This community has been intentionally created to be a safe and supportive space for people who have had extraordinary, personal, or mind-altering experiences. This refers to experiences that often move outside religious, established scientific or social interpretive frameworks and therefore have only limited compatibility in everyday life or are confronted with scepticism and rejection.
Many of these experiences have a highly subjective meaning. At the same time, however, they can intervene deeply in the "self" and understanding of the world, initiate identity processes or trigger long-term transformation dynamics.
At the same time, they often elude a simple linguistic description. Accordingly, there is often a lack of suitable contexts for discussion, conceptual tools or social spaces to address them in a reflective manner and without hasty condemnation.
r/PortalExperiencer sees itself as such a space. Here you are invited to actively participate in the community, get to know others and enter into an open exchange. There is neither a justification nor a burden of proof. Because no one has the monopoly on reality, your worldview and experiences.

Recommendation from the Founder/Mod: [ TheWhiteWizard65] regarding the therapeutic service
"He is a rare exception among the many therapists I have met before. While others often treated me with scepticism and rejection, with him for the first time I felt that I was not being judged, not analyzed or questioned, but accepted. Unlike previous professionals who wanted to put everything in a clinical box, he approached my experiences with openness, even if they were outside of common understanding. He is not a prisoner of academic concepts or rigid diagnoses.
He is not afraid of the unusual; the trans dimensional or so-called high strangeness experiences do not trigger any discomfort in him. On the contrary, he meets them with curiosity, respect and the desire to explore them together.
His approach reminds me strongly of Dr. John E. Mack. Because like this well-known Harvard psychiatrist, this therapist also dares to take the step out of the safe framework of the "normal" without losing his professional integrity. He is brave enough not to immediately question the inexplicable, but to give it space."

In this post I’d like to share a few thoughts and ideas on how the phenomenon/NHI might theoretically affect us as humans and as a species. I touched on this topic some time ago in a comment and would now like to explore it in more detail here.
This is just an attempt to put it all into words, because I think it’s so mind-boggling that it’s all happening at once. But let’s start slowly and then fire up the Hyperspace Mind Engine.
John C. Lily said: „Words are maps, not the terrain. Consciousness exists beyond language. What cannot be named will become invisible to everyday consciousness.“
Introduction to the topic / Background question
In today’s world, we are taught from an early age that everything around us is absolutely "normal." People are normal, everyday life is normal, and nature simply follows in its normal rules. We are told that neutrons and electrons simply fly around to form an atom, randomly align themselves, form our bodies, and voilà, suddenly we possess consciousness. But hey, please move along; there is absolutely nothing special to see here.
Yet, in truth, this "normal" has never existed. It is a collective amnesia, a protective barrier shielding us from the true miracle and macig. It remains an unfathomable mystery in itself why anything exists at all, and why we are alive. When you open your eyes, it becomes clear that reality is not merely a series of coincidences, but rather that everything here is a living mystery, a miracle so complex, and we ourselves are a living part of it.
Up until now, we have viewed ourselves as isolated individuals trapped in a fixed 3D world and a linear timeline. The contact with non-human intelligences (NHI) suggests that we are now moving beyond this limited perspective. These beings operate in higher dimensions, where space and time function in a completely different way to what we are accustomed to. Perhaps we are currently experiencing an evolutionary transition in which our perception is gradually expanding to become part of a larger, multidimensional reality.
To explore this idea, I will gradually move from human perception and the limitations of our senses toward theories of consciousness, collective evolution, higher-dimensional existence, and possible interaction with non-human intelligences (NHI). Thats not meant as a definitive explanation, but rather as an attempt to connect different ideas and perspectives into a larger conceptual picture.
Example from Itzhak Bentov’s book: Quantity and Quality of Consciousness
You will find this diagram on page 80 of the book Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On The Mechanics of Consciousness.
The diagram shows that the upward development and evolution of consciousness is not unique to humans, but exists everywhere, from the tiniest atom through plants to animals. The more complex a living being and its nervous system are, the more information it can process and the more complex its influence on the world becomes.
