Intriguing Saucer-shaped object videoed over Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia, July 10, 2021

A Yuotube video taken by John Mario Aguirre Valencia has been posted showing what looks like a classic saucer UFO descending over the town on Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia on  July 10, 2021.


 John says "UFO seen entering Pereira through San Luis, in front of the Pereira city residential complex. I couldn't record much because I was driving, in any case I was able to watch it twice that afternoon. This object goes down to the mountain that is between the neighborhood of the town and the avenida de las americas or south avenue of the city of Pereira. hiding there where we couldn't see him anymore. The approximate time was 4 in the afternoon with 21 minutes."

Student photographs object with bright lights hovering over the sea before "it sped off" near Teignmouth , Devon, UK, June 2021 - UPDATED July 2021

A student says he was left shocked after spotting a large UFO hovering "for ten seconds" over a Devon seafront - before it sped off into the distance. 

 

Photos he took appear to show four bright lights in a triangular-shaped formation lingering in the night's sky.

The mature student said within seconds of taking the pictures, the object sped off into the distance.

Matthew said: "I couldn't help but see it.

"My kitchen window gives a great view of the sea so when it came across the horizon

"It wasn't moving like a plane would.

"It was moving a lot slower and went up and down for a bit before hovering a good ten seconds.

"It stayed in one spot long enough for me to pull out my phone and get those snaps.

"Then it quickly zoomed off at some speed and I couldn't see it anymore.

"The light was really bright."

"I just didn't know what it could be so I decided to take a picture.

"I'm not quite losing my marbles yet.

"But it's hard to place it so I suppose it is an unidentified flying object."


Update

Local photographer Matthew Blythe also took a photograph from the same location looking out to see that night. He used a proper camera, not a phone camera. What he photographed was the moon poking through a gap in the clouds. As we can see, the image is identical to the "UFO" image taken by Mathew Evans.

Conclusion

Moon through a gap in the clouds

Bright disk or cigar shaped object recorded flying erratically over Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, Brazil 29 May 2021

David Smolinski has provided a rather poor video showing a white or bright disk-like object flying in an erratic manner over Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, Goiás, Brazil on 29 May 2021.


David states "object apparently shaped like a glowing disk and it moves quite quickly and looks like it had some sort of trouble in flight and looks like it would crash behind these mountains".


 

Analysis

The video is so poor we cannot make any detail in the object so cannot really say what it is. Intriguing all the same.

Intersting alledged UFO photo taken over the Francisco Madero refinery, Tamps, Mexico, June 2021

According to the Mexican news site, "www.elmanana.com" researchers of the UFO phenomenon in Tamaulipas are investigating the veracity of a photograph recently taken from the Francisco I Madero Refinery golf course. 

 

Roger Bailón, who took the photograph, revealed that prior to the sighting of the object, a storm was approaching in the southern region of the state, so the sky clouded and a wind of about 60 kilometers per hour was registered. 

He noted that the photograph of the Unidentified Flying Object was taken with a conventional cell phone. He said that "it is something very beautiful what it feels like to see an object of this type ... I do not dedicate myself to taking photographs of this type ... It is a good experience". 

He indicates that the photograph has already passed several studies and it has been determined that it is not manipulated. He said that they have already tried to discredit the photograph, however he mentions that it was a strong wind and the object was suspended for several seconds, “it was a figure like Spacy Bader type”. 

He indicates that it is the second time that he has seen strange objects in the sky, as 4 years ago he spotted an object of multiple fluorescent colors, however he could not take evidence of that sighting. 

He pointed out that when he took the photograph, he shared it on social networks, for which, in a matter of a short time, it even transcended internationally, as he points out that he was contacted by the University of Costa Rica, and they have invited him to travel to Europe. 

In addition, researchers from Spain and Querétaro contacted to follow up on this research. Meeting with Marco Cruz, psychologist and UFO researcher from Tamaulipas, the employee of Petróleos Mexicanos, assured that the photograph is legitimate, and surely the image will serve to show life on other planets.

