Does anyone realize HOW HARD that kind of space travel would be, if it was even possible!?!?!!
Star Trek isn’t the real world!!
So a society would have to progress in a straight line for MANY, MANY thousands of years without having to start over like China constantly did with a new emperor or if a war holocaust set the planet back to square one.
Or a meteor. Or a dead sun.
Or a million other things.
And it would have to be intelligent life
And....
they are out of formation supposed to be a Q /s
Ben;
Looks a bit like an array of drones.

Or...
It could involve some weird air inversion or mirage. If parking lot lights on shore are transmitted and bent or mirrored back that might explain it.

Methane Gas/ball lightning?
Could be associated with a release of methane gas in the costal areas off of the Outer banks resulting in ball lightning?

(I Would suggest that the leak from the hydrate would have to be substantial to make it to the surface!)

Some examples of multiple ball lightning!
Dare County has a bombing range.
That is named from Virginia Dare for those interested in history.
I’ve seen flares first hand. Those look an awful lot like flares. There’s some kind of aviation maintenance depot just inland from Ocracoke Island... Bet it was a post maintenance checkout flight and they dropped some flares. I have personally been in Howard’s Pub on Ocracoke and talked to maintenance techs. They flew a chopper over for lunch as a checkout ride.
Definitely a flare event - there were similar events over the continental US during the past year - seems to be some sort of radar?FLIR masking technic usually done by larger planes.
Lights reflecting from inside onto the window?
All sorts of interesting stuff up in the sky out on the OBX. You can watch NASA rocket launches from Wallops Island on the northern banks, and then there’s Cherry Point farther south. Really clear sky and next to no light pollution too.
Looks like an IR-flare pattern fired by a C-130. Those make a very distinctive “devils-wing” pattern when viewed head-on.
I watched these 40 years ago at VAFB, CA. in similar offshore setting.
They use the heat from the flare to spin a fan which makes their rate of decent almost imperceptible.
Same thing was debated about 10 years ago when they were deployed near the Phoenix area.
