Mysterious Lights Came From TV Antennas: Photographer
NBC San Diego ^ | 5/6 | Laura McVicker

The mysterious lights spotted last week south of San Diego are a mystery no more.

And the source isn't a flying saucer that's going to whisk you away.

An NBC 7 news photographer believes the strange blinking lights he captured in a video last week were coming from TV news antennas in Mexico, about 15 miles from the U.S. border.

Reports of the mysterious lights generated attention on a number of national and international news sites, such as Buzzfeed and The Huffington Post.

The photographer was in San Ysidro last Tuesday night covering an unrelated story when he noticed the mysterious lights. He returned during daylight hours and noticed the TV antennas on the mountaintop at the same place he spotted the lights.

He believes the foggy conditions made the lights coming from the antennas more striking than other nights – and why so many people who saw them were so baffled.

A number of residents called NBC 7 to report the mysterious lights and a NBC 7 viewer also provided photos. Those who saw the lights all said they appeared to be south of downtown San Diego.

Looks like a Mosque in the lower left of the day time photo.

With a pretty serious fence?

Doesn’t look like a mosque to me, but it could be an Eastern Orthodox church.

Not the antennas, the towers.

Too bad journalists can't get basic facts correct.

Idiots.

That’s Duncan Hunter’s border fence I do believe.

Its the one open border RINOs pose in front of when they want to convince voters they’re tough on illegal aliens.

I don’t know.

In the wider night video from the website, it looks like there are two Minarets and a dome.

I'm pretty sure those lights are actually a ballistic missile fired from a submerged Chinese nuclear sub off the coast of CA...

/Inside joke for those who remember...

“15 miles from the border”

Actually, I think it was an American sub...

If that’s Mexico, then it’s almost certainly a *really* old cathedral, built anywhere between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries....

RE: blinking radio masts:

There’s a mast-farm not too far from where I live; in Cedar Hill, most of the local radio (and TV?) stations transmit from this area.
