Was there a logical explanation for this??

I must admit, I do find it rather interesting...

1. No, they are UFO's

Definition, well you know.

:-)

I am sure the AF could settle it if those where their crews. Of course there is the issue of...jet engine sound.

2. Well that is simple weather balloons what else could it be? n/t

[kentuck]

4. Do weather ballons leave meteor trails??

How did they disappear so suddenly and simultaneously??

[doc03]

5. Invisible paint of course n/t

3. That's tottally odd. Reminds me of some of the old European accounts/paintings of...

...lights flashing on and off in the sky, sometimes even appearing to be "at war" or "battling" each other.

I have no idea.

I've always thought most of the stuff that qualifies for "best evidence" of UFO's was real- but caused by natural phenomena.

I have no good explanation for stuff like what's in that video though there's something about it- and the manhattan video- that doesn't seem quite right.

Oh: It's the whiteness. It's a self-illuminated envelope of white which apparently deforms over time via movement and then which snaps back. If you find more about this post it!

6. I for one welcome our new.... um... triple crafted overlords

All hail, er "newcomers", I guess.

7. Here we go, looks like Army skydivers putting on a show(VIDEO)

HERE is the footage of the skydivers. I guess they do night jumps with sparklers or flares or some shit attached to their ankles.

And HERE is an unedited video which looks a lot more like, ahem, like "night skydivers with sparklers strapped to their ankles" than the much-edited TV footage does.

That's too bad. I was rather enjoying that little mystery. Oh well, always more of those in this big, mysterious world...

9. unfortunately that doesn't look at all like the video

[Poll_Blind]

11. In the opening bit with them doing a jump at night, I think it does. Also...

...in the video from the baseball game you can see that the lights drifted down and weren't "frozen" in place. The look of them freezing is just an optical illusion caused by the Channel 9 camerman zooming in so much.

If you come across other videos of the event, please post though!

8. It must have been the ghost of the guy who was killed in the lake.

10. Doubtful about the planes doing air show maneuvers at night. I will

confess at the risk of seeming odd that several months back, in the daytime actually, I saw the same sort of descending ball of fire with a tail that actually appeared to be moving like super super slow on the horizon. The oddly, it just disappeared. But it had been there for well over a minute. Reported it to a tv station but heard nothing else about it.
My vote is for UFOs. Either that or Dick Cheney's new project.

12. I thought they were talking about airplanes too: They were actually talking about...

...Army night skydivers who put on exhibitions. There's a video I posted upthread with a little snippet of them jumping at the beginning.

13. At night? Uhhhh.... wouldn't you want to see where you are going?

[Poll_Blind]

16. They're Army dudes. I'm sure they perceive themselves extra manly by....

...free-falling while holding hands, in black leotards with sparklers attached to their ankles.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

:rofl:

14. I'd say space junk re-entering the atmosphere and breaking up. n/t

15. Know what it looks like?

Looks like three "Blue Angel" type planes doing a standard manuever at night. Diving together, then splitting and leveling off together. I think I read where there were planes practicing that evening in the area. Would explain what I saw, anyway.
