A visionary from Iowa wrote a report on UFO sightings:

I saw it last night when I came out the back door. I grabbed my phone and recorded it just before it disappeared behind a ridge of clouds. It was very bright, and if it wasn't for poor visibility, I could have gotten more.

Original news

Iowa UFO

I saw this last night as I was stepping out my back door. I grabbed my phone and recorded just before it went behind a bank of clouds. It was very bright, and if it wasn't for poor visibility, I might have gotten more.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Sky Lantern

Sky Lantern (Chinese flashlight, Thai flashlight) - paper flying luminous structure made of rice paper stretched on a light wooden frame, bamboo ring, burner.

Satellite

Ordinary satellites, which often look like single, not very bright luminous dots moving smoothly in the night sky, are quite often mistaken for UFOs. After the Starlink satellites (near-Earth satellite systems developed by SpaceX, in order to create a cheap and high-performance satellite Internet communication channel and technical transmitters for receiving and transmitting signals from earth and orbit) were launched, it became possible to observe groups of satellites (up to 60 pieces) flying one after another.
