Military aircraft flying over the Dam Neck and Croatan areas of Virginia Beach is not uncommon, but the aircraft John Knight and his son, Benjamin, saw Thursday after dark was unlike any other they’ve seen.

...

Croatan sits between two military installations: Naval Air Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex and State Military Reservation (formerly Camp Pendleton), a Virginia Army National Guard facility. Knight spotted the flying object over the ocean in front of the Dam Neck Annex and watched as it slowly moved over the military reservation and behind the trees towards Owls Creek, he said.

“It flew like a helicopter but made no noise,” Knight said.

...

Knight, who lives three blocks from the ocean in the Croatan neighborhood, was on his deck when he saw the red flashing lights in the sky.

The Knights can be heard discussing the aircraft in the video.

“That looks like a saucer,” Knight’s son says. “Why is it slanted like that?”

In another video, Knight says, “It’s moving super slow,” and “You can barely hear it.”

This week, several people in Yorktown and at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront reported seeing erratic patterns in the sky at night, sharing videos in Facebook groups.

[Allegra]

I can’t take credit. I found it on X. It’s really cool, isn’t it?

“ The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus. “

In a rare moment of coherence, Joe asked Dr. Jill about swamp gas, "Hey Dr. Jill—I mean, "Honey Bunny"—is swamp gas from Venus?"

Dr. Jill snarked, "No, you old fart, it's from Uranus."
