Fascinating and unusual light patterns—can anyone shed some light on this?

I spotted some rapidly blinking lights above the mountains that slowly moved across the horizon. Any ideas about what this could be? Do you think it looks like two different objects blinking in sync, or could it be one object with multiple lights?
That sounds intriguing! Rapidly blinking lights can often lead to a lot of speculation. Based on your description, it could possibly be a few different things:
Drones: Drones are becoming increasingly common and often have lights that blink. If there are multiple drones flying in formation, it could appear as though there are multiple lights synchronizing their patterns.
Aircraft: If the lights are high in the sky, they might belong to an aircraft. Many planes have navigation lights that blink, and some might even have specific patterns based on their flight.
Astronomical Phenomena: Sometimes, unusual atmospheric conditions or celestial events can create optical effects that might resemble blinking lights.
Ground-based Light Sources: If the lights are localized to the mountains, they could be coming from vehicles or installations on the ground.
UFOs: If you prefer a more mysterious explanation, some people might suggest unidentified flying objects, especially if the lights behave in a way that’s not typical for conventional aircraft.
If you have more details about the nature of the lights (color, speed, patterns), it could help narrow it down further!
