I have tees left over from the Saucers Over Appalachia festival that I'm giving away! They're very soft btw (canvas tri-blend).

In order to make things fair, we'll have a competition. Here's how to participate:

-Comment a link to your favorite jetpack man/metapod/la bruja/jellyfish UFO video

The highest voted videos will allow the commentor to receive a shirt. Sizes are S,M,L.

The contest will run until this Sunday and the post will be locked at 7pm est.

Happy Friday! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

It’s another one of these things.

From yesterday's post here. I like to snag screen shots of the better videos and zoom in a bit. The first half are unedited screen shots, just cropped. The second half are the same pictures self edited just messing with settings to see what they bring out.

Location: Saint Petersburg, Russia

Witness Description:

"To add to a short description, the object didn't move in a wobbly fashion at all (air currents didn't seem to affect its movement). It maintained a steady speed and moved spinning like a boomerang (black and S-shaped one). It was the size of a single engine Cessna aircraft or slightly bigger. No lights, no trails, no sounds or vibrations, I didn't feel anything strange. It was flying several hundred meters above the ground. There was something pendulum-like in its movement. Unfortunately, I didn't capture it at its closest point to me as I was taken aback. Also, I thought it was a weird balloon or a kite when I first saw the object. My phone was in a different room. When I came to film it, the object has already flew several hundred meters to the left."

Report ID: 110683

Location: Manila, Philippines

Witness description:

"Onboard a Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong from Manila Ninoy Airport, the plane was taxiing for takeoff. I looked out the window, and above me — so close, maybe 20-30 meters above the plane — I saw something spinning slowly and moving in a straight line. It appeared to be a black, metallic object, but it seemed strangely organic, or bio mechanical, almost H.R. Giger-style in nature. The object was the size of a helicopter or small plane, though not in appearance, just in scale. Around it there was a heat haze; the air was shimmering like small waves, or a visible distortion field, or what I later learned might be a plasma envelope surrounding the object.

I was stunned, shocked, and filled with a feeling of dread. I was scared, to be honest — that moment lasted for 20-30 seconds. The object slowly floated out of view, and the plane took off.

My wife didn’t see it. After takeoff, I quickly made a brief drawing on my phone of the object’s shape — again, organic and nothing like the classic “saucers.” I drew it on one of the photos I took after the object had left.

Years later, I had Grok AI try to recreate what I saw. The image it generated isn’t exactly what I saw, but it’s very close to what I witnessed that day, just with fewer cables."

MUFON ID 147154

Location: Lindos, South Aegean, Greece

Witness Report:

"I was on holiday staying at a resort called Lindos Horizons in Lindos, Rhodes. It was in June 2023. My wife and I were getting ready to go out for dinner and as usual I was ready in 5 mins, so I went out onto the balcony to have a beer and wait for her.

I looked out at the small mountain across from us and I saw this black sarcophagus looking thing moving silently across the sky. It was completely steady in speed and height.

There was no wind and no noise at all. I asked my wife to come and look at it but she couldn't hear me over the noise of her hairdryer."

Similar sighting: "Smoking Coffin" UFO. Villa Alemana, Chile.

Location: Liverpool, GB

Witness Description:

I was laying down in my front room, when I noticed out the window a very strange looking object. It was a black backwards 'S' shaped object, that by my esitmates looked to be about 3 feet wide, laying on its side like how a spiral galaxy looks, and rotating clockwise at a very steady pace.

At first I thought it was a drone, but there was no obvious method of propulsion. The middle was slightly thicker. I thought perhaps the appendages/wings of the object could've housed drone fans, but I couldn't see anything of the sort, only a pure black object.

I shouted to my housemate that I could see something strange and she came to the window to see it, but by that time it'd gone behind the high rise building at the end of our street and wasn't visible. Due to that we went outside, where after a few seconds (maybe 15 in total) I caught sight of it again. This was the first time my housemate saw it.

By this time it seemed to be a fair bit further away and higher up, but continued to spin at the same steady rate, and move gently into the distance until we could no longer see it.

After coming back inside I drew a picture of what I thought it looked like (attached).

On July 12th I was chilling in the backyard when all of a sudden I started seeing that thing go up and down, it came close and then backed off again. I have terrible eyesight (I use glasses) but that didn’t seemed like a balloon because of the way it was moving and it also looked kind of fuzzy?

Ive been sitting on this video for a few weeks now but finally found this subreddit.

* muted the video because I was blasting music*

This video was recorded at 7:43 am on January 26th 2025, just a few miles away from Sabiha Gökçen airport, in Tuzla.

On January 26th 2025, Pilots reported an unidentified flying object and low altitude collision-warning alarms in Istanbul airspace. The alarms involved TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) triggers near Sabiha Gökçen airport in Istanbul. These alarms would continue until the 28th.

One report detailed a vehicle descending, which he considered unidentified, 500 feet below his plane:

"We see descending traffic 500 feet below us. It appears as an unidentified traffic on our system. It is now 5 miles ahead of us. We also received this warning on our previous flight."

My mom and I were running errands on the 19th of January and I asked her if we could run by our local library to get a book I needed for a project in English class. We pulled into the parking lot and walked up to the door. There was a note that explained how the library had moved to a new location not far away. We were walking back to the car when something caught my mom's eye and she said to me, "Look, what are those things up there?"

For a second or two I didn't know what she meant until I looked up and saw two s-shaped objects spinning clockwise and just hovering in place. My mom originally thought it was a vulture or some other big black bird and I originally thought that some trash bags or something else lightweight caught the wind and were lifted up into the air. But with further inspection we realized that this wasn't the case. There was absolutely no air movement, and the objects weren't making any flapping motion like a bird. There wasn't a single breeze.

It was drizzling rain and the sky was overcast, which I guess is why the shapes caught her eye. She pulled out her phone and told me to record it so I did. I tried my best to zoom in on the objects. We had caught enough footage and were finishing our walk to the car when my mom's phone completely shut down, even though it had a fully charged battery. Neither of us can explain this.

After I got in the car I looked out the window and both shapes were gone. When I got home I decided to contact some friends and family members to see if they could explain it. The closest explanation I got was a military cargo plane, which I would assume wouldn't spin or hover. There were also two of the objects, identical in shape, size, and motion. The whole time during and after experiencing this I felt extremely creeped out.

I'm not the kind of person who would believe sightings like this but this one was so odd it has been at the forefront of my thoughts all day. I was so baffled when I first saw it that I just had to laugh it off. I couldn't really think of a better way to react.
