Maybe Barron is practicing for a merit badge...?

3. Red Batphone from the Kremlin calling

Secret back channel telemarketer offering a great rate on loans...

[Pachamama]

39. +1000

[panfluteman]

42. My Favorite!

4. The comments on some Twitter accounts are witty, but this is still disturbing.

The Internet is abuzz about the lights which lasted for about twenty minutes during the 8:00 o'clock hour last evening.

I failed in my attempt to add to this post a link to a particular Twitter account containing witty comments.

However, this event, when seen "in light" of the other bizarre events of this administration, gives me pause in enjoying the humor in those Twitter comments.

[Mr. Evil]

5. Does that mean Melania is working?

[SergeStorms]

12. Bingo!

We have a winner! And for a bunch of tight assed, sexually repressed Republicans the light would probably BE flashing on and off at that exact speed.

[Scarsdale]

13. Maybe

Rumor has it their divorce papers were set to be signed, when he asked he to stick with him until after the election. He thought it would look better to run as a "married, family values" candidate. Never thinking he would "win" she stayed. No wonder she looks unhappy all the time. I hope the bonus she got for that is worth it.

36. Today's winner is

[Warpy]

6. Looks like the reflection of a light on an ambulance or fire truck

or that might be the room where they placed their portal to hell so they could receive their instructions nightly.

[forgotmylogin]

29. They *thought* messing with that orb wouldn't be dangerous...

[NBachers]

7. Radiation from that fissionable material they're sending to Saudi Arabia in exchange for the

hundred million dollar contribution to their slush fund.

Or maybe it's the lizard aliens disintegrating White House staffers after creating more reptilian humanoids to replace them. The project is close to completion.

[not fooled]

8. Scrofulous Steve

hosting an occult ritual meant to deconstruct the administrative state in one fell swoop? Or sticking pins in dolls of Macron? Or exorcising any European culture dump might have inadvertently picked up over there (no, I don't think any rubbed off on him, either, more's the pity)?

[Doug the Dem]

9. Trump is Hosting Satan for Dinner

Just to make sure that their pact is still in effect.

[Lint Head]

10. Trump has the glowing orb out again. He's fascinated with

shiny playthings.

[spinbaby]

11. Cure for Alzheimer's?

[Scarsdale]

14. tRump is too far gone

for that to help. Maybe it is Vlad, calling on a "secure line"??

[SergeStorms]

15. So they're.....

trying to reduce the levels of amyloid plaques in the brains of the mice living in Trump's head? Who knew?

Moe, Larry, cheese!

[secondwind]

16. Sounds plausible. How weird is it that

we are talking about flashing red lights in the White House and a POTUS with possible early Alzheimer's??

[WePurrsevere]

17. Odd. It looks like it's in the Lincoln Bedroom & sitting room...

[yuiyoshida]

18. Lincoln's Ghost trying to send out the

BAT SIGNAL?

[WePurrsevere]

20. Lol! Makes as much, if not more, sense...

As some of the other hypotheses I've seen.

[k8conant]

21. No...the Dining Room and Kitchen...

The video is looking south towards the White House so the rooms where the lights are flashing are on the NW corner (upper left in the floor plan).

Maybe a steak being cremated?

[WePurrsevere]

22. Oh... You're right. I got it flipped around. Thank you.

There are other dining rooms and kitchens in the WH so maybe they're using that dining room as something else? I can't see the Trumps cooking for themselves really.

[Cdn519]

32. Take another look

You're basing that off of the South Lawn view, with the oval in the front. The red lights are seen from the North Lawn view. So the lights would be from the kitchen and dining room. You can't see the oval or the Truman balcony from that video.

[WePurrsevere]

37. You missed it but someone had already....

Pointed that out in a previous reply to my comment. Thank you though and welcome to DU.

[Old Crow]

45. No, the dining room and kitchen.

You're looking at the wrong side of the the diagram. The video shows the red lights flashing in windows at the front of the White House, not the rear.

[WePurrsevere]

47. Thank you. I know that I goofed. If you look at the other replies...

you'll see that I've already been corrected and acknowledged my error... a time or two.

19. Best Little White House in Texas

[n2doc]

23. Jawa

Probably scavenging stuff from Trump's rooms

[shenmue]

27. Haaaaaaa

[Equinox Moon]

24. It's a treatment for trump's ADHD

[FailureToCommunicate]

25. Trump had one too many scoops of ice creme? Reflections of ambulance flashing lights

outside for sure. But why was an ambulance there after dinnertime? Gotta be Trump's indulgences.

[Thekaspervote]

26. The aliens have come.. They recognize the real threat 45 is to the survival of the planet

Yeah!!! A permanent alien abduction cannot come too soon

[SummerSnow]

28. It's him...

[tiptonic]

30. Looks like

Looks like alarm lights. trump must have gotten out of his padded cell again.

[RKP5637]

31. He's pulling stuff off the walls and selling it to collectors, the alarms went off! n/t

[MiniMe]

33. Is it Morse code? Maybe saying Help Me or something similiar

[paleotn]

34. Sauron calling?

[Sedona]

35. Fire Alarm in kitchen?

[heaven05]

38. Satanic ritual?

I hope.

[ChazInAz]

40. Oh, no!

He's activated the Interociter!

[SaveOurDemocracy]

41. Must be Lotus*.

*Lucifer of the United States ...

'Supernatural' viewers will understand.

46. It was the reflection of strobes from emergency vehicles across the street.

According to the New York Post: "But a spokesperson for the Secret Service solved the mystery Monday and confirmed the lights were a reflection from emergency vehicles responding to a medical incident outside the White House campus."
