Narrative

Taken near a military installation. Around 1m45s. Filmed on an HD camcorder from 5.5km-ish away. Shows what I’d describe as ‘tethered flares’, two orange orbs that glow in a fixed position with corresponding orange patches of light on the ground. Whenever the orbs flicker and fade away, trails of gas/smoke drift from their position. This process happens several times. This is a photo of one frame playing on another screen. The full footage is of a higher quality. A very low quality, far short...
