A Campbell River residentsa国际传媒檚 video, shot in May of flickering lights over the water off the city, garnered speculation about a possible Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

Dean Berg, who shot the video of the flickering lights for approximately 45 minutes from his balcony at Heronsa国际传媒檚 Landing, was shocked by what he saw while shooting the video.

sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檇 never seen anything like it again,sa国际传媒� said Berg when speaking to the Mirror about his footage.

However, it appears that the lights Berg saw on may 29 have a simple, straightforward explanation: night kites.

A variation on the box kite, a night kite has been outfitted with ultra lite LED lights which allow hobbyists to fly at night in style.

Rebecca Williams of Nanaimo, says her husband, Neil, was the individual flying the kites along the seaside during that night in May when Berg recorded his footage.

sa国际传媒淗e was in Campbell River for a few days,sa国际传媒� Williams said of Neil, who works as a crane operator. sa国际传媒淚f he goes out of town, he will take his many kites with him. He was on the beach flying.sa国际传媒�

Williams says her and her husband have flown night kites for at least 15 years.

Bergsa国际传媒檚 reaction to the explanation that it was kites, not extraterrestrials, was one of essential disbelief.
