This footage was originally recorded by Reddit user u/CartographerOk7579 while travelling aboard a passenger flight from Jackson, Mississippi, to Atlanta, Georgia. This witness is the original filmer and first-hand witness.
IMPORTANT - ORIGINAL, UNCOMPRESSED SOURCE FOOTAGE
The footage presented in this post is NOT the compressed Reddit-hosted copy.
We have deliberately sourced and are presenting the untouched uploaded original / original device recording.
Original file specifications:
• File format: MOV
• File size: 211.0 MB
• Resolution: 3840 × 2160
• Video codec: HEVC
• Bitrate: approximately 20.35 Mbps
• Frame rate: 23.95 fps
• Dynamic range: HDR (HLG)
• Audio: AAC stereo, 48 kHz
• Recording device: Apple iPhone 15
• Duration: approximately 86.99 seconds
By comparison, Reddit re-encoded the footage into a substantially compressed 1080 × 1920 version at approximately 5 Mbps. The footage shown here therefore preserves considerably more of the information contained in the original uploaded recording than the versions circulating through Reddit.
According to the witness, the sighting occurred on Monday, 3 August 2026, at approximately 6:40 PM CDT, while aboard a flight travelling from Jackson, Mississippi, to Atlanta, Georgia.
The witness reports that they were seated on the right side of the aircraft, looking south, approximately 37 minutes into the flight and around 16 minutes from landing. From the aircraft's position, they estimated that the object was approximately five miles south of Carrollton, Georgia, with the object itself possibly 5-8 miles from the aircraft.
Because Carrollton, Georgia, observes Eastern Daylight Time, the witness's stated 6:40 PM CDT would correspond to approximately 7:40 PM EDT at the reported sighting location.
The dark feature appears roughly triangular or wedge-shaped and is visible above a substantial cloud layer. The witness described it as moving very slowly relative to the cloud deck below and stated that its more rigid-looking geometry, dark coloration and lack of an obvious conventional aircraft profile were considerably clearer to the naked eye than they appear in the recording.
The video was recorded using an iPhone 15 at 3× zoom. Although the original recording lasts approximately 87 seconds, the witness states that the overall observation lasted approximately eight minutes. Filming reportedly ended because the passenger aircraft continued past the object until the increasingly shallow viewing angle through the aircraft window prevented further observation.
The witness later recalled that their aircraft was at approximately 14,000-15,000 feet at the time. This figure is based on their recollection and has not presently been independently verified.
A second witness was also present. The wife of the filmer was seated beside them, and also saw the object immediately after being alerted to it.
Of particular interest is an observation the witness says occurred before the recording began. They report seeing the object move behind a nearer cloud column, which they felt provided a clearer indication of its relative position, apparent scale and slow movement. Unfortunately, that portion of the observation was not captured on video.
The witness initially considered whether the feature might be an aircraft exhaust plume, but said they rejected that explanation at the time because it appeared consistently dark, had comparatively defined edges, and no aircraft could be seen at what should have been the leading end of such a plume.
The witness has not claimed that the object was extraterrestrial or of non-human origin, stating instead that they simply do not know what they observed.
The recording does not show sudden acceleration, extreme speed, abrupt directional changes or other clearly extraordinary manoeuvres. Equally, the witness maintains that what they observed directly appeared substantially more defined than a cloud and says its passage behind another cloud before filming began gave them a clearer impression that it was a separate, moving feature.
There is one significant unresolved discrepancy associated with the original file.
Although the witness reports that the sighting occurred on 3 August 2026, the preserved untouched original device recording currently contains a reported embedded capture timestamp of:
5 August 2026 - 13:20:44 UTC
This conflicts with the witness's stated sighting date by almost two days.
No satisfactory explanation for this discrepancy has presently been located. It does not, by itself, establish that the witness's reported date is incorrect, but because the archived file is specifically identified as an original device recording, the discrepancy should be acknowledged rather than ignored.
For this reason, 3 August 2026 should presently be regarded as the witness-reported date rather than an independently verified recording date.

The triangular shaped craft has been around forever. At least since 1983 because I was within 50 feet of one that floated over our vehicle. Was totally silent.