Analysis

The image does look like the sun or sun-lit bright clouds showing through a gap in the storm clouds. The witness, Roger Bailón, does not mention any movement with the object, just that it faded away.

Conclusion - gap in the storm clouds showing the sun or bright, sun-lit coulds behind. 

Spinning-top shaped object recorded floating over Tamasopo, Mexico, June 25, 2021

Inwy Rea has posted a Facebook video showing a  strange, spinning-top shaped object floating over Tamasopo, Mexico, on June 25, 2021.


 Unfortunately, there is no more information.


Analysis

It is unfortunate that we do not have any more information about this sighting - it would add weight to its validity. What happened after the video ended? Is this just a balloon?. It does bare more than a passing similarity to another "ufo" video that was debunked as just a balloon.


 

Conclusion - a balloon

"Tic Tac" shaped object over photographed over Hinckley, Liecestershire, UK before "shooting off in a blink of an eye" 13 June 2021

Lucy Jane Castle, swore she saw the craft matching the description of the USS Nimitz UFO encounter hovering over Leicestershire.

 

She took a photo of the craft before it shot away "in the blink of an eye" last Sunday at 9pm.

The nutritionist, of Hinckley, said: "It was hovering for a while and within a blink of an eye it had gone.

"Never seen anything like this before in that shape. Quickly took a picture while it was very still and within a blink of an eye it disappeared."


She posted the puzzling snap on the UK UFO sightings group on Facebook.

Analysis

In the main 2nd image, the object is so far away that the camera cannot resolve much detail. If you think that the tail and wings occupy less then 1 pixel in the image sensor, they won't appear in the images. The zoomed image would also not show these either.

East Midlands airport (EMA) is to the north of Liecesterchire but this woman said she spotted it in the southwest near Hinckley. Looking at the flightradar data from that time (June 13th 9pm GMT), two flights passed Hinckley, a Wizzair Airbus A320 departing from Birmingham international (BHX) to the south, and a Fedex 757 departing from EMA to the North. However, the flight path of both planes was still quite far from Hinckley itself. There's no military installations in the area, nor any other real points of interest.

Dark diamond shaped object hovers in the sky over Atibaia, interior of São Paulo, Brazil June 2021

A video taken by Mari Barbaroto showing a dark diamond shaped object hovering stationery in the sky has been posted on YouTube by Sergio Tenorio. 

 

Not much is known except it was originally posted on a UFO Facebook group. The incident took place in June 2021 over Atibaia, interior of São Paulo, Brazil.


Interestingly, a similar object was also videoed over São Paulo back in March 2021!

Metallic Diamond-shaped object floats above Anglesey, North Wales, UK on 04 June 2021

YouTuber "John Snow" has posted a video showing a large, metallic diamond shaped object floating over his house on Anglesy, North Wales, UK on 4 June 2021.


John says "This huge diamond shaped craft flew over my house while I was having a smoke outside my front door. It was metallic like polished chrome, about the size of a bus and was completely smooth and had no visible engines or exhaust and was completely silent as it went overhead. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life!"

Saucer shaped object videoed floating over Sarasota, FL USA, 23 May 2021

Youtuber "Football Ian" has posted a video showing a saucer shaped object floating over his house over Sarasota, Florida USA on 23 May 2021.

 

At first glance, it just looks like a balloon floating in the wind, however the object seems to stop and hover in a stationery position towards the end of the video.


Analysis

Some commenters say they think it is a just balloon, with one questioning why the witness stopped taking the video after just 45 seconds - valid questions. We do not se the object slow down and stop, as it is obscured by the awning, and we only see the object again stationery on the other side - slightly suspicious!

Mysterious oval object caught slowly descending from the sky into the sea near Situbondo, Indonesia 21 May 2021

According to news website, detikNews, Masfuk Mubarok videoed a mysterious dark oval shaped object slowly descending from the sky and entering the sea, Friday 21 May 2021 near Situbondo, Indonesia.

 

In the video you can hear the voice of a woman and a child speaking Madurese sayings they don't know what it is as it splashes down. 

