Hi! I previously posted the video from my phone but the file was compressed and you couldn’t see very much. Some really nice redditors reached out to me & helped stabilize the footage so I’m able to post it again with a clearer view. I’m super excited about this. I’ve been looking up my entire life, waiting to see something with my own eyes and I fully believe it’s finally happened. I’d love to hear what you guys think of this!

Hi guys! I’d like to ask in general how you deal with the knowledge from the UFO scene in your private life. I’ve been involved with the UFO topic for about 10 years now and, for various reasons, I’m convinced not only that we are not alone in the universe, but also that we are constantly being visited by different alien races. Now, as you probably know, whenever you bring up topics like “UFOs” or “ETs” with people who aren’t part of the “bubble,” you’re quickly seen as a top-tier conspiracy theorist. I’ve always been careful about who I “come out” to as a UFO believer. There have even been times at social gatherings when my wife has outed me as a UFO fan, and I’ve then made fun of the whole topic myself just to make sure I don’t give anyone the wrong first impression. So, long story short: how do you handle this? Do you have examples, cases, or interviews you point outsiders to in order to show them that the UFO topic should be taken much more seriously than it usually is in the public discourse? Or do you try not to bring up the subject at all?

If you are tired of UAP secrecy, I have a solution for you: Listen to your neighbor. Treat him with kindness and dignity, and you just may learn something. And then tell others of his story without mincing words and hedging every statement. Like you’re running PR for a government agency. And show your face, and put your name to it, instead of hiding behind anonymity as if you’re some kind of klansman. Some things are more important than your precious reputation, which wasn’t even that good to begin with. My name is Greg Scaduto, and my socials are in my bio. Happy to chat with anyone else like Kyle who wants their story treated with care. I'll bet my house any skeptics who want to comment sarcastically on this will not tell me their names, nor will they have a zoom call, look me in the eye, and tell me this story doesn't deserve to be told. That in and of itself, tells me who you are.

At Fort Worth Army Air Field, Brigadier General Roger Ramey, holding a telegram, inspects UFO debris brought back from the Roswell, New Mexico UFO incident on July 8 1947. Many believe that the debris with Roger Ramey is not the actual debris from the Roswell crash, and that the government was hiding the real debris from a crashed alien saucer. Later, the government said that the reason for the cover up was to conceal the secret Project Mogul, which was tasked with detecting Soviet nuclear explosions using high altitude balloons and dummies. Do you believe that the Roswell incident was merely a Project Mogul balloon or a crashed alien spacecraft?

I have three more videos. We use.to share videos like these when internet was free. I want to what's the background of this video.

With a weekly circulation of ~36,000 copies, the newspaper that first reported the Westall flying saucer incident has today reported on a petition that calls for the Australian government to launch an independent inquiry and investigate the case. No explanation has ever been offered by the Australian government as to what was observed in the skies above Westall High School on 6 April 1966.

The Labor Day 1969 UFO Incident allegedly occurred on the night of September 1, 1969, in Berkshire County, Massachusetts when over 250 people allegedly reported witnessing a UFO, according to UFO Park enthusiasts.[1] The incident has been deemed a "significantly historic and true event" by the Great Barrington Historical Society and Massachusetts historians,[2] though other local historians and journalists have expressed doubts.[3] Despite being depicted as the most-seen UFO in the history of Berkshire County, no tangible record of any report made at the time to police or media has ever been found.[4]

