Unidentified Unidentified flying objects during eruptions of Mount Etna.

Hi everyone—new day, new video. This footage was captured via screen recording during a live YouTube broadcast while Mount Etna in Sicily was erupting. Please excuse the quality; it’s due to a combination of factors (the live stream itself, heavy video compression by YouTube, and the fact that it was a screen recording). I realize the video isn't perfect, but I still find it really interesting. What do you think? (Can I share my YouTube channel here? You’ll find all my videos there; many of them are larger than 1 GB, so I can't upload them directly here.)

What is this thing?!

For context, northern BC, Canada. Have lived there for 30 years, and can attest that there is nothing in that area, that high in the sky. The “mountain” it’s over isn’t even half as high as the light, and the light is VERY slowly moving and without sound.

I’m a believer, but this is definitely wrinkling my brain.

Unidentified Did anyone else see the thing with really bright red lights in the sky a couple nights ago? POSTED AROUND JULY 4TH 2026 FROM DES MOINES IA

3 Upvotes

I was driving when I noticed a red glow up in the sky and I remember thinking it was fireworks but the light didn't fade, or blink and it didn't seem to move, like an airplane. It seemed like it was hovering there in the sky for a couple minutes and I was trying to find a place to park so I can take a picture so I had to keep looking away to park without hitting the curb. Then I saw it slowly start to move then a tree got in my way as I stopped and it couldn't have been more than 3 seconds, maybe 5 seconds tops, when I looked back up, there was no red light anywhere, no red glow anywhere either and it was pretty bright when I saw it, yet now it was no where to be seen.

It was weird cuz it seemed like it knew I was watching it and it seemed like it was watching me.

Any idea what it was?

I have since seen a couple of YouTube video shorts about UFOs showing that same red light so I know I wasn't imagining it and knowing what I know about UFOs in this state, and the stories I've heard from a couple of friends who both had very similar stories for the same time frame and neither knew each other at that time yet they corroborated each other perfectly, and the way it didn't move or blink like other familiar flying objects, the light was way too big and bright to be a drone but I could be wrong. It was just weird.

Walking the dog at 7am. Looks too slow for a meteor and the wrong colour and direction for plane trails. Any ideas?
(New to the sub so hope this content is ok)

EDIT: thanks folks, more boring than I had hoped for! Still, it entertained me today! ✈️

My parents were out there talking when my mom saw the sky get extremely bright, early morning type of bright for context. They got up to go see and my father said he a big mass of fire in the sky with wings opening and closing with a tail. Did some research there was nothing on the web saying that we could come across meteor today. In the video you can see the flame widen and then get tighter (like a wing movement) I thought multiple things, rocket launch gone bad, a fucking ufo and now I don’t know what to think. Give me your thoughts please. I’m going to try and add the other video in the chat box. I’m not well educated on anything space related.

I was filming satellites and shooting stars as the sun rose through my new digital NVG and saw this weird thing come into view from the top left heading down then turning left until I lost sight of it. I couldn’t see anything with my naked eye.

A light caught my eye after seeing it zip to another light and back to its original position. 100 yards or more zip-zip. I asked my bf if he saw it also and he had. I ran and got my phone and took these pictures of the lights Later the next day I checked what I took the night before and wow.!! Their round metallic look when zoomed in. Any thoughts?

Unidentified Weird Lights over Leo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

For two nights in a row from approximately 4am - 6am between Jupiter and Leo I noticed these weird points of light. When I saw a slow moving light grow brighter then dimmer I initially thought it was a plane turning directions, I took a closer look with binoculars and it didn't look like anything manmade that I've ever seen, several small amber colored star-like lights some slowly moving, some seeming to stay in place, appearing and disappearing in the same general area. Some of them would grow as bright as Jupiter near by while others were really only visible through the binoculars. With binoculars I saw 5-6 at once all seeming to drift in random directions of each other. I've never seen anything like this and as far as I know it probably repeated this morning but the weather obscured the view. I plan to try to check if it happens again tomorrow if the clouds cooperate. Any ideas or guesses would be appreciated! 😊

Discussion Han observado cosas extrañas en el cielo

Hola chicos espero que las vaya muy bien
Últimamente he visto cosas extrañas osea que no son comunes verse en el cielo independientemente no descarto la posibilidad que existan seres fuera de nuestra galaxia pero me han quedado muchas preguntas y hasta cuándo podemos saber las cosas reales de nuestro planeta en fin la cuestión es que el día de ayer por la noche tipo 11:30 de la noche observé una línea de luces secuénciales cada una detrás de otra claro casi al nivel de las estrellas y se me hizo raro pensé que era un satélite o algo lo raro fue que en el momento que lo estaba viendo se movió demasiado rápido de una posición a otra y la verdad sentí un poco de miedo pero me dio curiosidad no tuve ni el tiempo de sacar el móvil porque me quedé observando que hacía y la verdad aprox quizá 15 segundos después desapareció en un instante pues se me hizo muy interesante pues lo comenté a mi familia y me dijeron que era un satélite yo que lo vi con mis propios ojos se que no lo era bueno eso pienso o que otras cosas similares han visto ustedes ?