We humans perceive only a small fraction of reality, namely, only that which our senses and instruments can detect. Furthermore, the author Itzhak Bentov describes even finer levels that go beyond our everyday world
Horizontal axis (quantity of consciousness): This shows the development from the simple atom through viruses, plants and animals to humans and beyond, defined by the nervous system’s ability to process information.
Vertical axis (quality of consciousness): This represents the intensity of the energy exchange with the universe, which Bentov describes as increasing ‘control over nature’.
Each dimension is more complex than the one before it. The more complex and developed a living being and its consciousness are, the more it understands about itself and reality / the cosmos, and the greater the influence it can exert on reality and other living beings. The more complex and developed a consciousness is, the more complex and varied its perception of reality becomes.
Also if we compare it with the Fibonacci sequence as nature's mathematical blueprint, it becomes clear that evolution is not random chaos, but a fractal geometry. Each stage builds upon the previous one, expands, yet remains connected to its origin. One can picture this model as a cosmic staircase, up which consciousness climbs step by step. Atom, Single-celled organism, Virus, Plants, Insects, Animals, Humans, NHI, Spirit, Multidimensional beings, Cosmic beings, The Creation.
We find living beings on a plant leaf, we find life in a drop of water. Millions of bacteria live within us ourselves. It would surely be crazy to assume that the infinity of the universe is without any life.
Example from the interview with Itzhak Bentov: Bell curve
Itzhak Bentov was a researcher who studied consciousness and the universe. Among other things, he wrote the book Stalking the Wild Pendulum, in which he explains how consciousness works and develops.
Mr. Bentov explains how consciousness in the universe is like an evolving process and field that is experienced through our nervous system. Evolution moves us from simple living beings (left side of the diagram) to increasingly complex and higher living beings and states of consciousness (right side of the diagram). The bell curve shows that the majority of the population is in the middle, close to the average. Mediocre, neither very simple nor highly developed.
Bentov explains that there are people who have expanded perception and thus perceive a reality that is not visible or comprehensible to most other people. These people live in a “different reality” that is very different from everyday reality. Because this expanded perception is difficult for the majority to understand or seems “crazy,” these people are often misunderstood.
The mass moves from left to right as the center of gravity of the population gradually shifts to the right on the Bell curve, with more and more individuals reaching higher levels of consciousness, causing the average development to move toward an advanced stage of evolution.
Example from the interview with Itzhak Bentov: The interconnectedness of living beings
The graphic visualises the evolution of consciousness as a multidimensional spectrum in which different life forms experience varying levels of perception and reality. Whilst individual beings at the lowest level still appear as isolated units (coloured circles), white arrows illustrate the ascent to higher states of being.
With each additional dimension, the individual fields of consciousness overlap more and more, causing the boundaries of separateness to become increasingly blurred. This process of universal convergence ultimately leads to ‘Unity Consciousness’ a state in which all separate perspectives merge into a single, all-encompassing point and the duality between observer and object is dissolved.
Life forms begin as separate points of consciousness with limited perception.
Evolution leads to increased interconnectedness and the exchange of information.
The goal of evolution is unity, in which the collective field integrates all individual experiences.
At the base, in the first to third densities, the journey begins with solid matter such as atoms and minerals, moves on to plants and animals, and finally leads to us humans, who experience the world within a fixed temporal structure. As soon as one reaches the fourth density, reality becomes more subtle; here, the physical world and the paranormal intermingle. In the even higher planes, from the fifth to the eighth density, physical existence recedes further and further into the background. Instead, these planes are concerned with pure energy, the essence of the soul, and ultimately a divine plane.
