If your girlfriend left her robe on, maybe those stars in your eyes would go away?

It sure sounds like some glowing, flying insect along the line of fireflies. What you described is exactly what I get to watch for about 2 weeks in the evenings here in early to mid June, with the exception that our fireflies will light up the night for several hours. It is a sight to behold! I wonder if there is a “new” insect that has been brought into your area.

"Any other viable theories?"

Swordmaker should gofundme for more brandy.

Good reporting even if we never get any closer to the truth.

Hmmm. Interesting.

Probably was a meteor shower. Check this reference, seems to be the same part of the sky for a point of origin ...

That's exactly what we were seeing (amusing that they used Orion as a backdrop o stars). . . but make it entirely local and increase the number of meteors by a factor of ten in the photo. Keep in mind my daughter and her husband, just a few miles away from us, saw nothing. . . and then the same color flashing lights alit in the palm trees. Coincidence? I don't believe in coincidences of that magnitude.

It could be demonic in nature.

Now that's a scary thought. Good thing we didn't smell any sulphur or hear any demonic laughter. . . or even any evil snickers. . .

Swamp gas. Nothing to be alarmed about. Expect a visit by two guys in dark suits with sunglasses - they just have a few routine questions to ask you.

If I should vanish from the threads on FR, send a rescue expedition to Area 51. . .

Could be fireworks celebrating the 497th anniversary of Magellan reaching the Pacific. That’s my guess.

We were saying the meteors were so frequent they literally looked like low brightness fireworks. . . so that's a good working hypothesis.

Now that seems like a likely answer!

I've seen those lights, and have a set myself for indoor use. This was nothing so regular in the movement those laser light shows produce. Movement of the things in the trees was entirely random. . . and these laser light show projectors are incapable of penetrating inside and through and around the foliage in.a 3D fashion as these light source moving objects did.

It was a Russian weather satellite and twenty mini-satellites that launched last evening and failed to attain orbit. They all fell back to earth and burned up in the atmosphere.

So the twenty mini-satellites are now orbiting our neighbor's palm trees?

I'll chalk that up as a low possibility hypothesis.

Those lights are the tortured tormented wandering lost souls of mournful IPhones whose only fault was they could not handle the trauma of the latest IOs upgrade.

I forgot to link to post #47, the best post on the thread =>

You're right. It most indubitably is.

That same story with the trees lighting up was shown on some UFO tv show.

Can you find a link to that story, please?

Hmmmmm. . . interesting hypothesis. Accounts for the local phenomenon. . . however, has difficulty with stars in the treetops. Keep working on it.

We did point out when we recalled my client in Stockton to report the tree development that we were NOT drinking "Moonshine." Why don't you start that GoFundMe and donate the proceeds to FR?

Why it only took seven short hours to get home!

The 'Vette holds seven hours of fuel, even at idle/crawl?

Did a quick check but can’t find it. It was on tv a few years ago. Some UFO show. Remembering the woman said her tree lit up with little twinkling lights.

"One of your neighbors has one of those Christmas laser projectors. The spillover was seen in the trees. They have become very popular and cheap."

Yep, that, night, good company, hot tub, and drink...
