Several luminous UAP were recorded over the Los Angeles area at approximately 11:00 PM PDT on 23 June 2026.

The witness was walking in the Larchmont area of Los Angeles when several lights were noticed to the north. The lights initially appeared stationary, prompting the witness to begin recording. During the observation, they noticed apparent colour changes and subsequently saw the lights moving very slowly, seemingly following one another in a circular pattern. After another minute or two, the lights reportedly disappeared at approximately the same time.

The witness stated that they attempted to walk to a different position in order to view the lights from another angle. Based on the observer's position and viewing direction, the witness estimated that they might have been somewhere around Hollywood Forever Cemetery or farther north. The witness stated that they were looking approximately north, generally toward the Hollywood Sign but somewhat farther west.

Importantly, Hollywood Forever Cemetery should not be regarded as the established location of the UAP. It was simply the witness's estimate based on line of sight. No triangulation, measured distance, altitude or precise position for the lights has been established from the available material.

No untouched camera-original file with intact device metadata has been located publicly. The recording device, native resolution, frame rate and original bitrate remain unknown.

The available footage also does not provide sufficient information to determine the actual distance, altitude, physical size or precise location of the lights.

Overall, this remains a useful first-person UAP recording with identifiable source attribution, a stated observer area, viewing direction, date and approximate time, Its principal limitations are the absence of the untouched camera-original file and the lack of positional data needed to reconstruct the objects' actual locations and trajectories.

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.

This is not a recent recording. It dates from late 2024 and is now nearly two years old. Nevertheless, it remains well worth revisiting because of the unusual clarity of the footage, the sustained observation and the comparatively distinct arrangement of lights visible as the object passes through the frame.

The recording captures a remarkably clear triangular-looking UAP moving across the night sky near Parque Barigüi in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, on 15 December 2024 at approximately 8:00 PM.

The camera operator has never been publicly identified. According to Paraná Drone, the footage was submitted directly by one of its followers, who requested complete anonymity. Brazilian outlet Ovniologia subsequently contacted Paraná Drone and reported receiving the original footage that had been supplied by the witness.

The earliest traceable first-generation source is Paraná Drone, which had received the footage directly from the anonymous witness and had it in public circulation by 17 December 2024.

There are important limitations to the case. The witness did not provide further identifying information, the exact viewing direction is unknown, and no original-file metadata has been made publicly available. Conventional possibilities including an aircraft or an illuminated drone have subsequently been suggested, but neither has been conclusively demonstrated from the available evidence.

For that reason, the object should remain classified simply as a UAP, rather than being attributed to any specific type of craft.

This is not a recent recording. It dates from late December 2024. Nevertheless, it's worth revisiting because of the unusual nature of the object captured in the footage. Almost translucent and biological than structured, some may cautiously suggest "plasmoid" in appearance. This term/description being brought into the public arena by David Grusch on 9 June 2026 at the UAP press conference on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, Washington, D.C. During the Q&A, a Real America's Voice reporter asked David Grusch essentially how many different species he was aware of, referring to reports of types such as "Greys" and "Nordics." David Grusch's response: "I certainly don't have the compendium. It's a continuum from corporeal bipedal type life to what I would consider as sentient plasmoid life…"

The only location information supplied Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. No neighbourhood, precise filming position, direction of view, altitude, distance or other geographical details are given.

No definitive conventional identification is provided in the source. The uploader's own wording leaves open several possibilities, including a UAP or drone, and the absence of a verified capture time, precise location and original file currently prevents any meaningful terrestrial correlation.

First uploaded to 'X' 17 December 2024. Which gives this its first public distribution point so far collated, but the original witness, camera operator, filming date and first-generation source remain unidentified.

A striking nighttime recording shows a small group of bright lights in the sky over Salto, São Paulo, Brazil, reportedly filmed at approximately 2:46 a.m. on 2 August 2026.

The witness/camera operator recorded the footage using a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Those same details, Salto-SP, 2 August 2026, 2:46 a.m. and Galaxy S25 Ultra, are also embedded directly in the surviving video copy.