I was researching the Trent UFO photographs, and came across [this paper](https://web.archive.org/web/20130819053644/http://www.ipaco.fr/ReportMcMinnville.pdf) which is currently cited on Wikipedia as evidence that "the McMinnville UFO was a model hanging from a thread." There are a lot of issues that I have with this paper. If you dig into it, the authors presume the "model on a string" hypothesis, and their "conclusion" flows directly from this presumption with some fancy measurement and math in between. It doesn't outline any possible results which could falsify this hypothesis, so it's simply unscientific. Possibly by accident, though, the paper manages to produce some interesting data. If you ignore the presupposed conclusion, the paper has three useful kinematic measurements: 1. The ratio between the diameter of the UFO's base and its distance from the camera is approximately 0.03, but this is a dimensionless ratio that doesn't tell us the size or distance of the object. 2. The object tilts 25° between images 1 and 2 3. The object relatively shifts away from the camera by 11% These pieces of data don't tell us on their own whether the object is relatively small and close to the camera or relatively large and distant, but the third piece of data got me to thinking. The Trent photos look like they were taken on a pretty hazy day. You can see that the low mountains in the background are lighter and a little hazier than the objects in the foreground. This is because of [Rayleigh scattering by atmospheric particles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_perspective#Optics) and, perhaps, theoretically, could be quantified somehow. From that emerges the possibility of a falsifiable hypothesis that could be made about these two photos. If the object is small and relatively close to the camera, an 11% relative change in distance would represent a negligible amount of atmospheric volume. However, if the object is large and relatively distant, an 11% change in distance would represent an appreciable volume of the atmosphere. If an appreciable increase in Rayleigh scattering is found on the object between images 1 and 2 of the Trent UFO, the object is likely large and distant. If only a negligible increase in Rayleigh scattering is found on the object between the two photographs, the UFO is more likely to be small and close. I asked DeepSeek AI to write a python code that could test the hypothesis, and fine-tuned it in Google Colab. My results were: `Image 1 Object ROI: Mean=0.6917, Std Dev=0.1203` `Image 2 Object ROI: Mean=0.7836, Std Dev=0.0346` `Image 1 Background ROI: Mean=0.4610, Std Dev=0.1024` `Image 2 Background ROI: Mean=0.4978, Std Dev=0.1134` `Image 1 Object Contrast: 0.1203, Sharpness: 5.1964` `Image 2 Object Contrast: 0.0346, Sharpness: 6.3144` `Image 1 Background Contrast: 0.1024, Sharpness: 11.7680` `Image 2 Background Contrast: 0.1134, Sharpness: 6.0197` `Object Contrast Change: -71.27%` `Background Contrast Change: 10.64%` `Contrast Difference (Object - Background): -81.91%` `Object Sharpness Change: 21.52%` `Background Sharpness Change: -48.85%` `Sharpness Difference (Object - Background): 70.36%` `Significant increase in scattering for object relative to background.` `Object is likely large and distant (e.g., 1000 feet away).` I'm sure there are issues with the method, but I'd be curious to see if these results could be replicated.

Time: 10:29 pm Location: Keansburg, NJ Not the best video but was steadily tracking the object coming towards me. Object seemed to become very sporadic as it got closer. I stopped panning the camera when the dim star appeared for a reference point and the object appears to head towards outer space. What are your thoughts and opinions on this?

Time: Late 2019 - 3:00 AM\~ Location: Marysville, Washington Hi! I am new to Reddit, and created this account as I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else have witnessed something similar in my area! I don't remember the exact date, but I know it was in the latter months of 2019 when I had my experience. I worked midshift turnover at the time, so I usually went to bed around 4:00 in the morning, and I am a smoker so I sit outside often throughout the day and night. One night / early morning around 3:00, I was sitting out back having a smoke when I began to feel something like a humming or buzzing subtly shaking the ground beneath me. I was confused as I immediately thought it was an earthquake, but I had not felt one like that before and quickly realized it was not anything natural. I didn't really hear any audible noise approaching, it felt like a low humming frequency. I looked up at the sky and saw a solid white light flying over the large tree in my backyard, and then another two following in the shape of a triangle. This object was massive and quiet. As I stared at the lights hovering over me, I realized that it was a solid jet black craft. It was blocking out the moonlight and the stars while it passed over. It moved steadily west toward the Puget Sound. I wanted to pull out my phone to take a recording, but I realized that it would have been out of sight by the time I could've opened the app, so I stood in the middle of my yard and tried to memorize every detail while I could. It was hard to estimate the size since there wasn't much to reference it on when it comes to scale, but I can confidently say this was exponentially larger than any aircraft I've ever seen, and moving in a very unnatural way and extremely low altitude as it silently hovered forward. It passed over my house and within moments it was no longer visible and the low humming was gone. My first thought was that this had to have been some sort of military craft and we were being invaded. I began to panic. Taking a moment to rationalize and process what I witnessed I ruled that out as unlikely and began to think it might be of extraterrestrial origin. This thing was unbelievably huge and I thought it was some sort of mothership I guess. My panic arose again as those thoughts flooded my mind and I braced for some sort of horrible attack or general chaos. Nothing ever happened though. It was gone and I never heard anything of it again and life went on. In the years following I have leaned toward this being some sort of experimental military craft. I live next to multiple naval bases so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a test flight of a stealth craft. Some things don't add up for me though. Why would it be flying over residential suburban neighborhoods in the dead of night? Where would a craft of that size even be stored? These questions have bothered me to no end and I greatly regret not capturing any footage of what I saw. For years I have searched on the internet for anyone in my area who might have witnessed what I saw as well, with no luck. I have found footage of similar crafts in different states and different years, but nothing that perfectly matches what I saw that night. I guess ultimately I just wanted to share this with any that might be interested or who might know more about this specific type of sighting. And if I was to find someone who could give me any ideas of what might have happened, or even had their own experiences in my area, that would be really cool to me! Anyway, thank you for reading what I had to post here. And I apologize for and improper grammar or if I am failing to follow some etiquette here. I am new to posting anything so forgive me if that is the case.

