Greifswald formation lights

Record summary

What happened Many witnesses filmed clusters of orange lights in formation over the Baltic during the final months of East Germany. The lights remained visible for an extended period and appeared stationary or slowly changing. Evidence Multiple independent videos and mass witnesses document the display from different locations. Explanations considered Illumination flares suspended under parachutes during military exercises strongly match the colour, duration and downward drift. What remains uncertain The event’s visual strangeness is real, but images do not show solid objects connecting the lights. Primary source Greifswald formation lights — Wikipedia
