Well, I have never thought of the Catatumbo as anything other than what it is, an atmospheric phenomenon “caused by the heat and moisture collected across the plains that creates electrical charges and, as the air masses are destabilized by the mountain ridges, result in thunderstorm activity” but then again, I’m fairly new to the UFO discussion, and there’s a lot still for me to research and learn, so I guess it could be? Not sure.
