NBC 7 San Diego reported that the lights were captured last Tuesday evening by one of the station's photographers, who was in the area covering an unrelated story. The station also received footage from San Diego resident Larry Fox, who said he spotted the lights near the Coronado Bridge while out in his backyard. Fox said the lights were stationary, and therefore unlikely to be caused by a plane or drone.
The station received several other phone calls from witnesses, who said they observed the cluster of lights changing colors (some seeing red, blue, and green) and flashing.
