No. The FBI rated the witness as highly credible, but the source offers no explanation for the lights or their movement.
A person in the northeastern United States saw two bright red lights near the horizon. They filmed them on a phone and heard no sound.
The lights barely changed position. But in the video, the lower one appears to move slowly around the upper one. The FBI documented the report and rated the witness as highly credible. What can the video actually tell us, and what remains unclear?
The sighting took place in March 2022, at around 7:20 p.m. The witness estimated that the lights were about 760 meters away. They filmed them from a familiar location in a sparsely populated area.
According to the account, the two lights stayed in almost the same place throughout the sighting. The witness heard no sound. The video they filmed on their phone shows both lights, and, according to the report, one appears to move relative to the other.
At the start of the movement, the lower light appears beneath the upper one, roughly where the six would be on a clock face. It then seems to move slowly to the other side, ending just past where the nine would be. The upper light stays almost in place.
In other words, the lower light appears to move around the upper one. The account describes it moving just past the nine; it does not say that the light completed a full circle. The report describes this apparently unusual movement alongside two lights that barely change position.
The FBI said the report was based on an eyewitness’s account and rated the person who made it as highly credible. That is an assessment of the witness, not an explanation of what appears in the video. The report does not say that the FBI determined what caused the movement.
It is not known what the lights were or what caused the movement seen in the video. The source offers no conventional explanation for the sighting.
One light stays almost in place while the other moves to the opposite side. The video leaves the question open: What did the witness see above the horizon?
