The information OP gave so far: Location is SouthWest Ohio, date 10/11/24, filmed at night, located in the South East part of the sky.

That building might be geo locatable.

Sorry I'm not going to be much help as I have no PC.

A sighting of an unknown object was posted on reddit on 2024-09-02 17:42 UTC.

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...

Limited information on this one. Flickering coloured lights were spotted in the sky north of Adelaide in Australia, at 8:45pm Saturday the 10th of August. Noting in the article that it was suggested that the lights were too high for a drone...

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

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

The video captured a series of coloured lights flickering in the sky.

'We're not too sure what it could be,' a woman can be heard in the background.

'It's just really bizarre.'

Another popular Reddit thread video from a pilot.

I'll try to get the relevant info for the OP that we know so far

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.

Gathering so far...

UPDATE: The structure has been identified as a rainwater catchment that has since been removed and replaced by a different structure

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...

JUST IN: Former President Donald Trump was rushed off stage after he fell to the ground at the start of a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Saturday night.
It was not immediately clear what caused Trump to fall. He raised a fist and yelled back to members of the crowd before he was rushed away.

Looks like he was actually shot with something. He raises up his hand to his ear before crouching/falling

This video was posted as a Reddit thread in the /r/Winnipeg sub

It was later posted to r/ufos

I've not had time to look into it much but it seems a fun test, the building should be easy to find, but I can't find it it says 300 something on it, there's a 300 Main street in Winnipeg but with a brief look I couldn't correlate it, and no exact time is given, but I took a few mins to look at a ADSB Exchange data for a few hours before the video was posted for helo activity over Winnipeg but couldn't find it either.

I'm sure someone else will have more time and better skills.

From a post by Ryan Graves (posted Jun 28, 2024). Since it's a paid post I'm just extracting the minimum details:

• a routine red-eye from São Paulo to New York
• It began with a very bright point of light appearing directly off their nose, seemingly co-altitude with their Boeing 777 at 37,000 feet.
• It became apparent, due to the changing aspect, that they were witnessing an extremely long object traveling at speeds that far exceeded anything familiar to them.
• They estimated the object to be over a half mile long and at an altitude of about 90,000 feet.
• The luminous, ellipse-shaped anomaly passed directly over their aircraft on what had initially appeared to be a collision course.
• Before it disappeared from view, Captain R managed to capture the photograph [above]
• The entire encounter lasted 30...

New UI first. That drop down on the left was getting way too busy, so I've changed it to a menu/widget system that I hacked together from the existing lil-gui code


The menus can be detached from the bar and then remain open. You can drag them back or double-click on the title to send it back.

Things are organized as logically as possible under traditional menus. But it's only partly done. The first menu is still the catch-all for sitch-specific items that probably belong elsewhere. It will evolve; I just need to make a couple of passes.

Time sliders now wrap at the end and increment/decrement the one above, making it much easier to adjust the time.

Lighting is now more accurate to time/date, with the sun's direction being very accurate.

Here's a new model inspector; the yellow arrow points towards the sun.

The question here is, what makes the beam visible in the first place?

This video was shot on March 24th, 2024, but recently showed up on a NewsNation segment with an interview of Michelle. Ben Hansen was in the segment, persumable as a representative of Engima Labs who had done some analysis, determining it was not fake, probably outside the plane, and not that far away, but bigger than an insect.

I agree it's outside. It's much more in focus than the window

Description from Reddit:

On the evening of December 14th right after sunset, I was on the opposite side of James River from Langley sitting outside to watch that night's meteor shower. At around 7:15 I began to see red blinking lights from the direction of Virginia Beach coming in high and circling north of Langley Air Force base heading west and then passing directly over the base heading east and back in the direction they came. It began as one or two coming every few minutes and at its peak, I would say there would be upwards of 5 over the base that would sometimes stop and hover directly over the base. Always blinking from white to reddish/orange. The blinking was not uniform, and...

SECTION II: Executive Summary

AARO found no evidence that any USG investigation, academic-sponsored research,or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represented extraterrestrial technology. All investigative efforts, at all levels of classification, concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of misidentification. Although not the focus of this report, it is worthwhile to note that all official foreign UAP investigatory efforts to date have reached the same general conclusions as USG investigations.

• Although many UAP reports remain unsolved or unidentified, AARO assesses that if more and better quality data were available, most of these cases also could bei dentified and resolved as ordinary objects or phenomena. Sensors and visual observations are imperfect; the vast majority of cases lack...

DECLASSIFIED SUMMARY:
On 26 Jan 23, an USAF pilot gained radar lock on four separate UAP. Upon approach, the pilot was able to make visual contact and employ sensors to obtain a screen capture of the first of these objects. The remaining three were only detected by radar.

UAP-1 likened to an "Apollo spacecraft" in size and shape, with an "orange-reddish" illuminated rounded bottom and the top section "a three-dimensional cone shape" comprising "gunmetal gray segmented panels."

UAP-1 operated at an altitude of about 16,000 above ground level (AGL). The second and third UAPs were noted at altitudes of 17,000 and 18,000. The fourth was lost from radar and no altitude was noted. Moreover, no airspeeds were noted for any of the UAP in this report.
