What the heck is this at 2am?

From my security cam. At first I thought it was a spider but it seems to disappear too quickly with a flash

"Moscow Oblast, Russia, 29 March 2026"

An apparent circular, disc-shaped illuminated UAP moving through the night sky, was filmed in Moscow Oblast, Russia. The 15-second recording was subsequently published by the Russian Telegram channel "Неофициальный Безсонов" (@NeoficialniyBeZsonoV) on 29 March 2026.

The footage was recorded from a wooded/built-up area and shows the camera tracking a distant light through the trees. At several points, small closely spaced lights can be distinguished, but the object's body is not resolved. The rapid handheld camera movement, intervening trees and low-light conditions make its shape, distance, altitude and speed impossible to determine reliably from the recording alone.

According to the accompanying Telegram post, the witness initially suspected that the object might be a new type of drone.

The recording is 15 seconds long, 720 × 1280 and 30 fps. Its file metadata contains a creation timestamp of 29 March 2026 at 15:31:07 UTC, although this cannot safely be treated as the actual filming time because the available file is a Telegram-derived copy rather than the original camera file.

The Russian Telegram channel "Неофициальный Безсонов" subsequently stated that it was a civilian helicopter illuminated at night. But no helicopter model, registration, operator or corresponding flight information was ever provided.

Location: Moscow Oblast, Russia

Viewing direction: Not stated

Date: 29 March 2026; exact capture date not independently established

Time: Capture time not established

The footage is presented for examination and discussion. Viewers are encouraged to consider both anomalous and conventional explanations and reach their own conclusions from the evidence currently available.

Witness/camera operator: Unidentified

"China Betz Sphere Compilation 2026"

These two Chinese-sourced cases are presented together in this r/PortalExperiencer community-exclusive compilation because both feature witness-capture footage of "Betz Spheres". "Betz Sphere" is an informal descriptive comparison based on appearance; it does not establish any connection with the original 1974 Betz sphere case.

Recording One - China

location: Unknown

Capture date: Unknown

Capture time: Unknown

Recording Two - Harbin, Heilongjiang, China, 13 June 2026

Location: Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China

Capture date: 13 June 2026

Capture time: Unknown

The two cases share a broadly similar spherical appearance, but there is currently no evidence demonstrating that they are connected or represent the same type of UAP. The first provides a short genuine motion sequence, while the Harbin case currently has better source-provided location and date information but substantially less evidence from which to assess movement or flight characteristics.

The footage is presented for examination and discussion. Viewers are encouraged to consider both anomalous and conventional explanations and reach their own conclusions from the evidence currently available.

