Mysterious lights over Capitol Hill causes UFO panic in DC: ‘It is already happening’

If aliens are looking for signs of intelligent life, they may want to look elsewhere.

An apparent UFO was caught hovering above Capitol Hill this week — sparking concerns that extraterrestrials could soon plan a coup.

The viral snapshot shows four bright lights eerily stationed just several feet above the Statue of Freedom atop the Capitol dome and was reportedly taken by US Air Force veteran and licensed tour guide Dennis Diggins.

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

The picture soon sparked panic on social media — which was further whipped up considering the sighting came just weeks after Congress held a hearing detailing alleged secret government programs that described “alien” spacecraft.

“It is already happening,” wrote one user.

“This is insane!” wrote another.

Although many were worried, others rushed to debunk the purported UFO sighting — with at least one expert theorizing the phenomenon was nothing more than reflections in the night sky.

“The lights at the U.S. Capitol building have been causing ‘UFO sightings’ in the camera lens for decades & decades,” John Greenewald, Jr., a researcher and Ufologist, said on X.

“(Just lens flares, but interesting someone is passing them around, again, and more so interesting people are buying it. New photo, same lens flare ‘phenomenon’.)”

The alleged UFO sighting comes on the heels of the US Senate and House of Representatives hearing from witnesses about an alleged secret catch of retrieval programs, communication with non-human intelligence and government intimidation of whistleblowers.

The hearing came after the Pentagon issued a report in March saying that it had found no evidence of extraterrestrial spacecraft.
