The Great San Diego Light Show: A Chronicle of Confusion
Fear not, fellow San Diegans! Because unlike that time Uncle Phil tried to make contact with aliens using a microwave burrito and a coat hanger (let's not revisit that), these illuminations have a much more down-to-earth explanation.
Here's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (well, almost):
The mysterious lights were, believe it or not, parachutists lighting up the night sky with flares. Yes, you read that right. Turns out, San Diego's very own U.S. Navy Leap Frogs Parachute Team decided to make a grand entrance (because, why not?).
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
So Who Are These Leapfrogging Fireflies?
The Leap Frogs are legendary for their daring jumps and pyrotechnic displays at sporting events. They like to add a little "wow factor" to the pre-game festivities, and who can blame them? It's way cooler than watching paint dry (although, to be fair, watching Uncle Phil chase a rogue burrito with a spatula was pretty entertaining).
This flamboyant arrival happened in November at the National Women's Soccer League game and again recently at the San Diego Legion rugby match. Seems the Leap Frogs are on a celestial light show tour!
But hey, at least now you know! No need to call Mulder and Scully (although they probably would've gotten a kick out of Uncle Phil's burrito incident).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
FAQ: Unsolved Mysteries of the San Diego Night Sky (Not Really)
How to identify Leap Frog parachutists vs. actual UFOs?
Easy! Leap Frogs tend to descend slowly with colorful flares, while UFOs (supposedly) zoom around erratically.

How to prepare for the next Leap Frog light show?
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Look for announcements from the Leap Frogs or the sporting event itself. Popcorn and lawn chairs optional, but highly recommended.
How to convince Uncle Phil aliens aren't attracted to burrito signals?
That one might be a tough nut to crack. Maybe try offering him a real microwave meal instead?
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
How to join the Leap Frogs (if you're feeling adventurous)?
Well, that likely requires top-notch parachuting skills and nerves of steel. Maybe stick to watching them from the ground for now.
How to explain the San Diego night lights to your overly-imaginative child?
Tell them it's a team of brave superheroes arriving to save the day... with parachutes and flares!