The attached recording runs for 39 seconds and shows several bright lights against a dark night sky. At certain moments, their arrangement appears roughly triangular, but the available footage does not clearly resolve the outline or surface of a single solid triangular object. For that reason, the safest description is an apparently triangular configuration of lights rather than a confirmed triangular craft.

No definitive conventional identification has been established. Possible conventional explanations include a distant aircraft or a drone. Without the original-resolution device file, precise viewing direction, full observation duration or independent second-angle footage, it is not possible to determine.

A woman living in Ramat Poleg, Netanya, reportedly spent a period of several weeks repeatedly observing and recording unusual luminous UAP from the balcony of her home.

The witness has not been publicly identified by name, but according to Israeli researcher and "It's Aliens Bro" creator Alon Pdut, she contacted him and supplied a number of recordings showing the objects appearing in the night sky above or beyond Ramat Poleg.

The English translation for the embedded Hebrew text reads:

"For the past month, a woman from Netanya has been filming mysterious balls of light from her balcony in Ramat Poleg and sending the recordings to me. Listen! What on earth is happening in Israel?!"

"Another blue UFO with a white [light] — keep watching!"

Rather than describing a single isolated sighting, the material appears to document a series of observations made by the same witness from essentially the same fixed viewing location. Alon Pdut stated in material published in late July 2026 that she had already been recording the phenomenon for approximately a month, which would place at least some of her reported observations during late June and July 2026. Exact dates and times for the individual recordings, however, have not been independently established.

In the footage, the witness records bright points of light visible against the night sky. Several appear simultaneously in some sequences. Their apparent movement and changing positions prompted the witness to continue documenting what she was seeing on subsequent occasions.

The repeated nature of her observations is arguably the most significant aspect of the case. She was not simply recording a light that happened to pass overhead on one evening; according to the account accompanying the footage, she continued seeing and filming similar objects from her balcony over an extended period and forwarded those recordings to Pdut.

At present, however, the publicly available videos are not known to be the witness's untouched original phone files. The established provenance therefore runs from the unnamed Ramat Poleg resident, who reportedly filmed the sightings, to Alon Pdut, who subsequently published and discussed the material through @itsaliensbro. The original files and their metadata have not been made publicly available.

This prevents important details such as the precise recording dates and times, camera orientation, original resolution and location metadata from being independently verified.

There is also currently no confirmed identification for the lights. Aircraft operating along recurring routes, drones, military activity, satellites and bright astronomical objects remain possibilities that should be examined. Exact timestamps and viewing directions would be particularly valuable for testing those explanations.

What makes this case worth preserving is the reported consistency of the witness account: the same woman, observing from the same residential location, repeatedly recording similar luminous UAP over a period of weeks rather than during a single chance encounter.

Until the witness's original recordings and metadata become available, the sightings are best regarded as unresolved witness-supplied UAP footage with moderate provenance, rather than confirmed anomalous activity.

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.

This witness-supplied footage was reportedly recorded from Lewiston, Niagara County, New York, on the night of 17 August 2026, and shows a bright UAP visible against the night sky.

The sighting occurred at 9:19 PM EDT, while the witness's accompanying account places it at approximately 9:20 PM. The witness stated that the video was recorded from atop the gorge in Lewiston while looking approximately north, in the direction of Lake Ontario.

The witness described a single UAP as a sphere, approximately pea-sized at arm's length, with movement described as "hovering, floating around, circular." They reported seeing no identifiable wings, rotors or exhaust plume and hearing no associated noise. The witness estimated that it remained visible for around a minute before disappearing, with 47 seconds captured on video.

The source provenance is unusually strong for a social-media UAP recording. The submitted MOV is defined as an "Original device recording" and classed as "untouched as uploaded." Technical information extracted from the file identifies an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, recording at 3840 × 2160 (4K), 24 fps, with H.264 video, AAC stereo audio and an average video bitrate of approximately 22.8 Mbps. The original MOV is approximately 129.8 MB.

