This sighting occurred on June 21, 2021 over Junagadh, Gujarat; here’s the news report as well as a news article about the event. The general public did not receive any official explanation for the event, the most they got was a statement from an advisor for the Gujarat Council of Science and Technology, stating that the lights in the sky “could be satellites passing through low orbit - nothing to worry about”. According to the Immaculate Constellation report, spheres/orbs are the most common UAP morphology recorded. The “stepping” motion seen in the video looks similar to this UAP, and there have been many reports of UAPs ejecting other objects or splitting up into smaller objects.

This video was filmed on May 4, 2023 in Cwmavon, Wales, UK. According to the Immaculate Constellation report, spheres/orbs are the most common UAP morphology recorded; the exact shape of the objects in this video is unclear, however, orbs are regularly seen operating in tandem, forming geometric patterns.

This video was filmed in New Mexico on March 12, 2023. According to the Immaculate Constellation report, spheres/orbs are the most common UAP morphology recorded.

This video was filmed in Thatcher, Arizona on February 25, 2026 at 6:19 PM. The UAP in this video closely matches videos from one of the recent batches of USG declassified videos (specifically batch 3). This UAP appears to move in a sequential “stepping” pattern across the sky. Interestingly, the same USG video appears to show this UAP releasing smaller orbs. According to the Immaculate Constellation report, spheres/orbs are the most common UAP morphology recorded.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share something I've experienced recently and see if anyone here has witnessed anything similar because I've spent quite a bit of time searching online and haven't found anything that really matches what I saw

For some context, I watch the sky almost every night and I'm also pretty interested in the hemi-sync tapes and the idea of consciousness playing some role in contact experiences

One night around midnight, the sky was completely clear. I was looking out over the sea near my home when I suddenly noticed a bright orange light moving incredibly fast from west to east. I've lived here long enough to recognize the usual flight paths, and I see planes passing through that same area every day. Whatever this was it looked nothing like them

It was moving at an extraordinary speed, almost leaving a glowing trail behind it. From my perspective, it seemed to cover roughly 10 kilometers in just a few seconds. I immediately thought of the orbs I'd been reading about, especially since I'd been interested in initiating some kind of contact myself. Unfortunately, by the time I reached for my phone it was already gone

I kept watching the sky, hoping it might come back

About 20 minutes later it actually did

The same orange light appeared along almost exactly the same route, except this time it was moving noticeably slower. Toward the end, it started making these strange up-and-down movements, almost zigzagging through the sky. This time I managed to record it

And then unbelievably, it happened a third time that same night. Again, traveling west to east and I managed to record that one too

But the strangest experience happened a few days later

I was outside watching the sky again when another orangie appeared, thinking same one came back. It was similar in color, but much brighter, larger-looking and initially moving much more slowly

Here's where it gets difficult to explain for me

It almost looked like an enormous glowing bird, with these huge orange wings extending outward and seemingly flapping as it moved. I'm not exaggerating when I say the movement reminded me of a bird flying, except the entire thing appeared to be made of this intense white-orange mixed light

It seemed to disappear into the clouds a few times before suddenly accelerating westward at a fast speed, luckily i managed to record it as well

I've watched the recordings over and over, trying to make sense of it. The closest description I can give is a Gigantic orange bird with glowing, flapping wings. There was something almost angelic about its appearance, although I'm not claiming that's what it was

Has anyone here experienced something similar, particularly an orange light that appeared to have wings or moved almost like a giant bird? Does this description match anything you've encountered or heard about?

I'd genuinely appreciate any thoughts, possible explanations, or similar experiences

Hey everyone, about 3–4 nights ago, I was looking up at the sky when I witnessed something that could’ve been a UAP. It might’ve just been a shooting star, but based on the ones I’ve seen before, this looked different.

The whole thing lasted less than a second. While I was looking at the sky, a line of light suddenly appeared, moved across my field of view really fast, and disappeared. I wasn’t prepared for it, so I didn’t get a picture or video. Honestly, even if I had tried, I don’t think I would’ve been fast enough to capture it.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it, so I asked AI to generate an image based on what I remember seeing.

I have 3 theories:

1. I want to believe 🎶 Maybe it really was a UAP.

2. It was a shooting star.

3. It was some kind of flash in my field of vision, although I’ve never experienced anything like that before.

Has anyone here ever experienced something similar? I’d love to hear your stories!

