paigetheoracle Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Has anyone noticed a preponderance of recent UFO reports mentioning 'orange lights' in the sky or is this just a UK phenomena? Any thoughts on the possible cause, apart from Mars?:shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paigetheoracle Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 aroraborealis? Have you ever seen an aurora? Have you read any of the descriptions of the lights seen?The orange lights are described as moving through the sky like airplane lights but like orange stars in appearance. Auroras are bright waves of colour and not usually orange. I hope this clarifies the difference unless you've got other information I haven't.

Turtle Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Has anyone noticed a preponderance of recent UFO reports mentioning 'orange lights' in the sky or is this just a UK phenomena? Any thoughts on the possible cause, apart from Mars?:bdayhappy_balloons: Possibly the eruption of the volcano in Alaska. :Alien: Volcano's Eruption Colors World's Sunsets | LiveScience=Andrea Thompson]Reports of unusually fiery orange sunsets on Earth and ruby red rings around the planet Venus have popped up on the Internet in the last week. Some skywatchers suspect that these views are being colored by the dust and gases injected into the atmosphere by the Aug. 7 eruption of Alaska's Kasatochi volcano. The skywatchers are probably right. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galapagos Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Could be road flares attached to balloons: New Jersey UFO Likely a Hoax | LiveScience[...]The fact that the two cases are identical in virtually every way suggests that the same UFO appeared. (Of course since UFOs don't have registration numbers painted on the fuselage, it's impossible to be certain, but eyewitnesses reported seeing the same thing.) In the Phoenix case, the UFO became an IFO, an Identified Flying Object. The 2008 Phoenix Lights case was a hoax, created by road flares tied to helium balloons. The hoaxer admitted it, and eyewitnesses reported seeing him do it. In both cases, all the evidence points to a hoax: The lights moved independently like floating objects, not fixed lights on an aircraft; they moved together in the same direction as the wind; they did not show up on radar; and the lights extinguished in exactly the pattern we would expect from flares, going out one by one. And isn't it interesting that red is the most common color of road flares? But wait, there's more ... Possible confirmation of the hoax hypothesis came from another New Jersey eyewitness, one who got a closer look at the lights than the Hurley family. In a call to the police, the man reported "balloons with these five lights flying over right now." :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