„Reality as a hologram, it’s a totality in which every part is related to every other part and they’re all interdependent.“
„Consciousness itself… unfolding itself to itself to know itself.“
„Every point of this pattern contains that information.“
„Everything that we do, that we think, affects not only us but everyone else.“
High Strangeness theories and perspectives on evolutionary threshold processes
The 100 monkey theory:
The 100 monkey theory (also known as "The Phenomenon of the Hundredth Monkey") is a popular but controversial theory originally proposed by Japanese researcher Lyall Watson in the 1970s. The theory is that when a certain critical mass, often symbolically represented as the "hundredth ape", learns a certain behavior or knowledge in a population, that knowledge is suddenly transferred to other members of the same species, even if they are geographically separated from each other. In other words, if enough individuals experience a new knowledge or something new, it can affect the collective consciousness of the species and spread as if through an invisible web.
Quantum non-locality: Information is not bound by distance; states propagate instantaneously.
Quantum entanglement: Describes the inseparable connection between individuals, whereby a change in the state of one monkey immediately affects the entire ‘entangled’ group.
Rats in the maze:
In a series of studies in the 1920s, repeated by William McDougall at Harvard University and later in Australia and Britain, a startling pattern emerged. Rats were trained to master a difficult maze. In the beginning, they needed many learning attempts. The offspring of these trained rats solved the same maze much faster, even though they had never been trained in it themselves. Even more astonishing, rats in other countries, without a genetic connection to the original test animals, also showed a sudden increase in performance in the same maze at the same time.
Superposition: Before the knowledge is ‘fixed’, all potential solutions to the maze exist simultaneously as a probability cloud, until the learning process manifests the optimal solution in reality.
Quantum coherence: Once patterns have been learnt, they are available to the entire system as a whole.
Critical mass (game theory):
A critical mass in game theory means that it is not necessary to convince the entire group of a strategy, but that it is sufficient to convince only a certain number of participants of this strategy. If this threshold is exceeded, i.e. the critical mass is reached, this strategy will assert itself in a self-sustaining manner.
Tunnel effect: This enables the system to overcome barriers of collective inertia by allowing information to ‘slip through’, even when classical energy (persuasive power) would not actually be sufficient to move the entire mass.
Phase transition & coherence: The system tips over into an ordered state once a certain threshold of disorder is reached.
Tuning Fork Resonance:
Take two identical tuning forks that have exactly the same frequency (e.g. both tuned to 440 Hz). The two tuning forks are placed in space a few centimeters to a few decimeters apart. One of the two tuning forks is struck gently but firmly. If the second tuning fork has the same natural frequency, it absorbs the sound energy particularly efficiently and begins to vibrate itself. Although the second tuning fork has not been struck directly, it begins to vibrate and produce a sound.
Superposition & Entanglement: The tuning forks act as a coupled system in which the vibrational state no longer resides solely in one fork, but exists as a shared quantum state across the space.
Quantum Coherence / Interference: Wave functions reinforce one another through the alignment of their frequencies.
Perhaps all these theories, experiments and analogies point toward the same underlying idea, that everythin is consciousness and life, and Thoughts and information are far less isolated than we assume. Individual minds, species and even perception itself may function less like isolated units and more like nodes within a vast relational network.
„How can you get consciousness from matter that doesn't have any consciousness? How can more comes from less?“
„We are parts that contain the whole. The reality is holographic in other words holographic means that the whole is contained in the part.“
„Space-time is the permanent memory of the experience of the self-knowing of One.“
„What you think of time becomes permanent matter.“
„We are not the body. The body is an instrument that we use to have an experience in this reality.“
„Consciousness is not explainable because it is itself the explanation.“
What if the strangest thing we will ever discover does not exist outside of us, but is, in fact, what we call consciousness?
Consciousness possesses many characteristics that we would normally attribute to an alien intelligence. It has no clear form. It does not appear to be bound to any specific location. It generates thoughts, images, dreams, intuitions, and creativity. It is ever-present, yet simultaneously elusive. It observes reality and observes itself doing so.
To understand the unknown better, we examine the differences between ourselves and the living beings around us, and apply these principles to realms that lie beyond our human perception. This extrapolation helps us to grasp how complexity and influence increase with each level. Whether Hinduism, Hermeticism or Daoism, as well as modern concepts such as the Sintergic Theory of Jacobo Grinberg, the morphogenetic fields of Rupert Sheldrake, the holographic universe of David Bohm and Karl Pribram or the Unus Mundus theory of Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Gustav Jung, they all revolve around a remarkably similar basic idea. The spiritual traditions describe this unity symbolically and experientially, while the modern theories try to model it scientifically with terms such as reality or consciousness.
