What is that light?

Now that nearly everyone has a digital camera in their pocket at all times, UFO sightings have become almost commonplace. Even the U.S. Government has taken an interest in figuring out what people are actually seeing out there, dedicating a task force to the phenomenon and creating guidelines for determining if your sighting is truly “unidentified.” Often, even if something in the sky looks very weird, it’s a perfectly normal natural phenomenon, such as the sun glinting off a contrail, a spaceship launch, smoke from a transformer, or even a wayward balloon.

When this man spotted a strange light in Gadsden, Alabama, he was convinced that he was witnessing something otherworldly. And—in a way—he was correct.

In this video, a man films a strange, bright light in the sky, convinced he’s seeing a spacecraft from another world. What he doesn’t realize is that he’s just seeing another world.

Most likely, what this man witnessed was nothing more than a particularly bright presentation of the planet Jupiter in a very clear night sky. Jupiter is often mistaken for UFOs because, under the right circumstances, it can truly look like a beacon in our atmosphere, rather than a distant astrological body.

Venus is another planet whose relative brightness in the sky leads folks to think they are seeing a spacecraft, and it tends to hand close to the horizon, or (as this video states), “near the tree line.” Venus is so bright, in fact, t hat it’s regularly mistaken for the landing lights of an airplane.

The “pulsing” effect seen in this video is just an artifact of the camera trying and failing to focus on something in outer space.
