I witnessed two strange lights along with a set of parallel lights hovering above, that I filmed!

On July 4, 2020, I had visited my parents home to celebrate independents day. Around 9:30pm (21:30) I left to return home. When I got to the intersection just below my parents house, I noticed a round flashing light in the sky.

My first thought was an airplane, headed to the airport. But then I noticed a second light at a distance behind the first one. Our airport doesn’t receive airplanes that close together. It’s a rather small airport with not much traffic.

I grabbed my cell phone and snapped a quick picture. I wanted to get out and watch it but a car pulled up behind me and so I turned and pulled to the side of the road.

I stopped the car, and got out. This is when I decided to film the lights. I was a little shook up and fumbled around with my cell phone but I was able to get three short video clips. In the last video, I panned from the light in the front to the light in the back and stayed with that second light until it disappeared.

The light was red and yellow like fire and flashed in pulses. (All caught in video!) then it just dissolved into the sky. After the event,I reviewed the still picture I took and noticed a third set of lights above the other two with very faint lights in two rows, exactly parallel to each other. These lights were NOT visible to me with my naked eye and only appear in the photo. I also zoomed in on the initial ball of light and could see it wasn’t completely round. There was a “stem” of light on the front.

The event lasted for several minutes. Much longer than any pyrotechnics would
