With Florida ranking high in UFO sightings, astronomers ask what's up there?

MIAMI - Social media has been showcasing bizarre lights around South Florida.

According to the National UFO Reporting Center, Florida is ranked 2nd in the country for UFO sightings.

So, what's really going on up there?

"I just like looking up and saying oh wow," said Steve Luxenberg.

Steve Luxenberg is the president of the South Florida Amature Astronomers Association in Sunrise.

Every Saturday, he and hundreds of others bring out their telescopes to look at the starry night sky.

He says, strange lights happen all the time, but most of the time, they can rule out Martians.

"Satellites, the International Space Station, weather balloons, we've seen weather balloons numerous times," he said.
