The footage, which has since been reposted a few times from a Japanese YouTube channel, left many viewers puzzled as to what the flying anomalies could be, and also spurred conspiracy theories. 

Some reports pointed out that the Japanese UFO sighting closely resembled the white lights witnessed in June over Hyde Park in London, UK.

It was 11:08 when I noticed four blinking lights on a platform that appeared square or rectangular. It was mostly clear last night with only a few clouds. It came from the south along I35, it veered northeast over my house and did not appear to bank. It flew past my house, maybe a quarter mile, on it's north east course, when it stopped and hovered. Hard to tell. It might have been closer. The lights were very bright. I had my binoculars with me. Nothing special just an old Bosch 40 x 20. The structure between the lights was blurry. I live next to Randolph air force base. It is common for planes and helicopters to fly over at night.The lighting on these crafts make the outline of the objects show up through the binoculars. Not on this. What I could make out was a series of what might have been struts holding it together, but the detail was blurred.The lights on it were dazzling. Blue White to ruby red. It was hard to look past the lights to focus on the object. I thought I might be looking at a drone. The lights were flashing and appeared to be changing position on the platform like they were moving or the thing they were connected to was twisting or warping. My eyes were being overwhelmed by the flashes and I got a sense of vertigo from watching. When I lowered my binoculars the lights went out. I thought it disappeared but then out of the corner of my eye I saw another one. Looking just like the first. It flew to where I thought the other one was. It two was flashing the same kind of Blue white light with the one intense red one. I watched it through my binoculars but it was as blurry as the first. It flashed it's red light several times. The light was so intense it seemed to light up the inside of my binoculars. I got that feeling of vertigo again, and put my binoculars down, to rub my eyes. It was still flashing when I looked back, but then it started moving north east again. The first one I saw was back where I first saw it disappear with it's flashing lights on. It then started to follow the second one still heading to northeast, in the direction of Seguin Texas. They moved slowly, (like they were looking or scouting for something) beyond my field of vision, their lights blinking a dimmer version of the white blue light and they started strobing or pulsing pretty fast before completely fading out. I don't know if they turned them off or if they just disappeared, before living my field of view. I checked my watch it was 1118 pm. I saw them for a total of 8 minutes. But it only felt like 2 minutes for the whole thing to happen. That was kind of strange. After they were gone every time I would close my eyes I would see that red light like it seared my retina, like when one glances at the sun or a welding arch. When I closed my eyes to go to sleep I could still see it. But this morning everything is fine.Only I'm kicking myself for not having my phone or camera on me. I wanted to run inside and grab them, but I could not take my eyes off of what I was seeing, and i did not want to loose them or miss anything. That's my story. The only other thing I want to add is as I was watching the second one, for a moment I had a feeling it was watching me, watching it.

Saw massive flying object/objects in the sky from our driveway in Austin, Texas late last night, July 24/25,2015, between 12AM and 1AM. The object/s made a vibrating/ humming noise and disappeared very suddenly after a long while. Keep in mind it was a half moon last night so this was DEFINITELY NOT THE MOON. Not sure what it was but it wasn't anything normal by any means. I captured 3 photos but can only upload 1 here unfortunately.

My mind is blown.
I can't stop thinking about these items that were exploding in the sky by my house.
It just kept going and going and going.
If you look up at the sky, you will see stuff floating around over your house... and if you have a a good camera, you can zoom in.

I'm just a normal regular old girl who has never been a conspiracy theorist, never worried about the government, never worried about aliens or anything like that... and now here I am completely blown away. My world has been turned upside down.

I have been studying all day today and I have really had an awakening.

I am going to buy a telescope tomorrow.

what kind of like a falling star but it was the blue circular light it was gone in a few seconds but really I guess my view kind of got blocked out by a tree but it was there and it was gone... I need to know what this was... it was beautiful
-Alief area in Houston

Bright red light which seemed to be falling to the ground. Caught it out of the corner of my eye and within about 3 seconds it changed from red to green with a yellow tail. Guessing it to be 8-10 ft in diameter by 12-14 ft in length. Oval shaped. It disappeared into the horizon traveling at a very high speed. my wife witnessed it as well. seen in the direction of the corner of 1464 and Old Richmond rd in Sugar Land TX yesterday 7-22-15 at about 8:45pm. Did not have a camera to get photo or video.
-Anonymous in Sugar Land, as reported to Texas UFO Sightings

Green light streaking and smoking similar to a meteor with a jet in obvious pursuit at a very low altitude (the streaking object, not the jet) time was about 9pm... No pic or video from me but somebody else had to have captured it...the smoke trail lingered for a while but by time I thought to capture it,... It was too dark... Light out when it occurred tho.... North side of Austin..... Traveling in the sky from east to west
-"DAD" in North Austin, as reported to Texas UFO Sightings

Appeared very large - the largest I've ever witnessed - and much larger than the typical streaks from the Perseids, for example. 
-Donna S in Austin, as reported to AMSMeteors.org

It was the brightest rapidly moving object I've ever seen in the night sky in my life, including meteor showers and comets I've stargazed. It would have filled me with wonder had I not immediately worried it was an airplane from the military base on fire. It slightly faded and then came back powerful again. There is a theme park nearby, but in the exact opposite direction from where I was looking. There was no glass obscuring my view after I stuck my head out the (already open) window of my car
-Kyle in San Antonio, as reported to AMSMeteors.org

Green ball of light moving very fast from west to east. Saw the same exact thing a week ago at about 3:30am from a near by location. Made no sound. Almost wrote it off as a meteor but had never seen one like that. Now seeing it again, it has peaked curiosity.
