These are definately lanterns and it appears to me that the people knew they were lanterns. The strobing could easily be a flame flickering around.
The lights burn out like a lantern would, and the formation seems to get messy near the end. Maybe a wind change?
This and the fact that nearly all of them seemed to originate from the same location.
It's easy to trick people using lights. Hell, i thought i saw a UFO when i saw an oval-shaped light moving slowly across the sky... But we live close
to the airport, so i realised it's a plane.
For me, a UFO sighting is a hoax IF:
The film was taken near an airport/military base.
It was taken on an eventful day that would invoke the use of said lanterns [say, if the video was taken on July 4th].
It was taken using a really horrible phone camera, or uploaded with bad quality.
It's NOT a hoax if:
The light is moving around too fast to be any form of aircraft.
It hovers in one spot, then moves on and hovers again, or when it hovers, a projectile or beam is seen shooting from the bottom.
There are more than one light, moving in a formation of some kind. Also moving fast, not slow.
The light/s change color, or strobe with certain patterns [simply flashing isn't good enough].
Yes, i liked the video, but with people you have to be skeptical. I don't think it was legit, they were disorientated lights, and only two/three
flashed, and they simply flashed.
And in my opinion, most
smart aliens would probably have invisible spacecraft, or use some form of cloak. They wouldn't really want to
advertise their presence, because they probably intercept wireless feeds and websites via our satellites, and know that us jumpy humans would probably
launch missiles.
My verdict: the 1'001th hoax i've seen by far.
ADDENDUM: Oh, and i wouldn't instantly believe a video from crowds jeering. These rections could have been set up, or legitimate reactions to
someone else's hoax.