Kapolsek Anchor AKP Moh Fauzan confirmed that a mysterious object had fallen in the waters of Situbondo. Fauzan said the sighting of the falling object occurred on Friday (21/5) afternoon before evening. 

"The incident yesterday afternoon. Precisely at Banongan Beach, Wringin Anom Village, Asembagus District," said Fauzan to detikcom, Saturday (22/5/2021). 

However, Fauzan did not know exactly what it was. To be sure, said Fauzan, it was not a UFO, nor was it a hot air balloon. 

The fishermen who were asked for confirmation by the police also did not know what object had fallen in the middle of the waters. "Not a UFO, not a pan (hot air balloon), he said. The fishermen said it was not clear what object it was," said Fauzan.

Dark Saucer-shaped object hovers over Iztapalapa, Mexico City 13 May 2021

Two videos from the same source, YouTuber "Reyes del Rock", show a dark, saucer-shaped object floating over the Avenida Ermita Iztapalapa suburbs of Mexico City on 13 May 2021.


"Reyes del Rock" says "During a meeting, a flying object disturbed several families in Iztapalapa and this was what I captured that afternoon".


 As usual, we do not know what happens to the object after the end of the video.


The object looks eerily similar to an object captured in the same area in May 2012 ....


... and to a more recent object videoed over Japan >>

Saucer shaped dark object hovers over Hachioji, Japan, 12 April, 2021

A Youtube video shows what looks like a saucer-shaped object hanging stationery over Hachioji, Japan at around 15:30 on 12 April 2021.

 


The witness does not give much more information but indicates that the object was hanging there for a long time. It is a shame we do not know what happened to the object - did it move away slowly, did it disappear?


Analysis

We see the object has a lighter colourded centre so perhaps the object is not solid, but doughnut shaped. By superimposing a frame from the start of the video with one from the end and lining-up the buildings and trees at the bottom we see that the object has moved, perhaps drifted in the wind. We can see from the movement of the trees in the video that there is not much wind, so any object such as a balloon, floating, would not move that far. 

 


Conclusion - The object may well just be a "O" shaped balloon. The lack of extra-ordinary movement from the object supports this conclusion although we cannot say with 100% certainty.

Segmented, metallic circular object spotted flying over Worcester, UK 2 May 2021 - UPDATE 4 May - Identified as Foil Balloon

According to a local news website, "Worcester News",  a local resident claimed he spotted a ‘UFO’ hovering over his garden over the weekend.



Witness David Whittall claims the ‘UFO’ was above his garden in Spetchley on Saturday morning and described it as ‘the weirdest thing he has ever seen.’

He said: “My wife Becky was in the garden around 8.40am on Sunday morning and she called me out to say she could see something overhead. I managed to get some photos and video using my phone which fortunately has a decent zoom on its camera.



The unidentified flying object was segmented into six outer silver round shapes with a darker centre. It kept maneuvering into a vertical position to horizontal and back again then after a couple of minutes it disappeared.

It was traveling south towards Malvern. “It was moving quite quickly and I would estimate the size to be roughly 5-6 metres in diameter."

“The only explanation I can come up with is it could have been a weather balloon, however they usually look like a traditional balloon shape and this was a complex structure.

“When I told my son about it, he said he has seen the same object in the skies above St. John’s.

“It was very strange, I’m not suggesting it is an alien invasion, but it is certainly the weirdest thing I have ever seen.” 

Update

UFO investigator and former police officer Dale Collett, from Worcester said the object was just a foil balloon. 

 

He said: "My interest in UFO's started after hearing the accounts of sightings witnessed by my family in the 70s of vibrating silver spheres in the daytime and lights in the night sky flying a zig zag pattern.

"Now, I'm at the state where I'm pretty convinced UFOs are real.

" Family have seen them, friends have seen them and far too many professional people have seen them.

"However, I'm grounded about this sighting as people can be too eager to believe. The report of the UFO over Spetchley was a child's helium filled, flower shaped balloon and nothing more.