There is, however, an important unresolved discrepancy concerning the exact filming time. The witness reports approximately 9:19-9:20 PM EDT on 17 August, whereas the original MOV contains a capture timestamp of 2026-08-18T02:56:17Z. Because Lewiston was observing Eastern Daylight Time, this converts to 10:56:17 PM EDT on 17 August 2026, approximately 1 hour 37 minutes later than the reported sighting time.

Therefore, 17 August 2026 is the correct local date of the sighting under either timestamp, but the precise filming time should presently be regarded as unresolved.

A conventional aircraft explanation has been raised as one possible explanation, with Air Canada Rouge flight ROU1676/AC1676, given as the object filmed. The suggestion that an aircraft travelling toward the observer could appear nearly stationary while its bright forward-facing lights remained directed toward the camera before subsequently becoming less visible.

ADS-B Exchange historical replay associated with this proposed explanation was given as "evidence", however, publicly accessible flight-history sources currently provide conflicting information concerning the exact timing and aircraft assignment for AC1676 on 17 August. For that reason, ROU1676 should be treated as only a "plausible but unconfirmed" aircraft hypothesis rather than an established identification of the object in the video.

The sighting archive additionally notes several Starlink satellites calculated to have been in the broader sky around 01:04–01:07 UTC. This information provides potentially relevant sky context but does not, on its own, establish that Starlink produced the object recorded by the witness.

Overall, this is a first-generation, witness-supplied 4K recording with strong source provenance. Its interpretation remains uncertain, with a conventional aircraft explanation deserving serious consideration, while the unresolved difference between the witness-reported time and the MOV's embedded timestamp prevents a confident reconstruction of the object's position against contemporaneous air traffic.

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.

"Colombia, 18 January 2026"

The following piece of daylight footage shows a small, highly reflective UAP and was recorded during a retreat on 18 January 2026 in Jericó, Antioquia, Colombia.

The recording shows a bright reflective object seemingly motionless in the clear blue sky, while several people watch and react. Contemporary Colombian reporting states that the footage was recorded by a family, although the individual camera operator has not been publicly identified.

The witnesses themselves describe the object as apparently changing shape and mention what they perceive as a small yellowish sphere around or associated with it.

Their reaction is particularly unusual. The family can be heard expressing gratitude toward the object and repeatedly using the phrase “Solin Sala Ra,” apparently interpreting the observation through a spiritual or contact-related perspective. Their interpretation forms part of the witness record but does not establish what the object actually was.

The apparent changes in shape should also be treated cautiously. The target occupies relatively few pixels and is viewed using substantial digital zoom. Camera movement, focus changes, rotation of a reflective object and sunlight can therefore dramatically change its apparent outline. Contemporary analysis likewise noted that the object alternately appears spherical and angular as the camera struggles to resolve it.

At present, however, no definitive identification has been established. The original camera file and metadata have not been recovered, viewing direction, distance, altitude and local wind conditions have not been 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.

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.

During the early hours of Sunday, 15 February 2026, an unusual dark spherical object was captured crossing the night sky by Webcams de México's east-facing camera at the Torre Latinoamericana in Mexico City, Mexico.

The recording carries an embedded camera timestamp beginning at 04:18:08 and ending at approximately 04:19:04, meaning the original event shown spans roughly 56 seconds.

The circulating video itself lasts only around 27 seconds because, as Webcams de México explicitly stated when publishing the footage, it was presented at twice normal speed.

The object first appears as a very small dark feature against the sky before travelling steadily on a diagonal path toward the left side of the image. As it progresses across the camera's field of view, its apparent size increases considerably.

At several points its silhouette appears approximately rounded, but the resolution and compression are insufficient to establish that it is genuinely spherical.

No obvious lights, exhaust plume or contrail are visible.

Technical examination of the attached copy shows a 1280×720 H.264 recording at 29.97 fps, lasting approximately 27 seconds. Although the file contains an AAC stereo audio stream, that track is effectively silent, so there is no usable acoustic evidence indicating whether the object produced engine, rotor or other noise.

Because this is footage from a single fixed camera, the object's distance from the camera is unknown. Consequently, its true physical dimensions, altitude and speed cannot reliably be calculated from the recording alone.

