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.

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?

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?

"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.

"Dark, Flattened Diamond / Rhomboidal Shaped Object Filmed By Commercial Pilot Over Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico, 27 July 2026"

This 34 second footage is from Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico, it shows an unidentified aerial object passing close to a commercial aircraft, filmed by its pilot using a high-end mobile phone.

Because of the object's reported speed and proximity, the pilot alerted the control tower. The response from Air Traffic Control was that no corresponding radar return was being detected.

No publicly available air-traffic-control recording, radar record, flight documentation or official aviation-authority statement has presently been located that independently confirms the reported exchange. The claim should therefore not be presented as established fact.

Crucially, the identity of the pilot has not been publicly established. No reliable source naming the pilot, identifying the airline, flight number, aircraft registration, route, altitude or exact time of the recording has also been located. An original personal upload directly attributable to the pilot has likewise not presently been located.

The attribution to a commercial pilot is repeated consistently across the available circulation, but until the pilot, airline or original recording can be independently identified, that attribution remains reported rather than independently verified.

Reported camera operator: Unnamed pilot of a Mexican commercial airline

Pilot identity: Not publicly established

Airline: Not established

Flight number: Not established

Aircraft registration/type: Not established

Reported location: Airspace over Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico

Reported recording date: 27 July 2026

Exact recording time: Not established

Recording device: Reported only as a "high-end mobile phone"

Tower/radar account: Reported but independently unverified

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: Currently Unknown

"Unidentified Aerial Object Footage Supplied By Anonymous Airline Pilot, Publicly Released 3 June 2026"

This footage had been supplied by an airline pilot who requested that their identity remain undisclosed. The identity of the actual camera operator should therefore be regarded as unconfirmed unless further source traceability emerges.

No reliable information presently identifies the pilot, airline, flight number, aircraft type or registration. Likewise, the actual date, time and geographical location of the recording have not been established. The date of 3 June 2026 refers to the confirmed public circulation of the footage and should not be presented as the date of the sighting.

Other aviation-related UAP videos circulated through Brazilian social media during the same period, including footage attributed to a commercial-aircraft pilot over Colombia and separate reports associated with a flight between Campinas and São Paulo. At present, there is insufficient evidence to establish that either case is the same recording, and their dates and locations should not be attached to this footage.

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: Undisclosed.

"Unidentified Aerial Object Filmed Over Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Krai, Russia -Uploaded 9 August 2026 | Original Witness Upload"

An unidentified aerial object was recorded in footage presented as being from Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Krai, Russia, and uploaded to Instagram on 9 August. The Reel is associated with Gelendzhik, while the uploader's wider Instagram history also contains numerous posts explicitly location-tagged to the resort city.

Instagram dates the original Reel to 9 August 2026.

The publicly available Instagram information does not provide a separate camera-recording timestamp, so 9 August should presently be treated as the confirmed upload date rather than a definitively established filming date.

There is also significant conventional context surrounding the observation. On 8 August, Gelendzhik authorities temporarily closed beaches in Gelendzhik, Kabardinka and Divnomorsk because of a UAV-attack threat and active air-defence operations. The beaches were reopened at approximately 17:05 Moscow time after the immediate UAV threat was lifted.

Civil aviation was also disrupted. Rosaviatsiya introduced additional temporary restrictions on aircraft arrivals and departures at Gelendzhik Airport on the morning of 8 August. Further restrictions were reported at 04:51 on 9 August, before being lifted at approximately 06:53 that morning.

This occurred against a wider backdrop of genuine UAV activity around the Gelendzhik area. On 3 August, a drone incident at Arkhipo-Osipovka, within the Gelendzhik municipality, resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, further demonstrating that unmanned aircraft and air-defence activity were an established reality in the area immediately preceding this upload.

None of this establishes that the object shown in the footage was a drone, nor has the object presently been positively identified. However, given the documented UAV threat, air-defence activity and temporary aviation restrictions immediately around the time of the upload, military or other unmanned aircraft, conventional aviation and associated activity must remain suggested explanations.

Without the original uncompressed device recording, an exact filming time, camera metadata, viewing direction and independent corroborating footage, a reliable identification cannot presently be made. The footage is therefore best classified as an unidentified aerial observation with a traceable original source account and strong Gelendzhik attribution, but with the exact recording time and nature of the object currently unresolved.

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.
