The skies over Richmond, Virginia looked very ominous Wednesday night.  That’s why Erica Skiddle and her mom took some pictures, but after looking closer they couldn’t believe what they captured.

It looks like a cluster of lights hovering in the sky.

Erica told our sister station, WTRV, she was leaving a department store at the Southpark Mall with her sister and mother around 6:30 p.m. when they noticed the “weird and ominous” sky.

“My mom and I took several pictures of the sky and while we began looking through our pictures, I noticed in one of mine that there was something,” Skiddle wrote the TV station in an email.  ”I had no flash in, nor a filter.”

“And my mom looked through hers and also saw she had whatever it was in one of hers,” she added.

Here’s more photos Erica send out on twitter:
