A recent Reddit video post has shown what looks like multiple flashing objects, floating towards the ground in Yreka, CA, USA 3 February 2021.
The witness states "I watched it for a few minutes before I started recording, thought it was balloons at first, once I saw them going up and down decided it was something else and pulled my phone out, after I stopped recording a 2nd set of light came in and they were flying in close proximity then the first set went on the other side of the hill and didn't come back as the 2nd set flew off to the left"

Whilst the witness is concentrating on the objects along the sky-line, more objects can be seen in the bottom right-hand corner of the video, amongst the trees.
One commentator says "it's along the side of steep terrain. Going up and down doesn't rule out balloons. They get caught in thermals and bob around. Paragliders use thermals along mountain ridges to get nice long flights. Birds use them too."
Whilst another comments "This is a really weird one... I want to say it's caused by the reflection of something, maybe mylar balloons. But rewatching this a couple times, I'm sort of doubting that's what this is. Even though the movement itself certainly behaves like balloon following an air current, the way they "flicker" in and out, how rapid and electric it seems, has left me sort of dumbfounded"

Analysis
The objects do look metallic, perhaps rotating with reflected sunlight causing the flashes. Their motion is reminiscent of balloons floating to the ground.
Conclusion
Perhaps they are several metallic helium balloons, released from a party, finally coming back to the ground? What do you think?
