Des Moines Residents Baffled by Strange Lights in the SkyDes Moines Residents Baffled by Strange Lights in the Sky Des Moines, Iowa – Residents of the Iowa capital are scratching their heads after witnessing a series of mysterious lights flickering in the night sky. The sightings, which began over the weekend, have sparked speculation and some alarm. On Saturday evening, multiple residents reported seeing several bright orbs in the sky above the city center. The lights were described as spherical, with a soft glow and a slight greenish tint. They appeared to be stationary and hovering in the air. As the night progressed, the lights reportedly moved slowly, forming a triangular pattern. Some witnesses claimed to have seen the lights changing color, shifting from green to red and blue. On Sunday night, similar sightings were reported in the suburbs of Norwalk and Waukee. This time, the lights seemed to be lower in the sky and moving more erratically. Authorities have been unable to identify the source of the lights. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not reported any unusual activity in the area. Local police and emergency responders have also ruled out any ground-based sources, such as power outages or fireworks. Astronomers at Drake University say the lights do not appear to be stars or planets. They speculate that the orbs could be natural phenomena, such as the aurora borealis or meteors. However, the lights were unseasonal for auroras and did not exhibit the typical streaks of meteors. The unexplained sightings have stirred excitement and curiosity among Des Moines residents. Social media has been abuzz with theories, ranging from alien spacecraft to government drones. “It was like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” said Sarah Miller, a resident of the East Village. “It was so eerie, but also beautiful. I couldn’t help but wonder what it was.” The mystery surrounding the lights has captivated the city and left residents eagerly awaiting more information. Authorities are continuing to investigate the sightings, and the FAA is expected to release a report on its findings.
