Magnus47 makes an interesting point : they are going to have to be perfectly unambiguous about revealing themselves in order to avoid misidentification as yet another Pentagon black project!
I've just Wiki'ed Sirius, and it's more visible in summer, and doesn't change colour frequently, more between sightings. This thing seems rather too high up for that far north.
Yes it's a crap sighting, yes it's a crap photo, but all the same the mundane explanations are running out.

Sigh, another ufo sighting, with no real pictures. Wow a light in the sky. Why is it, that whenever there is a ufo sighting, that no one has a good quality camera? Everyone sure seems to get good pics of everything else that randomly happens, but when it comes to ufo's all of a sudden its like camera's are back in the 80's.

Pretty interesting.

I have a buddy travelling there in the next couple days on business. He's a photographer and says he'll try and get some pictures if there's anything to be seen.

Interesting, for many reasons.

1. Very deliberate, very public, very consistent.

2. Unexplained, leading to continued interest, excitement, fear.

Propaganda for perpetuating number two, perhaps, because of

1. Psychic or emotional energy fuels these appearances,

2. Fear and excitement are useful to whoever is doing this.

Of course, disclosure could be an option, but that has not been exercised, as one poster pointed out.

As soon as someone with a good camera arrives on scene this thing will disappear. You'd think after 8 days, someone would have figured it out by now. So I'm calling hoax until proven otherwise.

If I didn't have plans for the weekend, I would drive out there, it's not all that far for me. If it's still around next weekend I'll probably go. I guess I'm not too convinced yet of how urgent it is.

After all, there are two lights shown in the video. One seems to be stationary while the other moves behind a building. Until further evidence is presented, the stationary one could easily be a star and the moving one could be a plane.

Of course, I hope I'm wrong. I'll have to keep an eye on this one.

This is a lousy light and lousy sighting.

Honestly, it looks too me like the effect a laser makes projected over a distance. Maybe some hoaxer out there with a boat is aiming it up in the sky toward the clouds, or out over the water into a fog bank (that is in between the witnesses and the hoaxer).

Don't mean to poo-poo anybody's ideas, just for myself I find the videos so far to be completely un-interesting.

PS: The perceived movement on the video can also be attributed to movement/jittering of the camera. There's nothing else in frame for a point of reference. That's why I hate this type of "lights-in-the-sky" thing, you just really can't determine anything from it.

however, in about 10 mins, experts will come along and explain it as a star, most likely sirius, forgetting that witnesses clain it 'zips around the sky'

It did no such thing in the video, and eyewitnesses aren't exactly a reliable source.

The camera was moving around significantly and it looks like Venus zoomed in and not focussed.

The apparent movement can be attributed to bad focussing, cloud movements and time elapsed videos from different time frames stitched together. It's all a hoax.

Look folks,this simply is not dang good enough.
A couple of years back,if there was some kind of event in a certain US state,there would be some ATS members on the scene,within days.

Here we have a potential UFO event(or a fake event/nasa project to be exposed),
And no ATS folks on the scene!!!

Come on brothers and sisters.
Who is near? Get down there,and document it !
Get some decent video/good stills!
Will it happen again tonight-get down there!

the other trick is to get a helium balloon wrap it in foil send it up way high on string, fishing line etc and laser it,

I went to a party that had a mass of them doing it to freak the locals out in the fields where it can be visibly seen.
it was ace
oh heck you can send up L.E.D.S attached too!

Wouldn't Venus be visible low over the lake looking west at that time of night?

Ill say one thing, im getting a very bad feeling about this.

If you guys do travel to these types of events, after recent events about loonies being terrorist loonies.. Be VERY weary to who you talk to, and what they are talking about. Do not get sucked into any political conversation.

Lights in the sky, for hours you say?
near a government organization you say(not sure but i think i read somewhere this is near a nasa complex??)


My gut is telling me this is some kind of show put on by the government and further hyped through the media to get exactly what they want.

Bodies on the ground, names, talking to people.

Edit: Another thing that comes to mind is that they may be testing real stealth tech, Maybe they are shining lasers at a true stealth aircraft... In the video it sure does look like its just someone out there with a laser. The changing of the colors could easily be a test to see if a certain spectrum detects it better then others. Looking at this from that aspect it sure does look like something is being tested, even the helo's circling... there just seems to be alot of variables here they could be testing against.

the human aspect, the inflight helo's, and against a directed laser that changes spectrums. i mean... thats how i'd test a real stealth craft in the final stages?
