“What are they?”: Family spot strange lights over WA beach
Four distinct lights have been spotted over a beach in Western Australia, with many theorising about the bizarre phenomenon online.
A family have spotted a peculiar group of lights over a beach in Western Australia, leading many to theorise about the bizarre phenomenon online.
The family were spending time at White Hills beach in Bouvard, about an hour and a half drive outside of Perth on Monday night, when they noticed the puzzling sight.
Footage shared on social media shows a number of distinct beaming lights scatted across the night sky.
“There’s three, there’s three!” a child is hearing calling out in the footage.
“What are they?” says another.
“Four!,” a voice chimes in.
The social media user who shared the footage noted the phenomenon was “witnessed by many people along the West Coast of Australia”.
“Yes this is what I saw, just on sunset, so they must have been hanging around for a while,” one person commented on the video.
“I’ve seen (sic) these at 5am a couple of months ago in perfect unison and flashed a light one after another really really quickly and kept going no noise was really weird. Just off Wembley Downs WA,” another wrote.
The footage was shared to a UFO sightings group in Perth, where other social media users theorised about what caused the lights.
“I saw this in north of Perth a few weeks ago … I was curious if it was jet fighters (doing) training. The after burners glowing. But stuff knows it was freaky,” one person wrote.
“Space debris that falls,” another questions.
“(It) was defiantly not flares.”
Another said they had “never seen anything like it”.
“At first there was two bright orange solid lights one faded out and the other just went off. Five mins later, there were four of them but one of them was a vertical orange line,” they wrote.
“They all disappeared then I seen (sic) another two individual ones a couple minutes after that. I even had to call my wife out to see them.”
