When I was in college, in Library Science, we were supposed to look up a Government Document and write a report on it. (The whole fifth floor of the library was devoted to "gov. docs", which had call letters/numbers totally different than those of the Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress systems.) Who would have known there was a whole government publication devoted to "Earthquake Lights?"
Here's a photo of one taken around the time of the Tsunami that hit Japan in 2011:

I don't know about earth lights in general, but earthquake lights are supposed to linger at ground level, though they can light up clouds overhead. They are often described as "dome-shaped" masses of luminosity, so they'd be great at playing landed flying saucers. Don't think they could shoot around high in the atmosphere.