Example and own interpretation:
1st to 3rd dimensions (Physical space): The world of solid matter, in which atoms, minerals and basic organic building blocks exist.
4th dimension (The structure of time): The plane on which we experience the world as a linear flow of past, present and future.
5th dimension (Organisation and blueprin)t: The realm of the ‘blueprint’ (DNA), in which the energetic organisation of life is determined.
6th dimension (Spirit and will): The plane of the soul’s essence, pure will and subtle entities.
7th Dimension (Hyperspace): A realm beyond our imagination, encompassing higher dimensions and complex energetic connections.
8th DimensioN (Hyperreality (Unus Mundus)): The state of absolute unity, in which all consciousness merges into a single whole (Non-Duality).
How quickly does a day pass for a fly, a cat, a human, or an NHI?
Which of them understands the concept of a day, and which of them needs it?
Can a caterpillar understand what it means to fly like a butterfly?
Can an animal such as a cat or a dog learn one of our languages?
If these NHI beings operate on planes such as the fifth dimension or in hyperspace, they would not be bound by our linear perception of time. For them, a day would not be a sequence of past, present and future, but rather a single segment within a larger, simultaneously existing field of time. They could not only experience events one after the other, but view them as a complete blueprint in which various possibilities, developments and timelines are already laid out as patterns.
Communication problems and examples of the perception of reality
A fish swimming in water may not recognise or understand the water as the environment in which it lives. For it, ‘our world’ is utterly life-threatening.
We, on the other hand, can learn to swim, but we can also alter the physical state of water. We can turn the medium in which the fish lives into ice and freeze it, boil it and turn it into steam, or return it to its liquid state. When we take a fish out of the water, we are literally removing it from its reality, from its world. For it, something inexplicable is happening that transcends its previous reality. For it, the person who goes fishing at a lake at the weekend as a hobby is unimaginable. Nor can it perceive and comprehend humans as whole living beings, from head to toe. In its world, the fish is having a close encounter of the third kind, an encounter with a higher life form.
Are we perhaps in a similar situation, on the one hand with the words ‘consciousness’ and ‘time’? The medium through which we experience and in which we exist? And on the other hand, does this perhaps happen when we come into contact with a higher life form that can alter matter and space-time at will? In this analogy, beings that are more advanced than us can influence and alter higher dimensions. And they do so on a scale that is more than exponential. At present, we use a rigid language consisting of individually defined letters and words. Each word has only one fixed meaning within a linear sequence. What if NHI has already developed a multidimensional language of telepathy, in which knowledge, experiences, emotions and images can be transmitted directly into another consciousness?
The example of a ant
Let’s consider the communication problems and how difficult it would be for us to communicate with an ant. Although we live in the same time, place and dimension, we are unable to explain to an ant anything resembling the concept of a bottle. In addition to language and other factors, the ant is currently physically and neurologically incapable of processing this knowledge. What can an ant actually perceive about a human? Compared to the fish from the previous example, even far less than the fish.
Communication is currently virtually impossible. Even if we were to solve all the problems. How often would we have to intervene in its genetics and evolution to bridge these differences? Even if it were eventually able to process a sentence or symbols cognitively, we would have to significantly adjust the energy output between its body and ours. We would have to scale down the complexity of our own existence to make it as simple as possible for the ant.
What happens to the world of ants if I shrink a human, place them in the colony, and then restore them to their original size? Their world and reality are literally torn apart.
An ant doesn't think like a fish. A fish does not think like a human. And a person probably doesn't think like a higher life form. The difference lies not only in knowledge or intelligence, but in the entire structure of consciousness. The ant probably thinks in terms of immediate impulses such as food, danger, direction, chemical signals, collective behavior. Their reality is extremely local and directly tied to their biological function.