"Although, even I was initially amazed as it looked so strange and not a normal 'balloon' shape. But after a while, a friend mentioned that it could be a balloon from the frontal view, so I looked again... Then Google searched 'helium filled flower balloon' and there the explanation was.

"It was an easy mistake to make."

Unidentified object moves across the sky over Nevada County, California, USA, 30 April 2021 - UPDATE - Old Video

A video has appeared showing a strange unidentified object slowly moving through the sky, low to the ground, over Nevada County, California, USA, on 30 April 2021. 

 


The video is purported to have been taken from State Highway 20. Unfortunately, there is no more information.


 Analysis

The video is of a low quality, so it is difficult to make out any details in the object. There does appear to be a dark strip down the centre of the object however. The object is moving slowly, just like an blimp or airship. 

The Goodyear blimp does have a dark blue strip down the centre of the body, so the video may be of one or maybe even two of these blimps flying together. 

There is a Goodyear blimp base in Carson CA, about 400miles to the south of the sighting location. Looking at the Goodyear Blimp website, there does not appear to have been a scheduled flight in the sighting area at the time. 

Conclusion - possibly a blimp or unknown
 

UPDATE - Apparently, this is an old video from 2019 from the Los Angeles area. Since there is a Goodyear Airship base in Carson, on the outskirts of LA, this video almost certainly shows the Goodyear blimp.

Strange saucer-shaped object apparently caught on video following a helicopter, Hamburg, Germany, 20 April, 2021

A video has appeared on YouTube by  Jan-uwe Beyer from Hamburg Altona in Germany, taken at 19:33 0n 20 April 2021.

 


He was trying to capture a low-flying helicopter when another bright, saucer-shaped object appears and moves alongside the helicopter, before disappearing behind a building. We don't know if the video is genuine. What do you think?

Certainly looks like a UFO - also looks like a balloon.  Anyone's guess!

Metallic "Orb" captured moving through forest trees in Cerro del Ajusco, Mexico City, Mexico, 21 March 2021

A rather poor-quality video has been posted showing what looks like a metallic orb moving in and out of trees on the slopes of Cerro del Ajusco, a forested lava dome volcano located just south of Mexico City, Mexico on 21 March 2021.


The witness states "This video was taken with the camera of the Hawei P9 lite cell phone on March 21, 2021 at 2:15 p.m. on the slopes of the Cerro del Ajusco in CDMX, the incredible thing about it is that the object moves the first 50 seconds so horizontally to later stop and go back a few meters, after that it begins its ascent vertically at constant speed (black dot above the clouds)"

 


Analysis

The video is of such poor quality that is not possible to make out any details in the object. Its motion and appearance is nothing out of the ordinary, and it may well just be a metallic party balloon.  

However, his sighting is geographically close to another similar sighting of a metallic orb floating through the trees back in December 2021. Coincidence?

A new MUFO report details a fast moving disk-shaped UFO flying over Christie Downs, South Australia, 5 April 2021.


 The witness states "This morning at 11.00 am i noticed a disc shaped object pass over my house. it appeared to be grey in colour and traveling at a great speed. it was traveling from the west to the east in a cloudless blue sky. there were no other aircraft or objects to be seen. i managed to get a photo of the object as it passed overhead. this is becoming a regular event in the skies over Adelaide."

Dark object with possible "dome" on top hovers near Taneytown, Maryland, USA, March 27, 2021

A new UFO sighting has been posted to MUFON showing an unusual dark object hovering near Taneytown, Maryland USA on March 27, 2021.


The witness says "Ufo in the sky floating/hovering. can be seen moving in the opposite direction clouds are moving. looked like a disc with a domed structure on top."


 Analysis

Although the video is fuzzy we can just about make out a shape which does not really match known aircraft types; in fact the object looks like your classic saucer! This could just be down to the poor video image quality, and the object may just be an aircraft or blimp at a strange angle.

Although the object looks stationery in the video, if we compare a still frame from the start of the video with one near the end we can see that the object has moved slightly. 

Start frame and end frame superimposed showing UFO movement

 Conclusion - unknown