Witness/camera operator: Unidentified

The Old Picture

Found this old photo years later and noticed something sitting in the chair behind my brother. We were the only ones home.
This picture has bothered me for years, and I’m curious what other people see when they look at it.
That’s my little brother in the photo. I think he was around 7 or 8 at the time, and I would’ve been somewhere around 12 or 13. I may be off by a couple years, but this was definitely back in the disposable camera days.
For anyone too young to remember those, you got a set number of pictures, couldn’t see what you’d taken, and had to drop the whole camera off somewhere to have the film developed. Then you waited to find out whether any of your pictures were actually good.
We were latchkey kids, and that afternoon my brother and I were home alone waiting for our mom to get off work. She was going to take us to the store to drop this camera off to be developed, and there were only a few pictures left on the roll. So we decided to use them up.
We took turns taking stupid pictures of each other. Funny faces, weird poses, whatever would make the other person laugh. This was one of them.
When we eventually got the pictures back, I remember this one looking weird. There was obviously something strange going on with the lighting or exposure. But those cheap disposable cameras did weird things all the time. Flashes bounced off things, pictures came out overexposed, you got random streaks and shadows.
Nobody thought much of it.
The picture went into a box with all the other family photos and stayed there for years.
Then, years later, I was moving and going through boxes of old pictures. I found this one and immediately started laughing because of my brother’s face. I remembered exactly what we’d been doing.
And then I looked behind him.
At the chair.
I don’t know how else to describe it, but it looks like there is a person sitting there.
To me, it looks like a woman.
Once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it.
I started trying to figure out what could have caused it. A reflection? Something overlapping because of the film? Some weird trick of the flash?
The problem is that I remember the layout of that room extremely well.
This was a mobile home, so everything was basically arranged in one long, straight space. My brother is standing in the living room looking toward me. I’m taking the picture from the kitchen, which wasn’t really a separate room. The flooring just changed. The kitchen counters and our computer desk were behind me. Because, yes, this was the 90s and of course the family computer lived in the living room.
The table you can see in the picture was right beside that armchair, which sat on the side of the room farthest from the front door.
There wasn’t another person sitting somewhere nearby who could have been reflected into the picture.
More importantly, there wasn’t another person in the house.
It was just my brother and me.
I remember that part clearly because we were specifically waiting for our mom to get home so she could take us to drop off the camera.
I’ve shown this picture to my family. Everyone has stared at it and tried to come up with someone we knew who might resemble whatever is in that chair.
Nobody can.
And there’s one other piece of context that makes this picture creepier to me now.
After my grandfather died, that house always felt… wrong.
Not comforting. Not like Grandpa was hanging around watching over us. Nothing like that.
It felt scary.
My brother and I both had experiences in that house growing up. Mostly feelings that were hard to explain, although there were also a few incidents where things seemed to come off shelves on their own. We never saw an actual person or anything resembling a full-bodied apparition.
At least, I always thought we didn’t.
Those experiences are probably a whole separate post.
I’m not saying this picture is definitely paranormal. I know old film can do bizarre things, especially cheap disposable cameras. There could be a completely normal photographic explanation for it.
But I also can’t explain why the weirdness in this particular photo looks so much like someone sitting naturally in that chair.
And I especially can’t explain why, to me, it looks like a woman I don’t recognize.
So I’m curious.
What do you see in the chair behind my brother?

Wierd light in the woods.

Still trying to process what was standing in the trees tonight… I was walking near the tree line when I noticed this intense, glowing shape deep in the woods that didn't move like a flashlight or car beam. It almost looked like a silhouette made purely of pure light. Has anyone seen something like this before, or can anyone explain what I just caught on camera?

Tem tido muitos casos de "frotas" assim

Tenho visto muitos registros desse tipo ultimamente. Eu mesmo vi algo parecido em menor quantidade há algumas semanas. Era rápido demais pra ser avião, e não foi um ou outro, mas vários aparecendo em sequência.

O que poderia ser?

"Acorn-Shaped UAP Filmed From Two Viewpoints, Reportedly Over Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico - Source Trail Claims 2018 Origin" (no audio)

The following footage is comprised of two video clips which show a daylight sighting of a dark, distinctly acorn, or bell-shaped object, recorded from two substantially different viewpoints.

Video 1 runs for approximately 39 seconds and shows the object at a distance against a cloud-covered background, with trees, buildings and roadside surroundings visible. The surviving copy contains no audio.

Video 2 runs for approximately 58 seconds and appears to show the same unusually shaped object from another position. Utility lines, roadside vegetation and portions of a vehicle are visible as the camera operator attempts to keep the object in view. The surviving copy contains no audio.

It is important to stress that the absence of audio from these surviving copies does not establish that the original recordings were silent. The videos have passed through multiple generations of online redistribution, and no original camera files have yet been recovered. Audio may therefore have been removed or lost during an earlier edit, conversion or re-upload.

The precise relationship between the two recordings is also unknown. They clearly show substantially different viewpoints, but there is currently no reliable evidence establishing whether they were recorded simultaneously by two separate witnesses, by the same person from different positions, or under some other circumstances.

