“HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Several ABC13 viewers captured video

of strange lights flashing over our area Wednesday night.

The video above shows the lights hovering in a strange formation, flashing repeatedly.

There is currently no word on what they were.

Something similar was also spotted in Miami yesterday.”

(My opinion is that these are clearly what we call “Chinese lanterns” which are paper cubes that have a small flame inside and float up into the sky. People often release them around holidays such as the 4th of July.)
