In recent days, several videos have begun circulating online showing an intriguing phenomenon observed in the skies above the capital of Colombia. According to reports, the phenomenon has occurred for several consecutive days, both at night and during the day.
So far, very little reliable information is available about the situation. However, the recordings show an object — or phenomenon — with a bluish coloration appearing relatively low in the sky, at cloud level.
These sightings have generated a wave of questions and speculation among residents. The prolonged visibility of the object has only deepened the mystery surrounding its nature.
It is noteworthy that the phenomenon displays a bluish hue and emits a considerable amount of light. Additionally, something equally intriguing is the formation of “halos” around it when observed at cloud level.
Halos are rings or circles of light surrounding luminous sources — such as the Sun, the Moon, or headlights — caused by the refraction or diffraction of light through ice crystals in the atmosphere, a natural phenomenon. However, in this particular case, the object does not appear to be something natural producing a natural effect.
Upon analyzing some of the footage, we can see that, besides having an apparently mutable shape, it also seems to split, performing something similar to a “fission,” at least according to what can be observed in one of the videos.
At certain moments, it is not possible to clearly identify the shape of the phenomenon or object, as in one of the videos it appears as a single “luminous rod,” in another it takes on the form of a kind of orb, and in yet another it appears as a cluster of several “rods.”
I believe its real shape may indeed be that of rods, since in one of the more zoomed-in and higher-resolution recordings we can clearly see what seem to be multiple luminous rods grouped together. However, the object, at times, seems to change shape and even multiply.
These observational aspects make the recordings even more intriguing. Could we be witnessing a truly anomalous phenomenon — or something more mundane?
Some initial explanations can be considered in an attempt to rule out an anomalous event. Could it be some type of exotic balloon? A modified drone? An unconventional kite? Well, the way the object manifests in the sky seems to make these possibilities rather unlikely.
Another hypothesis raised is that it could be projected lights, as suggested by a user in a post from the account colombiaoscura_, which shared a video showing the phenomenon on Instagram. According to him, the phenomenon would be caused by “projected lights in La Candelaria.” At this time of year, the historic district of La Candelaria, in Bogotá, offers various light shows and projections as part of its Christmas and holiday programming. The main highlight is Plaza de Bolívar, where immersive shows using advanced technology take place.
Another user suggested that it might be “a professional event light, colloquially called a ‘sky breaker,’ from some show in Bogotá.”
The term “sky breaker” appears in ads and descriptions from event production companies in Bogotá as one of the lighting devices available for rental. In many of these listings, it appears alongside “moving heads,” which are professional lighting fixtures used in concerts, parties, and large events. “Moving heads / sky breakers” typically refer to intelligent moving lights — fixtures capable of directing light beams in different directions, changing colors, creating dynamic effects, and projecting beams that seem to “cut through” the sky or the space above an audience. They are widely used in concerts, festivals, nightclubs, and live performances to create striking visual effects.
However, according to reports, the object has also been seen during the day, which further complicates this explanation.
Regarding the “light cannon” hypothesis, another user responded in the same discussion:
“My question is: if it’s a spotlight or light, why do the clouds block it? If it were that type of light, it would have to be emitting continuously. But when the clouds pass, you only see part of it… draw your own conclusions.”
I believe it is not a light projector, as the characteristics shown in the videos do not match any known lighting equipment.
According to a local news source, aviation or security authorities are expected to break their silence soon to provide a technical explanation and reassure the public. The absence of an official statement continues to fuel speculation, turning the phenomenon into one of the main topics of conversation in the capital.