The apparent increase in the object's size is noteworthy, but does not establish that a large object was physically approaching the Torre Latinoamericana; the same effect could occur if a considerably smaller object passed relatively close to the camera.

No abrupt acceleration, instantaneous change of direction, stationary hover, disappearance or other unambiguous extraordinary flight characteristic can be established from the available footage.

As of the information presently available, no authoritative identification of the object has been located.

The footage documents a real, unidentified object moving through the field of view of a known Webcams de México camera, with unusually good documentation of the camera location, viewing direction, date and time. What the recording does not establish is the object's distance, size, altitude or nature.

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.

A striking orange luminous object was recorded over Ocean City, Maryland, USA, at approximately 9:23 p.m. EDT on Saturday, 15 August 2026, by Kyle Vidmar, who posts as u/SysBadmin on Reddit and @sysbadm1n on X. The footage has unusually strong provenance for a circulating UAP video: Kyle Vidmar identifies himself as the camera operator, provides a precise location and time, and posted the same sighting through his established social-media accounts.

Kyle Vidmar states that he filmed the object on an iPhone from a fifth-floor balcony on 59th Street, looking south down Coastal Highway. He noticed a bright orange object near a building he estimated at roughly 20 storeys tall and followed it for approximately one minute. He described its appearance as resembling a "ball of fire" that appeared rotating and glowing, and believed it was extremely low and had seemingly approached from the direction of the beach/ocean. These descriptions concern its appearance from his viewing position and should not be treated as independently measured altitude, distance or trajectory.

He estimated the object at approximately 2,000 feet away, based on the building visible in the scene. That figure is specifically his own visual estimate rather than a measured range, and perspective from a single video cannot establish that the luminous object was physically close to the foreground building. He also confirmed that the footage was recorded on an iPhone because he was away on vacation without his usual camera equipment.

There is, however, a very strong conventional explanation that must be considered. At 9:12 p.m. EDT, only about 11 minutes before Kyle Vidmar's stated recording time, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, carrying eight Globalstar satellites on the Globalstar 2-R Launch 1 Mission. The first-stage booster returned to Landing Zone 40 approximately eight minutes after liftoff, while the rocket's upper stage continued through its coast phase.

Crucially, the American Meteor Society subsequently received 40 reports of a conspicuous aerial event from Florida northward through Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Ontario, clustered around approximately 9:18 p.m. EDT. The AMS specifically identifies that event as the Cape Canaveral rocket launch rather than a meteor. Reports included observations from nearby Berlin, Maryland, as well as multiple locations farther north along the East Coast.

The extremely close timing, Kyle Vidmar's southward viewing direction and the large number of contemporaneous East Coast observations make Falcon 9 launch-related activity - potentially the upper stage and/or associated exhaust or illuminated plume, the leading conventional explanation for the Ocean City footage. What cannot currently be established from the available video alone is precisely which component or phase of the launch Kyle Vidmar recorded. A detailed reconstruction of the object's azimuth and elevation against the Falcon 9 flight path would be required for a conclusive identification.

A Chinese or sky lantern has also been suggested because of the orange colour, flickering appearance and apparent brighter area toward the bottom. Kyle Vidmar rejected that interpretation because he felt the object's movement did not resemble a drifting lantern. The lantern explanation therefore remains possible from appearance alone, although the near-simultaneous Falcon 9 launch and widespread East Coast observations provide a considerably stronger contextual match.

Overall assessment: this is authentic first-person witness footage with strong provenance, but the object should not currently be presented only as an unexplained UAP. The 15 August Globalstar Falcon 9 launch is the leading explanation, supported not simply by its 9:12 p.m. launch time but by numerous contemporaneous observations of the launch across the eastern United States. The precise identification of what is visible within Kyle Vidmar's recording nevertheless remains probable rather than conclusively demonstrated from the footage alone.

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.

Presented here is a r/PortalExperiencer community-exclusive compilation of an unusual white tic-tac shaped object that was recorded in the vicinity of wind turbines around Tilarán, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, on 27 July 2026, in footage consistently attributed to local witness and camera operator Marlon Umaña.

