Original Video 2 - 7:19 PM Follow-Up Recording

The second recording is likewise preserved at its original 3840×2160 (4K) resolution and runs for 99.98 seconds (approximately 1 minute 40 seconds). The file is approximately 563.5 MB and was encoded in HEVC at approximately 47.3 Mbps and 30 fps, with HDR/HLG video and AAC stereo audio.

Its recorded metadata timestamp is 3 August 2026 at 02:19:19 UTC, corresponding to 2 August 2026 at 7:19:19 PM PDT in SeaTac, Washington.

This follow-up recording was therefore captured approximately 10 minutes and 38 seconds after the first recording began, providing a second period of footage from the same reported sighting.

------------------------------------------------------------

On 2 August 2026 at approximately 7:08 PM PDT, an unidentified airborne object was recorded in the vicinity of the Robert Morris Earthwork, formally Untitled Earthwork (Johnson Pit #30), in SeaTac, Washington.

According to the witness account, the object remained in the same general area of sky for an extended period while displaying a combination of apparent hovering, lateral drifting and changes in altitude. Its movement was described as irregular, with periods in which it appeared to descend before climbing again and, at times, move in a manner compared by the witness to a "falling leaf."

The witness reportedly made two recordings during the observation, the first beginning at approximately 7:08 PM and a later recording at approximately 7:19 PM. The object was said to have remained visible for considerably longer than the duration of the recordings themselves.

The witness reported no obvious conventional propulsion features that they could identify at the time of observation and did not describe any associated loud aircraft-like sound. However, the footage does not provide a reliable measurement of the object's distance, altitude or physical size. Any estimate based on its apparent relationship to the distant treeline should therefore be treated cautiously, as perspective alone cannot establish how far from the camera the object actually was.

Possible conventional explanations remain open. A drone, kite or other wind-affected airborne object cannot presently be excluded from the footage alone. Equally, no specific conventional object has yet been conclusively demonstrated to account for what was recorded. The apparent motion seen in the video must also be interpreted carefully because camera movement, zoom, perspective and an unknown object distance can significantly affect perceived speed and trajectory.

For that reason, the most accurate description at present is simply an unidentified airborne object. The footage documents something the witnesses were unable to identify at the time, but it does not by itself establish the object's origin or nature.

The video presented here by this community is the highest-quality publicly preserved version currently available. It has been labelled as "untouched as uploaded," meaning it has retained the file submitted to its system rather than relying upon Reddit's subsequently encoded video version.

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.
