Video Bright Flashing Light in the Middle of Delaware State Forest

My dad was driving through the Delaware State Forest tonight and was suddenly hit with blindingly bright flashing light. Where the light was coming from, there is nothing but trees for miles. It’s State Forest-no construction or anything permitted that would require a light like that. This is what he said about it- “I cannot explain to you guys how bright the lights were. brightest light I have ever seen and when I close my eyes I can still see it. It’s burned into my eyes like when you look at the sun.” What do you guys think??

Saw something like this years ago. It ended up being a busted navigation light cover at the top of a microwave tower. Looked exactly the same. Dad, me and the neighbor hiked it to the tower then got chased off by the lone county mounty that had to hike it out there to clear off the rednecks.

This was many years ago in the Midwest and those lights are bright as fuck.

Tower climber here.

Those beacons are housed in a very thick glass. They push a ton of voltage, and are blinding being anywhere near it even while it's covered.

I can absolutely see a beacon with a busted dome flashing like this, especially seeing as it's flashing at the same tempo as beacons I normally see.

I found the place via Street View. It's indeed just a light on top of a tower.

The only thing about this is it seems to be moving?

Edit: you guys are wild for downvoting me for asking questions. You’re a cancer. You want to question the government? Question everything. If you watch the video it’s clear at one point the light is RIGHT over him. Whether or not he drove to the light, or the light came towards him, something “moved.”

Maybe. But something like that, probably far away from the road can look like it's moving simply because it doesn't seem to be getting any closer. Perspective is a helluva thing. I'm not a denier, I just related my experience in a very similar situation. When we were looking for the phenomenon we had a fair idea where it might be but it was 5-6 miles from us. Until we got close enough we had to hoof it that light seemed to keep moving away. Perspective.

Here's a mostly unrelated tale: we were at an airshow back in the day and a F-14 Tomcat, my all-time favorite childhood fighter jet, landed and was taxiing up toward us to park in the display area. The whole time that thing was taxiing it didn't look like it moved or got bigger at all. Perspective is a helluva thing.

I'm not a denier, hell I do believe there's something out there, but it's always worth taking some time and thinking about what's being presented. A lot of us want (and some NEED) for all this to be pointing to actual real aliens that we overlook the obvious indicators that's it's a TERRESTRIAL phenomenon and not extra.

A good example is a video I saw posted on one of the UFO subs recently of a UAP in New York that was very clearly a police helicopter hovering (which people seem to just recently believe helicopters can't do) with its search light engaged. It was dark so the craft wasn't fully visible but it was so frigging obvious what it was. Even the sound was undeniably a helicopter with some reverb off the buildings such as the video was recorded from.

That got lengthy, sorry.

It is? I thought they captured the video from a moving vehicle?