This video was take by me as well from the same spot as my previous post. I’ve seen these countless nights and I have more footage I will be posting through out the days. I had to figure out a way to make it bright and have a clear video. So I screen recorded my camera adjusting to the night sky. As you can see I am fast forwarding through the video just speed it up because the speed isn’t the issue here it’s the amount of them and why so constant through out the nights. If anybody has answers for me or tag anybody that can. 🛸💫

Date: December 27, 2024 Time: 9:31pm Location Fresno Ca I was at work doing security when I looked up and noticed this red orb hovering in the sky! I thought it was out of the norm so I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and recorded it! I am not knowing what it was exactly I just know it was out of the Norm? Feedback is welcome?

Well, if I've learned anything from watching the last 2 UAP hearings, and according to George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, the hearings are a dog and pony show. According to Jeremy Cowbell's own statements on Weaponized, he appears to have played a significant role in introducing witnesses to legislators to consider having in the hearing. They mentioned a lot of the scientists, and others, from the legacy programs with hands on experience, signed their soul to USG under those NDAs. We the public would love to have the best firsthand witnesses speak, but they'll possibly go to jail. There's a process whistle-blowers have jump thru legally, with reporting "waste of taxpayer funds or wrong doing" to the inspector general's office. If they skip these internal steps first and exhaust that option, and just whistle-blow to Congress, they run the risk of not complying with their NDAs. Despite the hearings being a dog and pony show, not having the best first hand witnesses, they're necessary. They move the subject forward, and will draw attention to it. I highly suspect, and Jeremy Cowbell has alluded to it, that if Congress doesn't do some serious lifting on the UAP topic with passage of either UAP Disclosure Act of 2025, or UAP Transparency Act, there may be something closer to catastrophic disclosure. It sounds like there are already recorded interviews waiting to be aired depending on how things go with Congress. Part of me wants to see USG maintain a competitive advantage against countries that want to harm us, and have controls in place against highly explosive energy sources. ZPE is alleged to be achievable in a garage, with some physics skills, and a resulting energy source could produce a large explosion. I get why you'd want to control that info. There's another part of me that is like well, they've killed people to keep shit quiet, so go ahead and do catastrophic disclosure. Congress has a 2nd chance to get ahead of it with setting rules in place for an organized release. If Congress wants to fuck up their opportunity again, it's like go ahead and move on to option B, catastrophic disclosure.

My partner and I had an incredibly uneasy experience at around 9:10pm on August 29th. We were sitting by our campfire near boya lake chatting away when this what looks liked a ball zoomed through our campsite faster and different than anything we’ve seen before. We had a lit view circumference of about 100 feet surrounding us. It was level, staying at about 6 feet off the ground and moved with such speed it made my partner gasp. I did not stop, flap, or make any animal like movements/ sounds. It was through and out our LOS without stopping in less than a second, but both my partner and I saw it. She cried, and it really freaked me out. We tried to think calmly and clearly, so my partner wrote down what we saw immediately. Here is the note: Unidentified flying object seen by both M & I at Boya Lake - was something unexplainable, dark object flew through our campsite, travelling levelly from one end to another. The object was symmetrical and may have had some sort of wings or antennae but did not swoop or flap, and shot through our lines of sight without stopping or wavering, despite a number of large trees and shrubs in the area. It travelled fast, and by the time I turned my head towards the forest where it was travelling the object was gone. M heard object travelling fast, turned head and saw ball like object maybe with wings travelling level and fast, by the time he turned head, the object had travelled out of eye shot. I want to also say my partner is a wildlife biologist in the north of Canada and I am an educated professional studying my PhD. I have been in some scary situations with animals in the north, but I never have thought I’d have an experience like this, proper fear.

I came across the recently 'leaked' video of the 2013 SOAR Night Stalker UAP incident (originally posted on Instagram by beyondtheradar: [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOAIbUVEZCK/?igsh=MTRsZDZpeWoybzE1dA%3D%3D](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOAIbUVEZCK/?igsh=MTRsZDZpeWoybzE1dA%3D%3D)) and decided to stabilize it to get a clearer look at whatever's going on. The original footage is pretty shaky, but after stabilization, the camera movement stands out more, it pans smoothly as if the operator is actively tracking an object. If this were CGI added to blank footage, the panning feels off for an empty scene: it really seems like something was there drawing attention. Note: There's heavy compression in the source video, which might explain some artifacts. For context, here's a related post on UFOB discussing the alleged classified leak: [https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOB/comments/1n5cd0r/alleged\_classified\_leak\_source\_ig/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOB/comments/1n5cd0r/alleged_classified_leak_source_ig/)

