Was it a military exercise? Parachute flares? Or a bonafide UFO squadron maneuvering off the East Coast?
After a brief period of calm over the ocean, 14 glowing lights hovering over the water suddenly appeared

Someone on the video can be heard saying, "Look, nothing in the sky at all, then all of a sudden...” “Anybody tell me what that is?”

People in the background can be heard commenting on the lights.
“We’re in the middle of the ocean, on a ferry, nothing around. Look. Nothing around. No land, no nothing,” the person added.
One person who commented on the video said that he believed they were from a nearby military base.
A fleet of lights recorded off North Carolina’s Outer Banks has ignited a debate about whether they are honest-to-goodness UFOs or just part of a mysterious military exercise.
So far there is no explanation for the glowing orbs filmed last month hovering over the ocean off North Carolina's Outer Banks
I am pretty sure I know what those lights are," Derrick Chennault, who identified himself as a former Marine based at the 2nd Marine Air Wing in Cherry Point, N.C. wrote.
“We used to regularly drop flares out of the back of our plane in the evenings for military exercises in that area," Chennault continued. "They are one million candle power each so they were pretty bright and can be seen from far away and floated down slow as they hung from a parachute.“
The military base is approximately 125 miles west of the Outer Banks.