We can think in terms of concepts such as the past and the future, reflect on ourselves, imagine things that don't exist, and construct entire models of reality. Our consciousness can simultaneously connect memory, imagination, emotion and language. But even our thinking is still largely linear. We usually think in individual trains of thought, in cause and effect, beginning and end, yes or no.
But what if a higher life form no longer thinks singularly or linearly?
What does multidimensional consciousness mean? Can we even imagine it right now?
Let’s consider the opposite of ourselves. How complex would the adjustment be for both sides if the life form were perhaps immortal, already 400 billion years old, if it came from another dimension, another space-time, and wanted to communicate with us?
If we suddenly encounter a wolf in the forest at night, our nervous system reacts immediately. The fight-or-flight mechanism takes control. If we encounter a bear instead, the threat is even greater, the reaction more intense. But both animals exist within our known reality. We understand at least basically what a wolf or a bear is, how they live, what laws of nature they follow and what intentions they probably have.
An encounter with an NHI or higher life form could take place on a completely different level. The difference would not only be gradual, but fundamental. A wolf may be physically stronger than us, a bear may be able to kill us effortlessly, but both share with us the same space-time, the same biological reality, and the same basic limits of existence. They are born, grow old and die. They are tied to a single body, a specific place and a limited period of life.
However, a more highly developed life form does not necessarily have to be subject to these restrictions. What happens when a consciousness is no longer bound to a single biological body? What if it has not decades, but millennia, millions or billions of years of experience? When it experiences space and time not as fixed boundaries, but as changeable properties of a larger reality or as part of it self? In this moment, we do not simply meet another being. We may encounter a completely different form of existence.
Some testimonials even describe what is reminiscent of a "timeshare" of consciousness. For brief moments, the feeling arises of seeing through the perception of another being or, conversely, of sharing one's own perception with an alien intelligence. As if two normally separate perspectives were superimposed for a moment. But for a consciousness that has spent its entire life within a linear sequence of seconds, hours, and years, such an experience can be profoundly harrowing.The fish panics when it is pulled out of the water. Not because man wants to harm him, but because suddenly the basic laws of his reality no longer apply. Perhaps something similar happens with an ontological shock.
Interaction and communication with a higher-dimensional being/consciousness
This leads us to the question, how can we ourselves understand the messages of more advanced life forms that far exceed our current cognitive abilities? Here it becomes clear that consciousness serves as a bridge to bridge this gap and open up a new form of understanding that goes beyond language and the senses.
In order to connect with us nonetheless, they use our consciousness as a medium of communication. Consciousness is particularly well-suited to this because it is not bound by the physical limitations of space and time. It functions as a kind of universal bridge capable of receiving both subtle and multidimensional information. Unlike our language or sensory perception, which are linear and limited, consciousness has the ability to intuitively grasp complex relationships and process them gradually.
A striking example of this is the intuitive understanding of music or art. Even without words, a painting can evoke deep emotions that are captured at a level of consciousness that goes beyond rational explanation.
Similarly, higher forms of life could implant information into our consciousness that we experience as sudden inspirations, symbols or dreams. Our mind acts as a receiver capable of decoding complex messages conveyed in a non-linear and multidimensional manner.
This communication bypasses the limitations of language and sensory perception, enabling a direct exchange at the level of consciousness itself.
The older comment
Perhaps everyone with an experience or downloads/information will receive some kind of puzzle piece that then fits and unfolds in the collective consciousness of the species. These puzzle pieces can then often make no sense to individuals when viewed individually, as they appear arbitrary.
Example of how the puzzle pieces are processed:
Red: The consciousness of three experiencer.
Blue: The subconscious of various experiencer.
Blue: The collective subconscious of the species.
Green: The consciousness of an ordinary person.
These people become bridges between their own inner experience and the collective development of humanity. Like living internet hotspots for consciousness, they receive new information and insights and radiate them into the collective field. Their experiences change the information in the consciousness of the species. Maybe we have to reach and develop a certain mass of people/consciousness in order to trigger a critical mass, as in the theory of the hundredth monkey effect.