Time: Monday, December 9, 2024 at 8:22 PM Location: Phoenix, Arizona I captured a short video in Phoenix, Arizona at night. The object appeared to spin or reflect light as it moved silently across the sky. There was no engine noise, no wings, and no visible propellers. Curious about what it might be, I ran the footage through a series of AI enhancements and analyses: • Frame Extraction & Enhancement: Pulled stills from the video, zoomed in, boosted contrast, and sharpened the frames. The object consistently appeared smooth and geometric. • Shape Analysis: Edge detection and circle/cigar fitting revealed the object wasn’t irregular like a balloon. In most frames, it had a 2:1 aspect ratio, suggesting an elongated, tic-tac-like form. • Motion Analysis: Differences between frames showed the object moved as a single stable unit—not drifting erratically like debris. It also didn’t leave trails or smears typical of camera artifacts. • Spectral-like Processing: By isolating RGB channels, boosting faint detail with contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE), and applying false-color maps, subtle highlights appeared to shift along the surface. This supported the impression of rotation or a reflective surface. • Outlines & Artistic Rendering: Automated outlines confirmed its elongation. Since video stabilization was tricky in the dark, I had an artistic rendering made to represent what it likely looked like: a smooth, glowing tic-tac/cigar-shaped object in the night sky. What it isn’t (likely): • Drone: No sound, no rotor halo, no blinking lights. • Balloon: Didn’t tumble or distort, held a clean geometric shape. • Lens Artifact: It moved across the sky relative to background stars, not stuck in the same place like a camera flare. What it could be: At the very least, this qualifies as a UAP—an unidentified aerial phenomenon. Its silence, smooth elongated form, consistent motion, and spinning reflection all line up more with the “tic-tac” UAPs described in Navy encounters than with everyday explanations. My question to the community: Has anyone else in Arizona seen similar silent, spinning, elongated objects recently? Could this be a military test craft, or is it something more unusual?

Time: August 30th, 6:45 PM Location: 10km from Schiphol Airport Netherlands Me and 2 friends witnessed a formation of multiple objects in the sky. This location is a no-fly zone for drones and is even subject to jamming, which makes the sighting even more bizarre. The lights were visible for only minute and was hard to focus my camera because of the excitement. I have checked FlightRadar24, but there was absolutely no information on these at that time except some commerical aircrafts. The objects were glowing spheres, emitting a distinct blue and white light. They moved in a deliberate formation, not like typical aircraft or birds. 5 minutes before the sky was clear and I think they wouldnt be visable then. The contrast of the cloud made them visable. I have already reached out to Dutch Air Traffic Control (LVNL) for more information. I'll update this post if they provide any details.

Great to see the Dandenong Star Journal cover the current petition that calls on the Australian government to investigate the Westall case of 6 April 1966. The Dandenong Journal was the first news publication to report on the Westall flying saucer incident way back on 14 April 1966.

I am wondering if there is an accepted theory as to so few mass sightings? If aliens are among us why wouldn’t they just hover over a city or a sporting event. It just seems like 99% of the sightings are individual. Where I feel like even the phoenix lights type sightings are the anomaly but that doesn’t follow probabilities.

3:13 am on august 28th in Bathurst NB , Canada The highest building in our city is roughly 100-150feet MAXIMUM and this thing is above the bay possibly over the ocean … so it’s definatly flying and the light was a lot brighter but less foggy in person… it should have made my eyes squint or at least water but I could stare right into it as if it were done other technology of light… the phone was making it seem dimmer and harder to see the exact light shape …

I had a childhood memory of my mom telling her friends about a strange event she had the night before. She was telling them how she and 3 other friends had been walking home at around 11pm down a deserted road. All 4 of them told about a spherical object that had floated over the road some 200 meters ahead of them just a few feet over the road. They described how the object traveled down the road in the same direction they were walking, and how they were pretty scared and were just waiting for it to go away. Eventually, they said, it crossed the road and disappeared into a neighborhood yard. This happened around 1976. Last May, I went to visit my mom. Sitting in her living room, I opened this subreddit and saw a post about orbs. It reminded me of that story. I asked her if she remembered. I wasn’t expecting her to say anything. It had been almost 50 years after all. When I asked, she lit up! Like she had been waiting to talk about it for a long time. She told me that she was coming back from a bingo night and was walking home. About 1/4 mile from home, they saw a white sphere that she compared to a gym ball. She told me that the 4 friends were scared but decided that if the object had bad intentions it would probably be following them, not leading them. She told me that the sighting had lasted for about 10 minutes and that this event had a very profound effect on her life. I 100% believe she had this experience whether it’s prosaic or something else. My mom saw a fucking ORB!
