Does Bizarre Video Show Multiple UFOs Flying Over New York?

Does a new video show UFOs flying over rural New York?

As OutKick readers are well-aware, UFOs are one of the hottest topics in the news these days, and there's always something new hitting the web.

That now includes footage out of Lowville, New York.

The popular X account @UFOSightings101 shared a video showing multiple lights in the sky in a string formation and wrote the following explanation from an alleged witness:

You’ll see in the video, the lights that appeared, and just as they came slowly in the frame, the lights went out I have seen star link and this was not that. I have also seen in person military exercises using flares at night and this was also not that. I am big into looking at stars and very aware of the world around me and I slammed on my brakes. The first time I saw it didn’t get my phone out in time. I waited a minute or two and then it appeared once more and got the video just after it started, I waited around another 10 minutes and did not appear again, it seemed like it lit up pretty much in the same spot as the first time.

You can watch the viral video below, and hit me at David.Hookstead@outkick.com with your thoughts.

I know the alleged witness claims these aren't flairs, but that was the very first thought that came to my mind. The reason I say that is because they appear to have all gone out in what would have been the firing order.

The lights didn't randomly go off. They all went off in order starting with the right and working to the left. Is it possible flares had been fired in that exact order and then burned out?

I definitely don't think it can be ruled out, and while I definitely like to keep an open mind, there's nothing about this video that indicates highly-sophisticated technology, in my humble opinion.

Could I be wrong? For sure, and that's why we embrace debate here at OutKick! Think you have a better theory? I'd love to hear it. Reach out to David.Hookstead@outkick.com, and we can start cutting it up over UFOs and the paranormal.