This video was filmed on April 16, 2023 in Crawley, England. The diamond UAP is commonly reported and falls under the “triangular” morphology of UAP when using the categorization laid out in the Immaculate Constellation report. A red glow is also commonly reported.

What I’m about to share is difficult for me to talk about, but I need to share it; I’ve only told a few people about it.

About a year and a half ago, I spent the night at my grandfather’s house, my mother did as well. It was around 11:00 p.m.; my mother was already asleep, and I was trying to fall asleep but I couldn't. I felt as though I were being watched from the window that faces the backyard—there are many trees there, and nothing else to be seen. Suddenly, I began to feel afraid—intensely, overwhelmingly afraid. I was terrified, my heart racing, and my first thought was, "There’s an extraterrestrial in the yard." My mother remained asleep. Trembling with fear, I peered out into the yard but saw nothing. I then stepped out the front door to smoke a cigarette and calm myself down. I looked up at the clear, open sky, seeing only the moon and the stars. For some reason, as I gazed upward, I said, "Please, I need a sign to know that You exist"—referring to God—"or perhaps You’re connected to the extraterrestrials—I have no idea—just surprise me, but please don't scare me." I stayed outside for about 15 minutes, watching the sky, and... absolutely nothing happened that night. However, when I went back inside, the fear had vanished, and I was able to sleep.

The next day, my grandfather—a very devout Catholic—began to pray in the living room. I wanted to join him, but I didn't know the prayer. The moment I thought about praying with him, a poster fell to the floor. I picked it up; it was a 2014 calendar featuring an image of Jesus and the same very prayer my grandfather was reciting. I took it and prayed along with him. A chill ran through me, but my rational, skeptical mind immediately kicked in, and I told myself, "Nah, it’s just a coincidence; it doesn't mean anything." So, I dismissed it.

That night, I returned home, took a shower, changed my clothes, and went out onto the balcony of my parents' bedroom. They weren't home, but my sister was. I asked her to join me on the balcony to smoke a cigarette. We sat down, and I played some music from my phone—I had the algorithm set to random—when the song "Return to Innocence" by Enigma began to play. I remember saying to my sister, "Look up at the sky; I’m sure we’re going to see something..." She asked, "What? Why?" I replied, "Because the sky is clear... and because I asked for it." Not even a minute had passed when I saw a massive craft in the sky, less than a mile away from me—it was roughly the size of a football field—slowly approaching where we were. It was triangular in shape and completely black, save for a few ring-shaped lights along its outer edge. In its center, there was a milky, blue-colored sphere; it looked like plasma—as if bolts of energy were contained within that section. I began to tremble violently out of sheer terror. I asked my sister, "Are you seeing this?" She was just as frightened, and in a shaky, broken voice, she replied, "Yes, yes—I see it." We were both paralyzed with fear as the object drifted past us—very, very slowly—without making a sound. As it moved away, we watched it blend into the sky and the city lights, effectively camouflaging itself. I kept shaking, unable to process what had just happened; even now, I still find it hard to believe... This has led me to question a number of things. Do we have the power to shape reality? Does this have anything to do with God? And what if this happened because, the night before, an extraterrestrial had actually been watching me? Was it all just a coincidence? Honestly, I don’t know what to think anymore... What do you all think?

I’m open to any possibility—any information you might have... Thank you for reading.

This video was filmed in Southwest Florida on November 28, 2024. There have been many videos showing UAPs “dripping” substances or ejecting other objects, like here and here. Maybe there should be a subreddit should for sightings in this category, serving a similar purpose to r/rustedsatellite ?

I would add multiple flairs to this post if i could, such as UAP sighting, Abduction, and dream state. This post covers multiple topics.

Today I realized that my family, on one side at least has experienced and witnessed NHI phenomena throughout at least 3 generations. These stories have been passed down on the maternal side, and I have listened to firsthand accounts of what they’ve seen.

From what I know, these encounters occurred around the 1950s-1960s, but it is possible they also happened before this time era. I always wondered what my family made of this phenomena, and I always received one or two responses: “we didn’t acknowledge it and kept going about our business, as these events happened so often that it became the norm” or, “we have no idea what it was, and dont wish to know”. My family, generally speaking has been very cautious of bringing this subject up to begin with, for reasons that are puzzling to me.

