A video made on August 17 by Alan Rondon, in São Gonçalo, Brazil shows a strange bright glowing object, floating in the sky, releasing light "orbs.
A video has been posted on YouTube by Fabricio Bullerjahn showing a small, white object flying across the camera view at an extremely fast speed.

Fabricio says "Filming on 08/08/2021 17h, in the city of Vera Cruz / RS Unidentified object passes close to drone in straight path."
According to an aviation incident report posted on 11 August 2021, both a Canadian military and a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight “reported seeing a bright green flying object” that “flew into a cloud, then disappeared” over the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, in a stretch of open water between Quebec and Newfoundland.

The Canadian military plane may have been travelling to Europe as part of a mission to bring Afghan personnel to Canada. Data posted to Twitter by aviation and shipping researcher Steffan Watkins suggests the Canadian flight even changed course and altitude at the time of the sighting, which might actually have occurred on July 31.
The Canadian military and KLM airlines did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the July 30 UFO report in CADORS. Nor did Nav Canada, the private company that operates Canada’s air traffic control system and whose employees would have received the initial reports. In all statements relating to its aviation reporting system, Transport Canada cautions the “reports contain preliminary, unconfirmed data, which can be subject to change.”
A YouTube video from Diego Santos has been posted showing a glowing object floating over Mooca District of São Paulo, Brazil, on 8 August 2021.
If it weren't for the shape of the object, this could be explained by a Chinese lantern dropping some burning fuel. It may of course be an unusually shaped lantern, possible designed to provoke a UFO sighting!
A commentator rightly asks "Why would anyone stop recording if a UFO, potentially an Alien Space Craft was doing that in front of them?"
A witness says he filmed a strange fast-moving object on his security CCTV camera over Isla Cristina, Andalucía, Spain, August 2021. The sighting has been reported to MUFON.
Analysis
This could be an aircraft, but where are the strobe lights? Probably too fast for a satellite. Possibly a bird or insect caught in the security IR lamp?
A new paper published in Nature magazine entitled "Exploring nine simultaneously occurring transients on April 12th 1950" describes an anomalous astro-photography image taken in 1950 that shows 9 bright objects that weren't there on another photograph of the same section of sky 30 minutes later.
2 images taken 30 minutes apart in 1950. First image shows 9 anomalies (marked with green circles, purple are scanning defects) not present on the 2nd image. Paper postulates that the anomalies are possibly due to atom bomb contamination or temporary objects in geostationary orbit before the human spaceflight era
One of the most important tools available to astronomers are surveys. Astronomical surveys of the night sky. These surveys involve photographing an entire section of the night sky with telescopes for general use, rather than aiming the telescope at anything in particular.
Several astronomers were recently looking at some photographs from one such survey, the National Geographic Society – Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (NGS-POSS), for the first time.
Glass plate photography was the gold standard up until 1998-2000 when CCD sensors finally became advanced enough to supplant them. These photographic glass plates required long exposures - 30 minutes each.
The NGS-POSS was exposing plates in pairs. One plate sensitive to red light, then a second one of the same spot of the sky 30 minutes later, this one sensitive to blue light. Put them together, and you get most of the color information about the light.
This meant that this survey actually had two photographs of each section of the sky it covered, taken 30 minutes apart. This was why our intrepid astronomers, the heros of this story, were looking through these plates. They were looking for anything that could be seen on one plate, but not the other. A transient. Often such transients are nothing interesting, or some form of contamination of the plate, occasionally someone sneezed too close to one, that kind of thing.
But sometimes, a transient would represent something truly interesting. Many discoveries in astronomy have been the result of looking through surveys for such transients.
The astronomers had only just begun their search when they came across something that was utterly astonishing. Something that had never once been seen in the entire history of the field of astronomy.
They found 9 transients that were visible on a red plate, only to have vanished just 30 minutes later on the blue plate. Transients are usually found in isolation, or occasionally 2 at once. But never 9. Surely this had to be contamination. This was their first guess.
And it was also the first thing they ended up ruling out. They have a lot of experience identifying the various types of contamination that sometimes befall these plates, but no known form of contamination could have produced these transients.
Even more interestingly, these transients were dots. Points. Remember, these are long exposures and the earth is rotating. This elongates stars or any other distant objects into smears, short little lines in the direction of rotation.
The paper authors came to 2 conclusions;
1) the objects were due to radioactive particles, possible from atom bomb tests. Kodak has experience of such contamination on photographic films in the late 40's and 50's, so this is possible as this video elucidates.
However, radioactive contamination would surely affect other plates as well. Also, the light wouldn’t be right and there were no atom bomb tests in 1950 anyway.
2) these are reflections off of unnatural objects intentionally placed into geostationary orbit around Earth years before we had the capability to do so.
