Posting the full video to quell the concerns..

Time: April 21, 2026 around 5:30 PM (local time)

Location: Tempe, Arizona, United States

This video is posted, the UFO looks like a bird or maybe a high up plane but with some image stabilisation wobble

But I thought it might be fun to track down the plane that flies over, it looks to be a twin engine propeller aircraft with wing tip tanks like a Cessna 310 but I cannot find a candidate plane.

And then it could be possibly matched with the con-trail.

Possibly a Cessna 310?

Yeh that was my guess in the original post but none fly even close, so possibly incorrect time and date.

They now say it was 2:02pm, so 19:02 UTC. But again there doesn't seem to be a candidate plane at that time.

In short OP is unreliable.

I like how the OP in that thread confidently just asserts the object was 40,000 feet up. Must be nice to have radar equipped vision.

The video has now been removed from Reddit as "duplicate/spam", so it may just have been a repost and not from the OP at all.

I think that video was a post that was related to a earlier post where the video was cut short, but often UFO witnesses are not really familiar enough with technology to say post the video somewhere and then provide a link in the original thread etc and then UFO mods will remove the follow-up new post.

And I have sometimes noticed that if a UFO witness OP seems crazy or unreliable and is clearly posting something mundane and arguing about it with people the mods will apply the sub rules to make it go away, but often these same rules are not applied in other cases.

This is a classic example of where a witness has a thing in the video that essentially makes them obviously incorrect about the details they gave, I've ran into it many times on Reddit, to the point where I take any witness provided data with a grain of salt.

I've tried to lobby Reddit to increase it's requirements for user submitted sightings to no avail, the issue of self-doxxing is real though.
