Last week the internet was sent into a spiraling craze over President Trump touching a glowing orb, this week anti-trumpers have been triggered by some red flashing lights appearing to come from inside the White House.
Tom Johnson, a reporter for Orlando-based Fox 35 brought attention to a video from Sunday evening that appears to show some sort of red strobing light coming from inside a room in the White House:
#VIDEO What do you think the flashing lights are in the @WhiteHouse right now? They seem to be inside the 2nd floor residence. #FOX35 pic.twitter.com/37Iga3XQOL

Other Fox affiliates also picked up on the incident:

Some at first suggested the lights were reflections from outside, or an alarm system being tested, or some kind of Secret Service test to look for cameras or spy devices.
@Rottweiler7575 We thought that at first. But there's no indication of the reddish lights on the exterior walls.

@Rottweiler7575 That could be it!

However, the conversation soon devolved into nonsense:
@bubbyandflapo @FOX35Tom @Rottweiler7575 Four sharp shooters on the roof above the windows seem to be looking at something. Ambulance red, police blue, right?

@FOX35Tom @WhiteHouse Theory: Distraction. The Admin is messing with social media. It is a minor light show created in the President's private dining room. pic.twitter.com/9mPF2A8MNX

@FOX35Tom @WhiteHouse 2) They've fixed it so when Trump starts to tweet, lights warn the staff. #WhiteHouseFlashingLights

Either Jared and Ivanka are playing laser tag, or Steve Bannon recited an incantation that opened a portal to hell. https://t.co/eufNmxa0Jc

Of course, naturally the conversation ended up at ‘Muh Russian Conspiracy’:

@FOX35Tom @Fox35News @WhiteHouse Morse code to the Russians will undoubtedly be the @washingtonpost 's conclusion…

Maybe that red flashing light is Jared Kushner's Morse code back channel to the Russians? #OrangeRoom

@FOX35Tom @tomservo10 @WhiteHouse JK. He's probably opened a portal to Hell to talk to his real boss.