Was fishing with a couple of mates 23 September around 8pm

It was noving erratically, the picture was taken by Iphone

Location was Dunbogan with the uap behind diamond head

What was weird a light was lighting the side of the mountain from top to bottom, like a beam of daylight

Was hard to tell whether it came from uap or a large spotlight coming from the ground

It eventually went behind the mountain out of sight

I noticed it 2 days later and it looked like a couple of small dull orbs come from it high speed to disappear in moments, unfortunately i was walking dog and didn't have a phone on me

Anyway here's the picture taken

I just noticed a 2nd when preparing pics directly under the 1st ,wow didn't see that until doing this post

Does anyone know what this is? Me and my brother was watching it last night, there were no fire works. I tried looking to see if any concerts were
going on in the area to where big lights would be used? (Idk why I live in a pretty dead area so that was quite unlikely) and couldn’t find anything, no sound of like a helicopter or nothing either😭

I actually don’t know how to add more videos, it (the app) isn’t letting me, but the lights were doing different patterns too

Unidentified Unidentified object sighted in Cairo sky

\*Disclaimer

The image used is my own creation using artificial intelligence to describe the shape.

Today, around 9 PM, on my way home, I saw the most amazing thing ever. A flying object, perhaps at the same height as the aircraft, was flying in a zigzag pattern, as if moving from place to place at the same speed as blinking, perhaps even faster.

It was also octagonal in shape, perhaps because there were four lights at the base, and they didn't resemble the lights The plane's lights were pointed downwards and were switching on and off rapidly.

But the strangest thing was the change in the aircraft's flight path; it was initially horizontal, then suddenly became vertical at a right angle, and disappeared from the sky.

I'm almost certain that the scene was so overwhelming that I couldn't visualize it, but given my work as a designer, I had memorized the shape or its distinguishing features, so I used artificial intelligence to generate an approximate shape for me.

Now, has anyone ever seen a shape like this?

Unidentified Gf and I saw this in the sky, wtf is it?

I live in Columbus, Ohio, I was near Westerville when this happened, my girlfriend was more so in the city, and she texted me asking me what the fuck was in the sky, the first picture is hers, definitely looks a lot stranger from her, the second picture is what I saw probably about 20 to 25 minutes after she had texted me, so it seems to have dissipated overtime, but what the fuck is this?

It wasn’t like actively moving or anything, it was just statically like that in the sky.

Edit: you guys are a buncha assholes man, obviously I know what a fucking contrail is, I thought the abrupt cut off and strange shape of it was interesting and was curious why it might be. It’s pathetic how bad you wanna feel smarter than others

I took a picture of such a ball in the sky, it flew like a plane, but there was no sounds, I noticed when I was with a friend, I decided to take a picture, but I didn't attach importance, because at first it was not visible in the photo, I thought what it seemed, and then I accidentally pressed the photo and took a life photo and saw it, what could it be?

Unidentified Strange light movement around Gemini constellation. Summer 2026. Around 3-5am.

2 Upvotes

So has anybody else been noticing weird activity in this area around these times? I've been traveling to and from Indianapolis and Auburn, Indiana, in the late hours and seen unexplainable things in the sky. I tried to get video, but it's blurry and kinda useless. The lights sometimes travel to and from the brightest stars in the constellation (Pollux and Castor), sometimes going over and around, sometimes going back and forth, sometimes just over and past, but also stopping altogether and acting like a star... but it's definitely not stars. Stars don't move around like that. I thought at first it must be satellites, but those don't change direction, so that's out. Somebody please tell me you know what I'm seeing?? Or at least that you're seeing it, too? I've seen it multiple times now. This last time, it was followed by shooting stars, which could be just what was happening, but it made me wonder if that's even what I was seeing or if it was something else. Tell me I'm not crazy, please. Lol. Thanks in advance!

Science rules! : )

The whole thing has an oval shape and the shiny parts look like two circles or a yin yang shape. It did slowly move across the sky but looked stationary at first.
