(Sept. 10) -- Were they UFOs or ordinary street lamps? That's the question being raised after Wednesday night's spectacular, record-breaking lightning storm over Hong Kong.

Just within the first hour after midnight on Thursday, the Hong Kong Observatory recorded 13,102 lightning strikes around Hong Kong.

According to Radio Television Hong Kong, or RTHK, the observatory received many calls from people claiming to see UFOs during the fierce storm near the Tai Lam Tunnel and in the Wanchai and Happy Valley districts of the city.

The observatory said the UFO reports were most likely street lamps. Meanwhile, the chairwoman of the Hong Kong UFO Club, Moon Fong, confirmed that UFO sightings were reported on their website.
The Observatory assumed the UFOs were misidentified street lamps, according to an observatory scientific officer, W.C. Woo.

Whether they were street lights or not, it's not the first time UFOs have been reported or even photographed during intense storms. Maybe they need a free burst of electrical energy provided by the lightning bolts.

Or maybe they're just street lamps.