Costa Rican astronomy and space-science outlet SKYCR published the case on 1 August 2026.

A separate local publication by TILARAN INFORMA provides a more specific geographical description, identifying the setting as the "área de las eólicas de Tejona" - the wind-turbine area of Tejona. Its accompanying description likewise names Marlon Umaña and states that he captured the white object apparently flying at very low altitude on 27 July 2026.

This local publication is useful because it independently preserves the same witness’s name, recording date and Tejona location attribution. It should not, however, be interpreted as an independent second sighting or second witness: the available evidence indicates that both publications concern the same underlying recording made by Marlon Umaña.

The location is geographically plausible and well established. Tejona is a recognised locality within Tilarán, and the municipality specifically identifies wind-energy installations as a prominent feature of the area. Historical municipal records also document the operation of the Planta Eólica Tejona in the canton. This confirms the broader wind-energy setting, although the available sighting material does not establish exactly which wind installation or individual turbines appear in the footage.

SKYCR further states that the white object appeared not to be affected by the strong winds characteristic of the wind-turbine area. That description is noteworthy, but it should be treated as an observation or interpretation rather than a demonstrated physical property of the object.

At present, there is no publicly established exact filming time, measured distance to the object, altitude, physical size, speed, flight path, contemporaneous wind measurement at the object's position, or original-camera metadata. Without those measurements, it is not possible to determine from the footage alone whether the object was actually resisting the wind or even whether it was as close to the turbines as perspective might suggest.

Later SKYCR social-media posts went further and suggested that the object appeared to contain a spiral-like central structure or apparent rotation. That interpretation should not presently be treated as a confirmed physical characteristic: a small distant target affected by digital zoom, compression, focus and motion blur can display apparent structure that is not necessarily present on the object itself.

The provenance of the case is nevertheless comparatively useful. The camera operator is named, the recording date is consistently given as 27 July 2026, the location is consistently placed in Tilarán, Guanacaste, and the local TILARAN INFORMA publication narrows the claimed setting to the Tejona wind-turbine area. SKYCR founder Homer Dávila also publicly described having been sent a new report concerning something flying close to the wind turbines in Tilarán, supporting the conclusion that SKYCR received the material as a submitted report rather than simply encountering an unattributed viral clip.

What remains missing is equally important. I have not located a verified first-generation public upload made personally by Marlon Umaña, nor an original camera file containing metadata. No independently recorded second video has yet been reliably tied to the same event, and no published analysis presently establishes the object's true size, altitude, distance or speed.

A later derivative post from HERO Paranormal also credits Marlon Umaña and gives the same 27 July 2026 date, while stating that the event occurred near the poster's mother's property in Costa Rica. However, that post links back to the same TILARAN INFORMA video and therefore does not constitute independent corroborating 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.

Multiple residents of Guatemala City, Guatemala, reported and filmed unusual luminous objects or lights moving across the cloudy night sky on Wednesday, 12 August 2026. Local reporting states that sightings were recorded from several areas, particularly around Zone 12 and southern sectors of the capital.

Publinews reported that some of the lights appeared to follow a trajectory, while several residents independently shared recordings of the phenomenon.

The sightings coincided with the 2026 Perseid meteor shower maximum, which occurred during the night of 12 August and the early hours of 13 August.

A separate and potentially significant conventional explanation is powerful event or concert lighting projected onto the low cloud layer. Local observers were already suggesting that the lights could have been tests for an upcoming event, and a major Romeo Santos and Prince Royce concert was scheduled for 13 August at Estadio Cementos Progreso in Guatemala City. However, no statement from the venue, promoter or lighting contractor has yet been located confirming that the lights visible in these particular recordings originated from the concert production.

Atmospheric conditions were well suited to making powerful ground-based lighting highly visible. Insivumeh confirmed extensive convective cloud development over Guatemala City on 12 August, caused by warm temperatures, abundant moisture, atmospheric instability and the passage of easterly wave No. 26.

