That didn't look like the northern lights to me.

Wut?!?! MR has gone all skeptic on us and is channeling JamesR, Dave and Mick West??
(I agree though... So were there any other reports in the Canuckistani media about this?)
In my routine checking on the latest UAP videos on Youtube and FB I'm seeing more and more realistic videos that seem real but are really fakes. It's probably due to the increasing power of AI to generate these fakes. But one thing that stands out is that they're almost always hollywoodish and TOO good. So I check on them being mentioned elsewhere like on Google and usually they're not. Not saying there can't ever be really good UAP videos. I have in fact posted many of them. It's just that if they are authentic they would be all over the internet. And unfortunately they tend not to be.

And an India news article about it:
Mysterious, multicoloured lights illuminate sky in Canada’s Vancouver
https://indianexpress.com/article/trendi...o-9947423/
EXCERPTS: A new video of mysterious lights illuminating the skies in Canada has set the Internet abuzz. According to the viral post, the lights were visible in Vancouver. The video, which garnered nearly 2 million views, sparked a range of reactions. [...] “With what drones are capable of doing, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are just drones,” another user commented...
There's a Facebook entry dating back four days ago with the same "
What is going on in Canada, Vancouver" logo, but with different stuff. The opening scene of a "floating robot" is so sloppy it could be old school video editing, or fit right in as a scene from a 1970s or 1980s "Doctor Who" episode.

So this doesn't even qualify as drones or anything real that gets misidentified. Poor AI generation, if even that.

I'm inclined to agree, Mick...er, CC.
