Hey all – the wife and I were both staying at the WunderLocke Sendling hotel in Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest on September 25th 2024 celebrating our anniversary. I’d like to preface by saying we were both completely sober at the time of this recording as we had already done all of our partying at the festival the previous evening.
This video was recorded on my iPhone14 at 9:43PM facing south towards the alps while standing near the balcony jacuzzi (which is why there is some fogginess/steam rising in the video). The sky was partly cloudy with enough open sky for both stars and planes to be visible. The hotel is located a few kilometers southwest of the Theresienwiese (Oktoberfest fairgrounds), so the festival itself is essentially in the opposite direction of this recording.
I realize with such a large event, spotlights are within the realm of possible explanations for this sighting (if anyone lives in Munich can confirm this 100% for me it would truly be greatly appreciated). However, the speed and unpredictable movements we witnessed by the luminescence in the sky that evening was unlike anything her or I have ever seen.
When I started this recording, whatever we saw appeared to be a solid, horizontal beam of light in the evening sky with no visible signs of ground origin by spotlight, airbase, airport light pollution, or otherwise. After a few moments, the light suddenly zipped up and away southbound behind the clouds – incredibly fast. Only to quickly reappear in a way that seemed to originate from behind the clouds in nearly an instant. The “beam” of luminescence finally divided into 6-8 much fainter lights maintaining a straight, horizontal line in the night sky (The video doesn’t capture this part very well due to low light, but they are slightly visible if you zoom in and look close). This video is the original with no edits or filters. Genuinely curious what everyone’s thoughts are on what this sighting may have been.

You have to admit, it’s a great time for unusual sightings, whether legit or not.
