Another ‘orange UFO orb’ was spotted in the skies over the US near a military base in Tennessee
Another mysterious ‘orange UFO orb’ was spotted flying over the US, however, this time the inexplicable glow was seen conspicuously hovering over a military base in Tennessee.
An anonymous user on Reddit captured footage of a mystifying ‘bright orange light’ flying relatively low as it traveled over Fort Campbell – a military base along the Tennessee-Kentucky border – on New Year’s Day.
The user, who witnessed the perplexing ‘celestial’ event alongside their father, who is a seasoned Army veteran, said that they ‘couldn’t explain’ what they were seeing in the skies above.
‘My dad, a former soldier with nearly 30 years of Army experience and extensive knowledge of the aircrafts that fly over his house, said he couldn’t explain what he saw – this was unlike anything he’d encountered before,’ the post reads.
Around 12:10am on January 1, the Redditor, who was visiting family in a city just outside Nashville, tried to capture the object ‘as quickly as possible,’ snapping a near 35-second clip of the glowing orb.
‘Just after midnight, my dad was outside watching fireworks when he noticed a bright orange light flying relatively low and maintaining a steady, consistent speed as it traveled from the northwest – where both Fort Campbell and the local airport are located,’ the user claimed.
The curious onlookers were mystified at the unidentified flying object as it did not appear to have any additional lights as they suspect most drones do.
‘My friend, dad, and I watched the object together and were surprised it had no additional lights, as one might expect on a drone,’ the post adds.
‘Initially, I thought it might be a hobbyist drone capturing footage of the fireworks for the New Year, but the apparent distance it was flying has made me second-guess that assumption.’
Bright high-flying ‘orange UFO orbs’ have been spotted across the US in recent weeks with the most recent sighting surfacing over New York City.
On December 27, Reddit user @YogurtclosetFlat5701 posted a video of the inexplicable luminous object to the ‘The UFOs Subreddit’ – a forum for UFO discussions where people can talk about sightings, experiences, news and investigations.
The local recorded the video above Brookville Blvd in Queens, New York, right next to JFK airport.
‘We looked up and there were 4 orange orbs in formation in what is suppose to be a no fly zone they then started to disappear,’ the user wrote.
In the video, four unblinking orange orbs are suspended in the air, forming a striking boomerang shape.
A video was taken from inside the user’s car and another from outside the user’s car.
‘They were moving oddly like not completely stationary and then started to disappear one by one. The 2nd to last one drifted slighting then disappeared. They maintained that formation for the duration of the sighting,’ the user said.
Users local to the New York City area also confirmed the traveler’s sightings. One, who goes by the username @ZoraOctavia, said they have lived by the airport for over a decade and know the difference between a plane and a UFO.
‘Lived here 14 years with planes flying by all day everyday. They fly so low it feels like you can almost touch them. I know what they look like when they come in to land and take off. I have never ever seen anything like this. Ever,’ the user said.
Other Redditors deemed the occurrence as highly suspicious and were shocked the government wasn’t taking immediate action.
‘Seeing as that’s a no fly zone, the FAA should be all over that,’ said a user.
‘This is truly not okay. Can we please start demanding the government gives more a f*** about this?’ chimed a third.
Recent reports of strange orbs in the skies above the eastern United States have added another layer of mystery to the ongoing drone sightings across the country.
A father and son in Georgia experienced an unusual encounter on December 26 when they spotted a bright orange ‘UFO orb’ moving across the night sky.
While taking out the trash, the father noticed the glowing object and pointed it out to his son.
Intrigued, they watched the orb for several minutes before deciding to film it.
The father then shared the video on the ‘UFO Reddit’ forum, seeking explanations for the mysterious phenomenon.
The 58-second video shows the orange orb gliding through the sky, occasionally moving upward or downward.
As the father followed it, the orb appeared to dim and eventually vanish, leaving him and his son puzzled about its nature.
The father described the initial sighting as a ‘huge’ light in the distance, which seemed to dim as it approached. He speculated that the orb might have been trying to evade him, or it could have simply disappeared behind clouds.
The video has since garnered significant attention on Reddit, with over 2,000 shares and 500 comments from users discussing the unusual sighting.
Just days prior, a perplexing light was captured hovering over New Jersey skies.
Video footage from near Atlantic City shows a white light blinking before suddenly accelerating away at incredible speeds, leaving observers stunned.
These recent events follow a report from a US military witness who experienced a close encounter with a silent, luminous object while camping in October.
The witness described the object as hovering 100 yards above, illuminating the area brighter than any full moon.
These sightings, along with others reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), continue to fuel public interest and speculation about the nature of these unidentified aerial phenomena.
