Vibrating multi-coloured orbs hovering in the night sky have caught the attention of Blue Spring residents in Missouri, US.

Margie Kay from the Missouri UFO Network at first believed the floating object was Vega, the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, but as other multiple colourful objects began to appear, she’s now convinced it’s an unidentifiable object.

One resident believed it was domestic drones used by local governments and law enforcement agencies in the region, but the captivated residents all claim the strange lights are indeed UFOs.

Missouri Orb ...Vega?

In the local news report of this, the orb is seen to drop at a high rate of speed before it returns to it's original position. There is more than one orb visible at times. The local Mufon rep. (in the news report ) confers with a colleague and rules out Vega as the source. Due to the aforementioned, I do not think it is Vega.

Thinks that...

When bright stars are close to the horizon they twinkle more than when the are directly overhead. This is because the earth's atmosphere bends light and when objects are close to the horizon there is a lot more atmosphere to look though than when looking straight up, Different colours of light are bent by different amounts passing through the atmosphere, like how a prism splits up white light into a rainbow, so bright stars near the horizon can appear to twinkle different colours. Vega is a star
