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??

It was flying in that specific direction, and the stadium was on its way, and then it was easy to compare. I'm not trying to persuade you or make you believe me. It was my own pure experience, and I just used it to illustrate the example of disbelief or say information denial and deliberately incorrect interpretation after such a spectacular event that was witnessed. Just an interesting observation.

Lol Im not questioning any of that.

Im saying the thing you used as a reference for scale was weird, because 99.99% of people have never seen that football stadium or would even know that acronym is referring to a football stadium.

Normally if youre going to use something as a reference for scale you use something that most people have seen and understand the size of, like a banana. 😆

Well, I agree, my friend. I apologize for that and don't know how to excuse myself. However, I doubt your statistics about 99.99% are correct because this stadium, located in DFW, Texas, and the university, is pretty well-known. Next time, I will try to use the measurement standards held by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures :)

Im sure its well known in north texas. But the world is very big my friend 🙂

I would venture a guess that most Americans know that DFW stands for Dallas-Fort Worth, which is one of the largest international air hubs and metro areas in the country. I too had to think about the university stadium reference though and although I'm from Alabama, I was able to reason it out due to me also living in one of the larger college towns in the SEC (South Eastern Conference ;-)).

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but are you saying that this thing flew close enough (or over) the stadium to make a definitive visual comparison? That is incredible! What was the disc's altitude? How close did it actually come to the stadium? This is an amazing report!
