Original news

A resident of Greensboro, North Carolina has taken some amazing images of what he describes as a circular-shaped UFO that emits a triangular purple light from the bottom of the UFO.

He reports: On October 10, 2018 I was walking back to my apartment from work. I saw two other students looking up at the sky and thought they were watching the clouds for rain.

I looked up and first noticed the triangular purple light and then the circular shape.

The first thing I thought was 'I can't be seeing this. Am I really seeing a UFO?' and decided to call my roommate who, luckily told me to take pictures because I was awestruck.

The object was stationary but took up a huge part of the sky.

From work to my apartment is about a mile and the object appeared very close the entire time I was walking.

The light blinked in about two second intervals from purple to disappearing, or turning off.

I don't know if it disappeared because before I walked into my apartment, I looked back up in the sky and it was gone. With it being so close in the sky, I was a bit uneasy but also really excited and awestruck. I couldn't stop looking up at the sky, I have reported this sighting to Mufon.

Since these purple lights are showing up more and more in the sky over the US we may wonder, given the testimony of the resident of Greensboro, whether the purple lights indeed come from UFOs. 

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Light sources on clouds

Lasers, searchlights, car headlights and other light sources of sufficient power can form a column of light in a dusty or foggy atmosphere, various patterns on low clouds, fog or haze. Also, the rays can highlight parts of the cloud, objects or birds, giving them bizarre shapes.

Searchlights can shine with one beam, several. They can be stationary, move, and also form spinning carousels on the clouds, which can change shape and color.

It often seems that the light source is located at the point where the beam hits the cloud, and not vice versa.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

This is most likely the reflection of light on the low clouds. It may be some kind of installation, the lighting of the building, a concert, etc. Smooth edge says that the light is obscured by some other structure nearby. Unfortunately, the video from the original news only contains a single photo and allows you to look at the object in the dynamics.