Current assessment: the videos document a genuine, multi-observer luminous phenomenon over Guatemala City. Event/searchlight illumination of the cloud layer is a credible conventional explanation and fits the circumstances, but it has not been conclusively demonstrated for the specific footage. The Perseid meteor shower coincided with the sightings but should likewise not be presented as a confirmed explanation.

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.

An unusually shaped UAP was filmed at night over Al-Dhulail (also rendered Al-Dhalil or Al-Thaleel), Zarqa Governorate, Jordan, on 15 May 2026.

The precise time at which the recording was made has not been independently established. The longer surviving video itself carries the date "2026.5.15," while Jordanian outlet Khaberni had already published the footage at 23:11 on 15 May 2026. The safest established date is therefore 15 May 2026, with the exact recording time remaining unknown.

The footage shown here (r/PortalExperiencer) is the longer surviving version running at 1 minute 20.39 seconds. It shows the camera operator moving rapidly through what appears to be a residential or industrial area while attempting to keep a pale, irregularly shaped object in view against the night sky. Once the filmer reaches a clearer position, the object appears comparatively slow-moving or almost stationary for portions of the recording. Contemporary Jordanian reporting similarly described it as appearing stationary for a period without obvious movement.

Several people can be heard speaking during the footage, and Arabic-speaking viewers have consistently identified the principal speakers as using an Egyptian Arabic accent. One Egyptian speaker further described it as resembling an accent from southern Egypt, while another considered it characteristic of Egypt's Delta governorates, so the more defensible conclusion is simply that the speech sounds Egyptian rather than Jordanian. This does not by itself establish where the speakers originated or contradict the Jordanian location reported by the local media.

The principal audible statements translate into English as follows:

Approximately 0:08: "Hurry up, man/bro."

Approximately 0:26: "Is that a man or what?"

Approximately 1:04: "Shine the light on it! Shine the light on it! Shine the light on it!"

Approximately 1:18: "Where did it go?"

The Arabic instruction heard near the end is "نوّر عليه" ("nawwar ʿaleih"), meaning "shine a light on it" or "illuminate it." It should not be translated as "it's lighting up." Multiple Arabic speakers independently corrected this point, and a local-media transcript likewise renders the exchange as the witnesses asking for a light to be directed toward the object.

Earlier in the recording, the remark "ده راجل ولا إيه؟" translates naturally as "Is that a man or what?", indicating that at least one of the witnesses thought the object's appearance resembled a human figure. This is a description of what the witness perceived, not evidence that the object actually was humanoid.

The identity of the person operating the camera has not been publicly verified. A Reddit investigator subsequently claimed to have traced the filmer to an Egyptian worker living in Jordan and employed in the Zarqa industrial area, but the filmer's name and original first-person social-media account were never produced in a form that can presently be independently verified. That detail should therefore remain secondary rather than being presented as established provenance.

What is well established is that the footage was circulating through Jordanian sources on 15 May. Khaberni published a copy at 23:11 that evening, while other Jordanian and local accounts also circulated versions identifying the location as Al-Dhulail/Zarqa. One contemporaneous local-media upload is explicitly captioned as people filming something in the sky over the Al-Dhulail area.

The official English spelling used by Jordan's Ministry of Interior is Al-Dhulail, and the Ministry places the area within Zarqa Governorate, which contains a significant industrial zone.

The footage does not show clearly measurable extreme acceleration, instantaneous directional changes or other motion. Equally, no verified identification of the object as a particular balloon, drone, aircraft or other known object has been found. Contemporary Jordanian reporting described it only as a strange or unidentified bright object and did not report an official explanation.

Claims subsequently made that the object was observed by multiple people across northern Jordan between approximately 11 PM and 3 AM have also not been independently substantiated by a corresponding set of separate first-person recordings or named witnesses. That claim should therefore be regarded as unverified secondary information rather than established fact.

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.

On the evening of 23 June 2026, a striking luminous object was observed over the Ja'alan wilayats of South Al Sharqiyah Governorate, Sultanate of Oman, prompting widespread local interest and social-media discussion.

