(ETH) – Many locals are left scrambling for answers over a video of a time-lapse recording over the Outer Banks of North Carolina that has ignited a slew of speculation over the possibility of UFOs frequenting North Carolina’s barrier islands. According to a report from the Charlotte Observer, Photographer Wes Snyder posted a 2-minute video on YouTube Feb. 18th, stating it was created from a three-hour time-lapse of the Milky Way — as seen from Frisco’s famous flying-saucer shaped “Futuro” home.

However, more was revealed to Snyder once he began compiling the photos into a video.  “I seemed to have captured some strange unidentified red trails,” he posted on YouTube. “Can you tell me what these are? … These appeared for about 30 minutes during my 3-hour time-lapse.”  Wes Snyder claims he has yet to receive a sound explanation or even a good guess of what he has captured on video.

“I think it’s someone illegally flying a drone at night, but it’s anyone’s guess,” Snyder said in a Facebook post. “It wasn’t a plane, it moved in way too (of a) chaotic pattern to be a plane.” Snyder has stated that his video was created entirely from photos taken Sept 23, which took him months to compile into a video.  Snyder’s video has received thousands of views, and was even featured on the syndicated TV show “Just This Minute,” which said the mysterious lights “seem to fit the real definition of unidentified flying objects.”

“See those little squiggly lines running through his time-lapse?” the show’s host Nick Calderone asked. “Planes don’t fly like that.”  Apparently, There have been multiple reports of unidentified objects flying over the Outer Banks, including an October incident in which a man recorded a fleet of lights over the Pamlico Sound. Some speculated it was the U.S. military conducting exercises.
