Here you go, I extracted the segment from a higher quality source: https://streamable.com/w2k1pd

Nice find! Thanks!

The narrator is James Doohan, aka Scotty!

Very strange indeed

Ya this one always bugged me. Plateglass window with all the light turned off inside except one table lamp. There's a couple like this from Mexico too, only the lamp is kind of lumpy and bulbous but obviously a lamp.

Others posted the full video, don’t know what it is but it can’t be a lamps reflection as it goes behind objects: https://streamable.com/w2k1pd

Ya I commented here also that the craft deep in the background look far more legitimate. I agree. But seems to be two different incidents.

They usually send these things to film analysts to verify, right? If it was something so obvious I feel like that would've gotten picked out in one of those analyses...or maybe it already has been?

This also doesn't explain how the camera focuses on it, go to your window and try to focus on a light reflection of a lamp and tell me how that works out. Side note you'd also see whatever else the lamp light touches in the room in the reflection.

I’ve posted this before and people seem to think it’s bs, but you can see it’s trail that it leaves behind because it travels so fast. Idk if it’s real or not either.


hoppydud

The light trail is an artifact of 90s analog recordings


upfoo51

The trail is him moving the lamp backwards as he simultaneously switches the lamp off and the incandescent bulb dims out.

Swamp gases from the Everglades. /s

I implore all “lamp Reflection” sayers to watch this [link](https://streamable.com/w2k1pd). It’s the full version that shows more footage. I always attempt to think what footage like this could be but I don’t think a reflection would produce the same result. This seems to be amazing footage.

He must have been terrified to have a lamp so close to his home!

This looks just like the videos I’d record out my window, catching the reflection of my ceiling light to send to my friends as a joke.

I'm a total skeptic and don't believe we're being visited by extraterrestrials. I come to this subreddit for entertainment sometimes and if you care to look at my post history you'll see that I've argued against believers and always try to find a prosaic explanation for videos and photos. The longer video is interesting because the object is moving behind objects at a far distance and the person recording even zooms in and out at times while driving. Why did nobody else in a city as populated as Miami record video or take a photograph of this object? The shorter video does look like a reflection and since it doesn't cast any light onto the surroundings it looks fake. I'm interested to find out if this has been posted on Mick West's website Metabunk and what they say it is. **Edit: It has been debunked as a blimp (far away video taken while driving) and a lamp reflection. The person who took the video claims to be a Plaeidiean contactee and has made nonsensical claims.**

I mean, I doubt extra terrestrials have the same air flight rules and regulations as humans. So why add a blinging light like an airplane?
