That looks very much like a spacerocket degassing burn, possibly a Space X rocket. This video shows a similar phenomenon from a launch in 2022.

It appears to be a professional news cameraman who has captured some sort of "orb" in the sky, in Mendham, New Jersey.
The discussion surrounding this seems to be about how this couldn't possibly be a 'bokeh' or out of focus effect. (due to the camera mans professional credentials)
Other users have chimed in about how they've confirmed this through various software techniques.
I tried tracking down the original news clip with no success yet.
I of course immediately think "what would metabunk say" these days.

Summary: The lights seen in photos and videos shared by the pilots have been positively identified as Starlink Satellite Flares:

Photo from UAL1596 compared with Sitrec. The white object in the centre of the picture on the right is the ufo/starlink flare.

Video from N661LF compared with Sitrec. The Red Object that slowly appears is the ufo that was 'moving at hypersonic speeds, in a corkscrew pattern'.

Only audio on this one, but it sounds just like starlink flares.

Viewed on December 1st at 11:04pm in Pacifica California. The camera is the Pulsar Axion 2 XG35

Here is footage of three heat-objects flying in a triangle formation. If you watch closely you can see the three heat-objects rotate while maintaining formation and distance from one another. The objects then change their formation to a line, and reverse direction eventually flying west over the ocean. Before the objects disappear from view, one breaks off to the left of the plane while two fly to the right. Sorry again for the shakey footage.

louthegoon refers to them as "heat-objects" which to me...

Updated: Nov 27, 2024 / 10:26 PM CST (NewsNation) — A veteran Connecticut police officer has come forward with a detailed account of what he describes as a close encounter with an unidentified aerial phenomenon during what was otherwise a routine midnight shift in April 2022.

In an exclusive interview, Robert Klein, a 25-year law enforcement veteran, told NewsNation's "Banfield" on Wednesday about an incident near a local reservoir in Fairfield County, where he encountered a spherical object approximately the size of a "Mini Cooper," hovering just 30 feet from his patrol car.

Twitter account @captainbiggalow posted pictures and one video of an object looking like an orb at Manchester airport. The post is from the 25th of November but the footage was recorded months ago.



Additional information provided on twitter:

The object descended vertically in 15kts of wind. Was the size of a small car. It hovered perfectly stationary a few feet off the ground.ATC sent out an Ops vehicle. As the vehicle approached the object it took off vertically.

The world needs to see that this isn't just happening in the US. Several of my collegues have seen things they can't explain recently. We spend 1000's of hours in the air and know when something isn't a balloon or a plane.

This was recorded within the past few months. The first officer reported to Manchester Tower. They sent out an ops vehicle to investigate. As the vehicle approached the orb took off. Not sure how many other witnesses there...

AARO's new report was released today. No Full Disclosure, but I thought it was quite interesting.

From the executive summary:

External Quote:

This report covers unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) reports from
May 1, 2023 to June 1, 2024 and all UAP reports from any previous time periods that were not
included in an earlier report. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) received 757
UAP reports during this period; 485 of these reports featured UAP incidents that occurred during
the reporting period. The remaining 272 reports featured UAP incidents that occurred between
2021 and 2022 but were not reported to AARO until this reporting period and consequently were
not included in previous annual UAP reports.

AARO resolved 118 cases during the reporting period, all of which resolved to prosaic
objects such as various types of balloons, birds, and unmanned...

A claim is made that it looked like a single huge object with a rotating red/orange light on the bottom:

On Friday night my wife and I were sitting on the deck out back looking at the stars, we do this every night. Just after 10 pm my wife said "is that a shooting star??", which I found odd, because if it was I wouldn't have time to look at it. The tree near me was blocking the direction she was staring so I got up and looked, and my jaw dropped. I said "Holy shit. Holy shit!!" and we both jumped off of the deck and got into the yard for a better view.

The craft seemed huge, miles away, had tons of blinking and spinning lights, and a...

'(The lights) shine very bright then just disappear, only to reappear again.

'This was happening just left of and below the moon.'

I'm an Airline pilot and was flying over the Atlantic Ocean when me and captain spotted these orb of lights that kept moving around each other and one point we saw them move at incredible speeds and stop and hover instantaneously. It was at that moment I took out my phone to record them. Through out the night we kept seeing them. One would show up then another out of nowhere. I have another video showing two of them and I turn the camera showing another group to the South.

I collected a few errors I noticed in Elizondo's book in the above video (transcript below), and thought it might be useful to have a thread to collect any others that happen to be there.

Luis Elizondo's book "Imminent - Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs" contains many extraordinary claims about crashed alien craft, psychic powers, abductions, implants, vast government conspiracies, glowing orbs, and other unusual things.

Unfortunately, Elizondo provided no supporting evidence for the more extreme claims, saying that they are all classified. So how are we to judge the accuracy of claims in the book.

What we can do is fact-check as much as possible, and then extrapolate the results of that out to the rest of the book.

There are some things we can check. In particular He talks about four videos, Gimbal, Gofast...