One account that has stuck with me the most is an encounter that my grandmother and great grandmother had, which was told to me by my grandmother. At the time, they lived in a very rural area with lots of crops, fields, and farms. So the sky had didn’t have any light pollution. It was daytime and they were lounging outside, towards the direction of a crop field. They witnessed a large, pronounced black triangle that flew across the direction of where they were looking. My grandmother, naturally so, questioned what they saw, and my great-grandmother just said that she doesn’t know, and acted as if nothing ever happened. From how my grandmother described it, this was something that was normal to them.

Later in life, they started seeing green orbs of light in the sky with the same attitude of apathy towards the encounter. This specifically only happened at nighttime.

When my mother was born, she recalled to me how she smelled noxious sulfur that had her waking up out of her sleep. My great-grandmother told her to stay inside, ignore it, and or go to bed. But it always, ALWAYS left my mother wondering where it came from, because it would only happen at nighttime. Keep in mind that they are in the same house and neighborhood as when the two previous events occurred throughout my great-grandmothers and grandmothers’ lifetimes.

Around the late 1960s-1970s, my mom recalls multiple mysterious sinkholes that started popping up in the general area of where they were located, and government officials had no answer as to what was happening and why. It was the same “don’t acknowledge it, continue with your business” it seemed for every strange encounter, or experience. This however, is deeply frustrating to me because I get the sense that my great grandmother knew the “why” but refused to say.

My mom throughout her childhood also had dreams of being encased in a white pod and then being transported to different locations across the world. She didn’t understand the purpose of what she was doing, but she felt as though she was being guided by a group of “someone’s”.

And then me. I have had multiple possible NHI encounters. When I was super young, around 4-6 years old. I remember lying down in my bed watching TV, with my parents in the other room. Two “figures” or what I would describe to be silhouettes with green energy framing them, slowly started to appear at the end of my bed. This deeply terrified me because I never saw anything like it before, but the intention I sensed from it felt clinical, like they were observing me for something. I didn’t care, and hid myself under the covers until I felt like they were gone (they weren’t) and it felt like they stayed there for hours, until I fell asleep. This is the only time I ever saw them in my life. It felt like they were satisfied with whatever it was about me at that time, and didn’t need to “check in” ever again. This encounter occurred prior to me knowing about how our family has history with NHI, I only discovered this about 4 years ago, but that memory has stuck with me for my entire life. My heart still drops a little just thinking about it. With the information that was divested to me, I am the only one in these past 3 generations to experience something like this.

My family is also apart of an organization that has acess to governmental, political, and occultic power. For literal centuries my family has been able to form “businesses” that have been used to uplift the specific sect that they belong to, and to contribute to the larger syndicate. I don’t feel comfortable saying the name of this organization, because then that will lead to certain connotations about me as a person, and I am not interested in defending my character just because of those connotations. Even though Im not actively part of that organization, but only related to its bloodline. As soon as I say what organization it is, I know people are going to use that as a way to generalize me as an evil caballer or whatever.

What is deeply frustrating to me is how nobody wants to or refuses to have a serious conversation about any of this. I feel like they know why that happened to me and why each generation has some experience with NHI. I have been on this “enlightenment” journey for about 9 years, starting when I was just 13 years old. Sometimes I feel like an experiment of sorts, because despite my family knowing that NHI are real, some of them participating in that organization still act as if they are conditioned not to say anything. I feel like this has caused a huge setback for me and this journey. Anywho, I would love to hear everyone’s multigenerational NHI experiences 😅

The second video was filmed in September 2016 while traveling from Akhisar, Manisa toward Ayvalık, Balıkesir - the original video upload still exists. The first video was filmed in Irvine, California (date unknown). If anybody has any additional context regarding the first sighting, please share! This UAP matches the irregular-organic category of UAP outlined in the Immaculate Constellation report.

This video was filmed on October 29, 2024 in Fremont, CA. The UAP in this video looks strikingly similar to the famous 40+ minute long UAP video leaked by DHS, filmed by the AZ National Guard on November 23, 2019; here is the full forensic analysis of that video completed by SCU. This UAP matches the irregular-organic category of UAP outlined in the Immaculate Constellation report!

I saw these flashes on the Surfline Jobos cam early this morning and rewinding it the phenomenon was happening from around midnight until 130am local time, this morning 22nd of October.