The footage resurfaced prominently on 14 August 2026 when it was featured by the YouTube channel ThirdPhaseOfMoon in the episode "INSANE BIOLOGICAL UFO!! WHAT THE F$#@K IS HAPPNING 2026"

The footage itself predates its 2026 resurfacing by at least several years. A surviving secondary source published in July 2024 links to copies on X and Imgur and describes the object as an "acorn-shaped" object filmed from two angles. That source states that the first video had originally been uploaded to YouTube in October 2018, but had subsequently been deleted and was unavailable through the web archive.

Crucially, however, the alleged original YouTube upload, its channel, uploader and video ID have not been independently recovered. October 2018 should therefore be treated as a reported provenance claim rather than a confirmed filming date or independently verified original-publication date.

The same 2024 source reports that versions of the footage were labelled as having been filmed over Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico, while at least one circulation instead identified the location as Waimea, Hawaii, USA. No independent geolocation establishing either location has yet been located. Catemaco should consequently be described as the reported location rather than confirmed fact.

What makes the footage particularly interesting is the object's pronounced and apparently structured silhouette, together with the existence of two recordings presenting substantially different perspectives. What is missing is equally significant: the original camera files, authenticated witnesses, a confirmed filming date, reliable geolocation, original unaltered audio and information establishing the object's distance, dimensions or altitude.

Without those elements, the nature of the object cannot presently be determined.

Current status: Unresolved - provenance incomplete.

Reported location: Catemaco, Veracruz, Mexico - unverified.

Alternative location claim: Waimea, Hawaii, USA - unverified.

Claimed earliest publication: YouTube, October 2018 - secondary-source claim; original upload not recovered.

Earliest surviving source trail currently substantiated: July 2024.

Original witness/camera operator: Unknown.

Original uploader/YouTube channel: Unknown.

Audio: No genuine witness or environmental audio has been recovered from the two surviving video copies examined.

The footage is presented for examination and discussion. Viewers are encouraged to consider both anomalous and conventional explanations and reach their own conclusions from the evidence currently available.

Original Source Credit: Unknown.

Spotted a strange colorful orb over the University of Arizona last night

Last night around 9:30–10 PM in Tucson, near the University of Arizona, we noticed a really strange colorful object/orb extremely high in the western sky.

What caught our attention was the way it was moving. It didn’t have a normal straight flight path like a plane or satellite. It would move side to side, up and down, sometimes in an arc, and then suddenly seem to drop lower before moving again. At one point it disappeared and then came back.

It appeared much higher than normal airplane traffic, at least from our perspective, and we watched it for a while with the naked eye. It was visibly colorful, seemed to change in appearance as it moved, and was moving around incredibly fast.

I managed to get several videos, but this photo is actually the closest representation of what it looked like to the naked eye. The videos don’t capture the appearance nearly as well.

This was directly above/near the University of Arizona in Tucson.

I’m familiar with what stars, the Moon, and visible planets look like because I watch and photograph the night sky pretty regularly. This did not look or behave like any star or planet I’ve seen before. Whatever it was, it was something completely unfamiliar to me.

And I don’t want to over-speculate about what’s in the photo, because obviously distance, zoom, and camera distortion can make things look strange. But just describing my personal impression when I saw it, it almost looked like some kind of humanoid-shaped figure or form coming out of, or attached to, some type of moving object. I have absolutely no idea if that’s what it actually was, that’s simply what the shape looked like to me.

Did anyone else in Tucson see this last night? Or does anyone have an idea what it could have been?

The bottom of this lake has never been found

Lagoa Misteriosa - A rope cannot be used to measure the bottom because, based on everything that has been mapped so far, this is a sinkhole (a cave formed by the collapse of its ceiling).

Inside, there are passages and bends that prevent a rope from reaching the deepest point. Underwater drones also cannot explore it, as their signal is lost whenever there is no direct line of communication, with the rock formations blocking the connection. For this reason, only specialized cave divers are able to explore the depths of this cave.
