Original news

Date of sighting: Nov 28, 2023

This is something I have never seen before. NUFORC has been allowing me to go through their info and share it and I found this. Although its from a few months ago, I just am baffled by the shape, color and positions of the lights. I believe it's not many, but a single large UFO. It was seen over the water and then suddenly disappeared. This is a craft that rose out of the Potomac from an alien base about 4 miles below the river floor. The lights were the UFO powering up and then it shot off, too fast for the human eye to follow.

Hypotheses

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

Kite

Tethered flying machine heavier than air. Supported in the air by wind pressure on a surface set at an angle to the direction of movement of the wind and held by the guard rails from the ground. The first mention of kites are found in the II century BC in China (the so-called snake-dragon). At the moment there are many shapes and designs of kites.

There are also kites, equipped with LEDs. The forms that emerge LEDs can be different: echoing the shape of the kite to Supplement his picture or absolutely independent. Color, frequency and sequence of blinking LEDs is varied.

Контрастный объект на однородном фоне

This version can refer to any observation in the contrast of an object on a solid background, both day and night.

Night it can be a light in a dark house, on the technique in a dark room, etc.

Day the color of the sky sometimes merge with the color of the surface of the Earth at the horizon level. While it may seem that the object on this piece, floating in the sky. It is clearly seen, for example, at the marine landscapes. This illusion may occur as in the photos (especially black and white) and by direct observation.

Mounting

Photo editing began to be used almost immediately after the advent of photography techniques. They were divided into methods of photomontage without manipulation of the image after receiving the photo and retouching of the photo itself or its negative (plate, film, etc.)

The lights of cranes, pipes and skyscrapers

Most often, this category can be attributed to the lights of a crane, high-rise buildings, boiler pipes, etc., equipped with nighttime lighting that is visible through the haze, fog, or when the color match between the support and the color of the surrounding space.

For unexplained may be taken accidentally or deliberately issued when shooting photos and video. A feature of the lights of a construction crane (in contrast to the street lights) is the movement of the boom, which is a light source.

Investigation

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

Since this object is just bright dots on a dark background, it is impossible to say for sure that it was in the sky. It can be something on the wall, in the room, etc.
