Video is being passed around as a UFO or "Mystical Light" sighting over Chelmsford, UK, or in some cases "Hawaii".
Are the lights special effects added in post production or faked in other ways?

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not clear what exactly you are skeptical of, and could be considered an opinion question.– Larian LeQuellaSep 11, 2015 at 2:06

It's very unconvincing. The Essex chronicle, commenting on a better copy, dated a year later, interviewed Mark Pickering, certainly a relevant expert, on the subject:
Like all these videos, it's not shot professionally and when it zooms in the size of the orbs changes perspective. It's all things that are very easy to do on a computer. I have put a UFO on a music video myself and this one is no better than that.
Students in the technology department can do it quite easily and it's definitely inconclusive. That's my verdict.

Here is one Youtube video commenter claiming that the pixelation of the objects and background differs. But this claim is not substantiated with numbers or screenshots, and I doubt that you can accurately distinguish pixellation on a video of Youtube quality.– user22865Jun 10, 2015 at 11:18

How can a 'better copy' turn up one year later?– user22865Jun 10, 2015 at 11:21
