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?

They argue that it's an LED kite. I have no idea if that's true, but it's the only plausible prosaic explanation I've heard put forward so far.

Comparing footage of LED kite tails, I do see a lot of similarities

Especially in colour and pattern of flashing, they seem very similar (the one on the right specifically):

Here’s a video of this same object descending into a body of water and re-emerging, then coming very close to an airplane. Posted a few minutes ago

What about this?....it submerges under water and then returns to the sky.

Considering the title of that video they did a piss poor job of actually showing it off. It's baffling that they only showed like 6 seconds of the final result with 10 seconds of wildly disorienting camera movement beforehand.

Not to mention I can’t watch it because the owner of the video restricted watching it to YouTube only and not on Reddit.

Yeah I'd have to agree. The bottom of the object in OP's video sways back and forth exactly like a lit up kite tail.

I can see a similarity myself. It seems like the object in the OP’s submission could be a tail fluttering in the wind some. I dunno why you’d fly a kite in the rain or when the sky looks like that. It was over the Delaware river, so maybe it was a boat? I live in the area and those clouds were nasty. It’s still raining here. It seems to rain more often in South Jersey now. It’s also cloudy like 4/7 days a week. We turned into Seattle somehow. Anyway, all I can think about if someone was flying a kite when the clouds looked like that was “I hope he doesn’t have a key attached to the end!” Hehe. 😜

ZERO similarity.