Omani newspaper Wejhatt reported from Ja'alan Bani Bu Ali that numerous citizens and residents observed the object as it passed through the sky and captured the event in both video and photographs. Witnesses told the publication that the object became particularly conspicuous for a brief period before continuing along its path.

The accompanying Wejhatt report, credited to Salem bin Hamad Al-Saadi, was published on 23 June 2026.

The specific camera operator responsible for the video has not been identified, and an original device file with intact metadata has not been traced. It is therefore most accurate to describe this as local-media-published civilian footage, rather than a verified first-generation upload from a named witness.

The video currently circulating contains no audible soundtrack. This should not be taken as evidence that the object itself was silent. Without the original camera file or an identified filmer, it cannot be established whether sound was never recorded, was removed during editing or export, or was absent from the version supplied to the Omani newspaper Wejhatt

At the time of Wejhatt's initial report, residents and social-media users were considering possibilities including a space object, satellite debris or an astronomical phenomenon, while awaiting specialist clarification.

A more specific explanation subsequently emerged. Majid Al-Far'i (ماجد الفرعي), head of the Samad Al-Shan Observatory, stated that what many people across Oman had witnessed was likely a "fireball", an exceptionally bright meteor associated with a small rocky or metallic body entering Earth's atmosphere. He also cautioned that observing such a fireball does not necessarily mean a meteorite reached the ground, since many incoming bodies burn up in the atmosphere. His wording was explicitly probabilistic, "likely" rather than a definitive identification.

The fireball/bright-meteor interpretation therefore currently represents the strongest sourced conventional explanation, but the publicly available Wejhatt footage by itself cannot independently establish the object's precise trajectory, altitude, speed or physical identity. No original camera metadata or recovered material has been identified in the sources examined.

On the night of 9 August 2026, long-time Lake Superior sailor Kari Halker-Saathoff recorded a group of at least four glowing orange orbs appearing to hover together in the night sky over Lake Superior.

The witness reported considerable radio activity during the incident, stating that there had been several sightings across Lake Superior that she and those accompanying her had witnessed and had video of.

The footage has particularly good provenance. The witness has a long-documented history of sailing on Lake Superior, including the Apostle Islands, and on 5 August 2026, only four days before the sighting, she posted that she was sailing in the Apostle Islands. The Apostle Islands are situated in southwestern Lake Superior off northern Wisconsin.

This provides reasonable support for a U.S., and possibly Wisconsin-side, location, but the witness has not publicly provided the vessel's exact position for the night of the sighting. Lake Superior straddles the United States-Canada border, so the precise location should presently remain unconfirmed.

Some later circulation has labelled the event 10 August 2026 and associated it with Michigan. The original Instagram post, however, is dated 9 August 2026, and I have found no primary statement from the witness herself establishing Michigan as the filming location.

One potentially relevant piece of context is that the major multinational military exercise Northern Strike 26-2 was under way in Michigan at the time, involving approximately 9,000 military personnel and extensive air, ground and maritime training. Official military records confirm Northern Strike activity on 9 August, including nighttime maritime operations elsewhere in Michigan.

A military-flare explanation has consequently been suggested. At present, however, there is no evidence directly connecting the lights in the witness’s footage recording with Northern Strike, military aircraft or flare deployments, so this remains only one conventional hypothesis requiring further investigation.

The witness's reference to radio chatter concerning several sightings across Lake Superior is particularly noteworthy, as it raises the possibility that other people on or around the lake observed unusual lights during the same period. No additional recordings have yet been securely matched to this particular incident.

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.

Presented here is a r/PortalExperiencer community-exclusive compilation of two witness-captured recordings featuring an unusually bright, rapidly colour-changing orb UAP that was recorded on two consecutive nights - Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 August 2026, from his rural property/farm in Guayacán, Coto Brus, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica.

The principal witness is identified as Antonio Vega, who reported seeing the phenomenon at approximately the same time on two consecutive nights, approximately 8:30 p.m., and a second person (unidentified), reportedly observed the same phenomenon on another occasion.

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.
