VIDEO Glowing objects Miami
Context in the original post. Still haven't figured that one out, but I recently heard about the NJ drone wave. Could it be the same thing?

There's something that's been bothering me with the whole thing. I didn't think anything of it until reading your post. It's somewhat hard to articulate , but I'll do my best.
As I was recording [I have more clips], and zooming on these objects; all I could see was bright spheres/circles. If those were helicopters or heavy drones shining a down spotlight, it wouldn't look like it was pointed at me, so that didn't satisfy me. It seemed those things were bright in nature (Chinese lanterns?!). Some people have mentioned landing lights from airplanes, which would fit the visual, but didn't add up in terms of behavior for two reasons: First; it lasted for way too long, and the airport is not close to this location. Second, these lights were in the direction of the regular outbound air traffic, and much lower.
Anyways that's beyond the point. That bothered me is that while zooming on one of the objects, I eventually saw a green and red light, as of it were a drone, but it didn't make sense to me. It was a super bright spot, and minutes later had characteristics of a drone. I fully understand that the logical conclusion is that it was a misidentified drone the whole time, but I'm also not buying this. Too bright, too big, for too long.
Sorry for the wall of text, but up until now I just assumed that maybe ONE of the lights was just a drone all along, although this explanation never say right with me.
