The viral snapshot shows four bright lights eerily stationed just several feet above the Statue of Freedom atop the Capitol dome.

After viral photos of gleaming lights above the US Capitol building went viral sparking speculation about Unidentified flying objects (UFOs), a former paranormal investigator explained the reason behind the phenomenon.

Another video taken from further away seemingly confirmed the phenomenon—the same four twinkling lights maneuvered from a square to a single line but remained above the government building.

An alleged UFO sighting over Capitol Hill has again drawn attention to the rising reports of unexplained phenomena.
