A masterful piece of debunking here from Phil Poling (ParaBreakdown on YouTube, who mostly looks at Big Foot videos):
Basically a sailboat's lights left some streaks on a few long exposures, and Crowe thought it was a UFO. Poling demonstrates it's just a boat. You can even make out the mast and rigging.
