Case of the Curious Clusters: Flares Up the Fun
Remember June 2022? San Diego witnessed a cascade of orange lights descending from the heavens. Pandemonium ensued, with reports flooding in from La Jolla to Tijuana. Were these E.T. phoning home, or something a little more... down to earth? Thankfully, the San Diego Police Department (bless their detective skills) swooped in with the answer: military flares used for a training exercise.
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
Lesson learned: Not all that glitters in the sky is a UFO. Sometimes, it's just the Navy having a little target practice (with a light show on the side).
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
The Leaping Lights of Snapdragon Stadium: When Parachutes Meet Pyrotechnics
Then there was the night the sky above Snapdragon Stadium became a scene straight out of an action movie. People reported strange, fiery objects streaking across the darkness. Cue the dramatic music! But instead of an alien invasion, it turned out to be the legendary U.S. Navy Parachute Team, the "Leap Frogs," making a grand entrance with flares for a sporting event.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
So next time you see fireballs in the San Diego sky, don't panic. It just might be America's bravest skydivers lighting up the night.

Still Seeing Strange Lights? Here's What You Can Do (Besides Calling Mulder and Scully):
Sometimes, the explanation might be a little more mundane. Here are some tips to decipher those celestial enigmas:
How to Be a Citizen Scientist:
- Observe: Take note of the light's color, movement, and behavior. Does it blink, change direction, or just hang out? Details are key!
- Report: Let the folks at the American Astronomical Society (https://aas.org/) know what you saw. They track these things and can help identify them.
- Social Media sleuthing: Sometimes, the answer is just a tweet away. Check local news and social media to see if anyone else spotted the same thing.
Remember: While a little mystery is fun, staying safe is important. Don't go chasing UFOs (especially not into restricted military zones).
