close so we left.

what you're seeing there is quite a normal weather phenomenon, a pileus cloud, these sometimes form above a vigorously convecting cumulus/cumulonimbus cloud. They are formed when air is pushed up by the strong updraft from the growing cloud, it lifts a moist air layer to dew point temp forming this strange looking stratiform layer over the cumulus top that looks a bit like the cloud is wearing a cap. As they are sometimes refered to as "cap clouds"

@Stevan223 That is exactly what I just saw, that's why I'm here, your description matches mine EXACTLY! It's a very cloudy night here where I am, I went to my porch and I saw a light behind the clothes moving really fast and in circular lines, no way it could be a plane, then I thought it was my pupil but I looked to other places and the light was definitely only behind the clothes. I also thought it looked like a ghost flying!!!Man I think you saw exactly what I just saw!

@JinxOz Poor attempt at sounding eloquent or meaningful you pretentious prick. Dont pedal you pseudo religious bullshit on here.

Clouds in the sky is the begining of a new Acopalypse, All of God's Angels have drawn their final breadth upon our air, let us not fall and trip over our destiny.

Take a look

@xdr5xdrf

Yes, that'd make sense and would also explain what I saw. The thunder cloulds were probably so far away that all the typical lighting happent under the horizon, so I only saw the intra clould lighting happening high in the cloulds itself. Thanks, been wondering since then what the lights were, and this is definitely the best explanation.

An excellent catch this video, too.

I saw a similiar thing an year or two ago. It was during a very dark and cloudy night and happent rather far in the northen horizon, above the red glow of a distant town. There were many of these strange light effects whirling in the sky at the same time, and it was quite spectacular. Best I could say it was as if there were giant ghosts flying in the cloudy night sky, haha.
