I’ve seen varying forms of this done from LEDs connected by wires to a battery pack, to flashlights tied to a rope. The most popular way is to take a light source, put it on a string that you swing around in a circle with your hand while rotating your body in its own circle (making sure that the lowest point of the circle is always in the same place). So, what is this “ball of light,” and how can you create one? The simple answer: light painting. What to do? Well, I’ve always thought that a person makes his or her own luck, so with that in mind we stopped at a waterfall on the way back to Grant for one more try at our ball of light. By the time we reached the car, it was completely dark, and we had solid cloud cover. After seeing rapidly approaching storm clouds and worrisome lightning strikes on nearby ridges, we decided to abandon the plan and hike back to our car. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t clear as we had hoped. I framed the shot in the remaining daylight, planning to place the ball of light between the two boulders that appear toward the right side of the frame. One of those peaks was Square Top Mountain, pictured below. Bierstadt, one of Colorado’s celebrated Fourteeners, and a variety of other nearby peaks. From there, we had jaw-dropping views of Mt. Leaving our car behind, we climbed from the parking lot at 11,500 feet to the top of a nearby hill at approximately 12,000 feet. We traveled to the tiny hamlet of Grant and, from there, drove up to Guanella Pass. I figured it wouldn’t do to produce the ball of light in my front yard, so we headed for the high country about two hours southwest of Denver, Colorado. Always up for a bit of nighttime fun, I agreed, and we (me, my wife Heather and my husky Kai) set out to produce a photograph for the 500px Blog during the full moon on June 4th. Specifically she was interested in how I create one of my “balls of light” images. Similar lights spotted over San Diego and Tijuana in June 2022 were reportedly flares being used for a military exercise, according to San Diego police, but the military never confirmed.A few weeks back, 500px asked me if I’d be interested in contributing a tutorial to the company’s blog. It's not the first time strange sightings have sent the internet searching for answers. NBC 7 has not yet heard back from the Navy. Air Force was conducting drills in the area but NBC 7 has been unable to verify that with the Air Force. The Coast Guard told NBC 7 they believed the U.S. Coast Guard to see if there were any drills Monday evening. Several commenters theorized that the sighting was military-related. Shanmugam said it left a small streak and a glow behind. It was almost like, I wouldn't say it flew away, it just blipped." And these lights were four big rectangles and almost like pulsating." "It was just hovering for about a good two minutes. "It was such a bright light, you cannot miss it in the sky," Shanmugam described. A board member from the Mutual UFO Network says it's an exciting development. It's not a confirmation that aliens exist - just an admission that aerospace experts can't determine what they saw. Next month, Congress is expected to receive a military report that details several sightings of unidentified flying objects.
