A video posted to YouTube focusing on a number of UFOs hovering above southern California could indicate spacecraft operated by intelligent controllers. Or the footage, which is said to be shot in Palm Springs, could be a very good hoax. But if it isn't a hoax, the movement of the unidentified flying objects is certainly intriguing, to say the least.

The Paranormal Frequency posted the video Feb. 4, noting that an anonymous viewer had sent them the footage. From the post: "He said he was camping in Palm Springs, California and when he woke up and climbed out of his tent he saw 6-10 small UFO's hovering over the mountains. They slowly merged then flew off. He said this was on January 29th, 2015."

The video shows six distinct white orbs that appear to just be floating around above the desert landscape. The videographer then zooms in, which renders the next few moments of footage blurry. But as they pan back out to pull all the objects into frame, it is easy to discern that the orbs are slowly aligning into two groups of three. As they form a line the two trios slowly coalesce into two orbs. Those two then seem to merge, leaving just one orb -- one object that has not gained in size or luminosity with its additions -- in the sky. The lone remaining object then begins to exit frame right, finally just flickering before it disappears altogether.

The video posters ask in the video title if the objects could be UFOs, or spirits, or even some sort of government project, but without further footage or information about the objects, conclusions can be difficult to draw. Unless the images are photoshopped (and they very well could be), the orbs stand as true UFOs, or unidentified flying objects. (Well, objects plural until they merge into one object, that is.) Spirit entities seem a bit farfetched, but who really knows how spirits comport themselves. As for the idea that the glowing dots could be a government project, the very real possibility exists that some experiment involving drones or lighted vehicles was being observed.

But given that the regular groups of UFO enthusiasts and hunters like the guys at the Mutual UFO Network haven't jumped on the video and given it internet time -- and credibility -- suggests that the video just might be a hoax. It might not be, but UFOs putting on a show of what appears to be orchestrated coalescing seems too good to be true. Unless, of course, the objects were actually part of some government project designed to test certain unknown capabilities. If so, we could all be waiting about fifty years for a federal agency to declare, "That was us."
