I never said that there was. I was simply replying to an earlier poster who thought there may have been another sighting that night besides these flares and that indeed seems to be the case.
I have no idea what the 2nd group of people saw, but the first were almost certainly flares. Many reported that the 2nd sighting was of something low enough to see solid structure between the lights and if that’s true, that rules out aircraft flying in formation.
Given the total lack of physical evidence, the only reasonable conclusion is that these people obviously saw something they could not explain. It could’ve been aliens, it could’ve been an airplane, it could’ve been Santa Claus, or it could’ve been nothing at all. With no evidence, we can only speculate.
Didn’t mean to say you thought there was... only meaning to post what I found.
