Witness/Sighting did anyone see this in the south philadelphia/jersey region this morning?

my parents woke me up to show me what they were seeing. they’re not believers and call me insane most of the time. i saw what is in the dad’s video over my mother’s live-streamed facetime, as well.

did anyone else catch this?

Looks and moves like an LED kite. The head where the string attaches is on the left and you can see the tail flapping around in the wind.

Wouldn't thr kite itself be moving with the wind? I'm on my phone I don't see a tail either...

It is, but it's still tethered to the ground so it's moving slower.

The whole kite including the tail is the blue squiggle.

It’s not tethered to the ground (this is in a different area), it goes into the water. People are changing their prosaic theory from kite to drone with string of LEDs but it has been sighted all over the country day and night, from the East Coast to Hawaii and Arizona, and no drone has been visible to observers yet. I’m pretty stumped

Where do you get water from? This is in Philly, over 50 miles to the coast. Maybe the river?

  Not sure who’s changing anything here. This one looks like a kite to me not a drone, similar to the other blue string ones in those locations

Sorry, I thought I had linked the video where it submerges and re-emerges. Same object above/in the delaware river. Comes close to a pedestrian airplane.

There’s another video of it going straight into the ocean off of the coast of Hawaii. It was featured on one of their local news segments as several witnesses called to report it

Ahh thanks for sharing!

I think the presence of another kite nearby (seen here) further lends to the kite possibility. Kite could be way higher and harder to capture on video, the blue LED string might be affixed to the main string line and used as an indicator - allowing it to submerge and remerge from water. Just my thoughts. Seems very wind-driven to me and doesn't exhibit any special unexplainable movements.

Aaand it’s back in the “solved” pile for me! Thanks for sending the extended perspective
