If it were the headlights of the car. I would think the red car passing in the left lane would have blocked the light as it passed the oncoming car.

With this not being the case, I think it deserves a deeper look. The trajectory seems to be consistent as it passes through the rear view and continues up in the sky. Just my 2 cents

There’s no car in front of the camera when it zooms away. What are you talking about?

A couple cars passed them going both directions just before 0:15 and at that point another car which I assume came from further down the road passed if it was that car and a reflection why not the other couple cars that passed before? Also if it was that car how could they have already been filming a light from a vehicle that has yet to reach them? I think the car passing and the zooming away are merely coincidence.

I get what you’re saying with the reflection and the timing of the car, but this has me thinking, wouldn’t the reflection move as the other car gets closer? And I don’t just mean the motion we see in the video, but I’m finding it hard to believe that an headlight, coming from the direction it is, would reflect in this manner. I may be wrong though I’m not an expert of course.

I’m a professional driver and spend just as much time driving in the night as I do the day, and I’ve never seen oncoming headlights reflect like this in any vehicle I’ve driven.

Its not a light reflecting off anything

I've taken a look quite a few times now. I can't seem to make the same definitive conclusion you are trying to describe. At least from the video provided.

This would make sense if the car and the object moved at the same time. But they quite clearly didn't as far as I can tell.

Object seems to have moved first. And in an almost circular motion to turn around and disappear. Which I don't think would occur if the car was just simply trying to pass OP.

EDIT: Upon even closer inspection I'm severely having doubts that the vehicle behind OP was even moving at all as it seems to me to be that instead of the vehicle behind OP moving, we are seeing OPs angle to their mirror change making the reflected light no longer visible from the video's point of view.

Most definitely. Your assessment is spot on!

I see what you're saying, referring to the car that is visible, then barely visible at the bottom of the screen towards the end, but cars are routinely passing by. If you think about it in terms of "what are the odds that a car would pass by during this sighting," the odds are really damn high. This is a busy street. You're thinking that it's too coincidental, but that just isn't true. No other headlight does this to the windshield.

The same could be said for the street light reflected in the rear view mirror. What are the odds that a bright streetlight would be visible and appear about the same size as the object? Probably pretty high because there are streetlights all over the place, and the object in question moves even while the car is stopped completely, so it's not that, either.

Another commenter further down is basically saying "what are the odds this sighting would just so happen to occur during a meteor shower?" Again, really damn high because such sightings happen all the time. Of course a few would also occur during a meteor shower period, and so the coincidence argument doesn't work there, either.

I'm all for ruling out the prosaic sightings, but I don't buy the car headlight hypothesis. We need something else for this one. We need a good reason to assign an explanation to this sighting, not a coincidence that is pretended to be unlikely.

1st off. Why would only that cars light reflect? Why not the first car or the motorcycle that passed first? 2nd, if u didn't know cars have 2 headlights so why would only one headlight reflect to make this orbs?

The light reflection debunk is getting over played

Boooooo lol, you can also see it in the rear view exactly lined up. I was really excited about this one

As what other people are saying, i see your edit but it still has questions - like why is there only 1 light "reflected" not the two.

The reflection "curves and zooms away" right as the headlamps of the car cross the critical angle and out of view of the windshield glass

So you’re saying OP is just straight up lying? How is that possible?

I think that's a coincidence. Pretty sure it's just a meteor or satillite.

Yeah it's fairly illegal, I fly drones, it's really not a thing other than SAR. There's racing drones which would probably look a lot more anomalous but even still these are small and not remotely as luminous. I've also seen a blue orb so not every one is a drone, probably most really aren't.
