Terrifying footage of a 'wormhole’ of flashing lights over a reported UFO hotspot island has left scientists baffled.

A clip appears to show fizzling or flashing lights in the skies over Catalina Island off the coast of Southern California. Skies over the island and the wider coastal area have long been the subject of UFO speculation, with a number of reported sighting over the years.

Experienced Air Force pilots have reported alleged UFO sighting in the form of bright lights of objects moving at speeds unachievable for manmade crafts. Last year, captains and a former F-18 pilot reported seeing lights moving in elongated circles or 'race tracks' for hours high in the sky while they flew on routes from Japan and Hawaii.

Now, footage shared by the History Channel shows more lights in the same area, with host Tony Harris explaining some of its background. He tells viewers the clip was captured on July 16, 2021, when a group of scientists was on a week-long expedition near the island, adding: "Shortly before 4am, one of their motion detection cameras in night vision captured this."

A photo then shows a foggy sky, with the upper right-hand corner showing a seemingly clear patch containing a group of lights huddled together. Harris adds: "Researchers don't think they're mere stars." Matthew Szydagis, one of the researchers investigating the phenomenon, calls the still "very strange."

Amid the growing number of sightings over and near Catalina Island, researchers have suggested the possibility of a wormhole - or gateway giving extra-terrestrial life access to earth. Dr. Michio Kaku, a Theoretical Physics professor, argues that the sighting could be a gateway to other worlds.

He added the cluster of lights could belong to a different universe - however he also suggests the lights could be a fallstreak, a phenomenon that forms these sights when water in the clouds suddenly freezes or evaporates, reports The U.S. Sun.

According to The Log, Catalina's official boating and fishing news publication, the earliest sighting near the island was in 1982, when a UFO sighting was reported by a family sailing to Catalina Island on June 15, 1982. In the testimony cited in Mutual UFO Network’s Witness Reporting Database Case 72642, the witness was sailing with his stepfather and mother to Catalina when around 8 p.m. his mother yelled to look over the port side.

The witness said: "I looked and saw a huge lighted object moving fast under the water. It lasts around 5 minutes just going from one side and then the next in a crisscross pattern. We sailed west moving away from it as it moved east. I never told anyone about this nor do we talk about it.

“The object was 50 feet in a circle and bright as more watts then I have ever seen,” the witness said. “… my parents stopped sailing after that summer.”
