Ah yes, the red blinky, as I like to call it lol. I see lots of mysterious red blinkies patrolling the night sky around me anytime I look up for a bit. I see white blinkies even more, like in these videos I filmed:
These blinkies aren’t fireflies, or satellites, or drones, or planes. I don’t know what they are, but I enjoy seeing them. They’re so interesting.
Anyway, ignore all the inevitable pithy prosaic rationalizations. I swear this sub is filled with people/bots just looking to heckle OPs into deleting their perfectly decent videos/stories of ufo sightings.

I saw this outside the plane window while flying around 8 Mississippi on my way to Ohio. I thought I saw flashes out of the corner of my eye, and when I recorded this video, it was visible on my phone screen and in the video recording, but when I looked while recording with the naked eye, None of this was detectable. Any idea of what this might be?
Edit: no it’s not a reflection from my phone. Watch the whole video. I had my coat over my head to block out background lights, and the light moves independently from the direction that my phone moves. Also, the light at times is defused behind clouds. Look at the focus of the light on the wing tip for reference.

Looks like cloud lightning or what not? Heat lightning?
The pink lights are a reflection of your phone’s Infra red sensor.
