A video that has gone viral on social media shows a mysterious phenomenon that some people believe is evidence of UFO activity. The video, shot in Miami, Florida, shows a bright ray of light moving chaotically above the clouds, as if controlled by an intelligent force.

Some UFO enthusiasts claim that the light is a sign that an alien spaceship is hovering over the city, using a cloaking device to blend in with the clouds.

It is said that the light is caused by the reflection of the sun on the metal surface of a UFO, which from time to time breaks through the cloud cover.

Others suggest that light is a form of communication by an extraterrestrial civilization trying to send a message to humanity using a complex code. They claim that the light patterns are too regular and symmetrical to be natural, and that they resemble some ancient symbols or geometric shapes.

Hypotheses

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

Halo

Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.

Investigation

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

This is a phenomenon they call the Crown Flash. This is a rare optical effect caused by the alignment of ice crystals. The ice crystals are affected by electric fields around the cloud, and they reflect or refract sunlight in different directions. When the electric fields change due to lightning or other factors, the ice crystals also change their orientation, creating the appearance of flashing or dancing light.
