Initial data
An eyewitness from Muntendam reports:
2 bluish-white balls, many hiding behind clouds. Sometimes you could see them, and they would fly away at speed, then he would disappear and come back again. It is very strange to see!
Original news
MUNTENDAM, GR — 2 blauwige/witte bollen die zich veel verschuilden achter de wolken. Soms zichtbaar en schoten ze met snelheid weg, dan was het weer weg en kwam het weer terug. Heel vreemd om te zien!
Hypotheses
Light sources on clouds
Lasers, searchlights, car headlights and other light sources of sufficient power can form a column of light in a dusty or foggy atmosphere, various patterns on low clouds, fog or haze. Also, the rays can highlight parts of the cloud, objects or birds, giving them bizarre shapes.
Searchlights can shine with one beam, several. They can be stationary, move, and also form spinning carousels on the clouds, which can change shape and color.
It often seems that the light source is located at the point where the beam hits the cloud, and not vice versa.
The lights of cranes, pipes and skyscrapers
Most often, this category can be attributed to the lights of a crane, high-rise buildings, boiler pipes, etc., equipped with nighttime lighting that is visible through the haze, fog, or when the color match between the support and the color of the surrounding space.
For unexplained may be taken accidentally or deliberately issued when shooting photos and video. A feature of the lights of a construction crane (in contrast to the street lights) is the movement of the boom, which is a light source.
Investigation
Based on the description of an eyewitness, it is most likely that these are the rays of searchlights reflected on low clouds.
