Occasionally, strange imagery and other questionable anomalies appear in footage collected by security cameras and other surveillance equipment, due especially to the strange locations and hours those cameras remain in operation. While scanning a series of emails I received recently, someone had forwarded me a link to this odd footage at the website Disclose TV, depicting some sort of abnormal illumination moving about:
Disclose.tv – Aliens caught on tape in China – TV news Report Video
Although the footage is labeled (rather sensationally) as “Aliens Caught on Tape in China,” what it appears to depict, in fact, is one of the better instances where the rare and ubiquitous phenomenon known as Ball Lightning has been captured on film. Previously, due to the sporadic nature of this sort of manifestation, it has been seldom filmed or photographed. Is this indeed the identity of the anomaly in the film, or is it something else?













According to Chinese officials, a bright flaming object seen near East China’s Zhejiang Province Wednesday evening is creating a stir over flight delays at nearby Xiaoshan International Airport. Air traffic controllers, who reportedly “spotted” the object with flight instruments but were unable to obtain a visual, were concerned about the presence of the UFO, and diverted air traffic from the area to locales in Ningbo and Wuxi.
Recently, I was discussing with a friend a variety of the strange and devastating occurrences that have been frequently occurring around the world, and which only seem to be precipitating disaster. For one, the explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf led to what is now accepted as the most devastating environmental disaster in our country’s history. However, the cause behind the initial explosion that resulted in the oil leakage, a methane pocket that escaped into the pipeline, now has environmental scientists concerned, with worst-case-scenarios ranging from uncontrollable gas leakages to speculation about a gigantic tsunami that could ravage the Southern coast of the US.
As time goes on, people’s perceptions begin to change. Things that once held a certain fascination begin to lose their luster, and one will eventually find that although there are many wonders of this Earth, not all that glitters is gold. Maybe it’s a natural process; just something that happens with age, and experience.