The radar and satellite images showed clear skies, so these flashes are NOT from lightning as there are no thunderstorms, nor clouds capable of producing lightning around the area at that time. I cannot stress this enough.

Fireworks are highly unlikely as others have suggested as these lights are coming from different points of origin, well offshore after midnight.

I will post the satellite and radar from this time as a reply to show these flashes cannot be lightning, as well as video from the same cam of a confirmed thunderstorm to show how it's these flashes are much different.

Going through my videos of the everyone had me convinced were spotlights. Can anyone explain what that was at the very beginning of the video

This video was filmed near an Iranian Nuclear Facility on June 22, 2025 (local time). According to the Immaculate Constellation report, spheres/orbs are the most common UAP morphology recorded. UAPs are also most often seen near nuclear facilities and sensitive military sites.

I find the subject of consciousness, Non Human Intelligences, Extraterrestrials very interesting.

After having been active in this field for a bit I start to wonder if there are some parties that are gatekeeping NHI contact. Are there individuals or groups here on our planet that are actively preventing normal everyday human beings to reach out to connect to positively aligned NHI?

First it seems to start with the denial and ridicule strategy. So deny and make fun of people that are suggesting normal people can reach out to NHI and connect to them. Call people that even suggest this all kinds of names. In addition these people seem to discount enormous groups of people already having contact with NHI like people in the Experiencers, StarSeeds or Interdimensional NHI group.

Then another step that seems to come up again and again is to suddenly admit that people can connect to NHI but humans really shouldn't do so because it is very dangerous and all these NHI are secretly demons. So instead of denial and ridicule it suddenly switches to fearmongering. And that these people saying it is dangerous somehow know what they are talking about. Even though they never seem to give any concrete information apart from playing on people their fears.

So what is going on here?

I think it has been proven quite clearly with the Gateway Tapes that people that put in the effort systematically bump into connecting to NHI. And if you do that in the way that they propose where you take protection into account and ask to connect to positive NHI people seem to do so.
-) Connect to Non Human Intelligences with the Gateway Experience

Very serious and respected UAP/UFO researchers like Grant Cameron are writing books to show people 84 different contact modalities throughout time and across different cultures.
-) Contact Modalities: The Keys to The Universe – 77+ ways to Connect to Higher Self

There are many Channelers out there on the internet saying they have connected to NHI and are sharing their worldview with those who are willing to listen to them. And people can try out learning to channel for themselves as well.
-) Connect to the Cosmic Internet – Learn how to Channel

So what is happening here? Are there groups actively gatekeeping and preventing normal human beings to reach out to connect to NHI? And if so why would they do this, are they afraid to loose power or influence or?...

Or could it be that the ridicule and fear mongering is something natural that simply pops up from people their own systems that needs to be processed?

I am curious how people here are seeing this. Is there gatekeeping going on around this subject of people connecting to NHI for themselves and if so who might be doing this and why?

The first video was filmed in Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa on March 11, 2024. The second video was filmed in Golden, British Columbia, Canada (date unknown). The final video was filmed in June 2020 by the ship’s captain. This “comma”-shaped UAP fits into the irregular-organic category of UAP outlined in the Immaculate Constellation report.

My friend and I were sitting outside one afternoon and I saw a small bright light traveling across the sky. I have seen odd things but not like that. It actually would have been mundane, except it was just a little stationary light going up and diagonal across the sky

From there, we couldn't entirely tell what happened, but it looked a bit like something colliding with something invisible, and causing it to shimmer/have failures, or sort of exploding, but not really, and traveling up. Imagine you hit something invisible hard and it began shimmering.

I saw a vid the other day of anti drone tech and it was just like what I saw, but I have no idea what this could have been that we saw.

Both that, and the object it hit/its light show felt very physical in nature. Like I was watching something happen. It didn't travel fast as far as I could tell, or else it just took quite some time to traverse the sky.

I am not even necessarily saying this is an unusual phenomenon, but honestly if it is mundane I may be more concerned.

All of this happened from a fairly low altitude.

I wouldn't say this was in an important spot, but I also wouldn't call the area unimportant either as it has police, fire, voting, etc.

It’s a video of an Asian guy (not going to specify what country I think he’s from) but he was like a Tao master or something like that. Running with some sort of wooden sword on his back and there’s another dude behind him recording them both running towards what they seem like an alien or UFO figure. Anyone know what video I’m talking about?