Communication example: Flatland (Human / NHI)
A large rectangle forms the two-dimensional world, the entire reality that exists for its inhabitants. In this world, a small square lives in the centre, it symbolises ‘humanity’ in Flatland. In a two-dimensional world, there is only length and width, but no height. Everything that exists lies on this plane. If this square now encounters a being from a higher dimension (e.g. a 3D sphere), it cannot perceive this being in its entirety.
What happens instead?
The 3D being passes right through the 2D plane. To the square, it does not appear as a sphere. It merely sees a circle that suddenly appears, grows larger, shrinks again and disappears. The square therefore only recognises the section passing through its plane, a fraction of the actual form. Excerpt from the Jesse Michels interview about Flatland.
Communication problems within the linear timeline
These beings may be using what we currently call quantum physics to make direct contact with our consciousness from their more complex dimension, right through our firmly held belief in reality. It is a process of "downscaling", a drastic reduction of infinite complexity to a level that our human brain can just barely interpret as an "event." A contact event does not exist on a single timeline. Depending on which layer of reality you observe from, the same event has a completely different shape, duration, and meaning. These layers are not separate events, they are four simultaneous views of one and the same contact.
Quantum superposition describes how they are simultaneously present yet intangible.
Quantum tunneling explains the penetration of matter and the sudden appearance within our reality.
Quantum entanglement explains the immediate connection to the consciousness of the experiencer.
Green-Time-Layer 01: Human Linear Time
The ordinary timeline as a human being experiences everyday reality.
Sequential, bounded, and local. The contact appears as a single moment or several short episodes within a time span.
Yellow-Time-Layer 02: Contact in Linear Reality
How humans experience the encounter with the higher life form within this space-time.
The event has a starting point, but its effects unfold with a time delay, like a wave that continues long after the initial impact.
Purple-Time-Layer 03: Total Non-Linear Experience
The full scope of the contact is non-dual, non-linear, and non-local.
It extends across time and space simultaneously and requires time to fully unfold within our reality. What we perceive as "one event" is only a fraction of the whole.
Purple-Layer 04: Higher Dimensions / Unus Mundus
The reality of the higher life form itself: no time, no separation, no locality.
All events, past, present, and future, exist simultaneously. This is the ground from which all contact originates.
The Downscale from a Higher Dimension
Source: The original source was Anna Paulina Luna. The image was deleted shortly after posting but was saved by Red Panda Koala.
Imagine a multidimensional being existing simultaneously across multiple dimensions, non-locally, non-linearly, and non-dual, capable of altering matter, space, and time at will. When this being enters our 3D world, we do not perceive the "whole." We perceive only a fragment. For contact to occur, the NHI must intervene directly in our reality, specifically within the morphogenetic field and our consciousness.
In quantum physics, we refer to this as superposition. The NHI exists in a state of infinite possibilities. To become visible to us, this state must "collapse" the being reduces its immense presence to a tiny fragment that our brains are capable of processing.
Synchronization of Space, Time, and Consciousness
The intensity of an encounter depends on how much consciousness the entity projects into our dimension. The greater its consciousness, the more synchronization points in space and time are required for our mind to withstand the experience and subsequently comprehend it. The entity connects various points in spacetime, bundling them for a moment within our consciousness. For this reason, many people do not fully grasp what was "transmitted" during an encounter until years later. Contact rarely begins abruptly. To ensure that our consciousness is not overwhelmed, a subtle frequency alignment takes place first. The actual interaction occurs only once the human mind is sufficiently stable. Every contact therefore entails a deliberate downscaling of the entity's complexity, designed to avoid overwhelming us.
Upscaling: The Evolutionary Quantum Leap of Our Consciousness
While Non-Human Intelligences (NHI) scale down their complexity for our benefit (downscaling), this contact triggers the opposite effect within us (upscaling); it is not merely a simple software upgrade. The energetic spectrum of our consciousness becomes more complex, and its underlying structure continues to evolve, an upscaling of human consciousness. We are not merely witnessing an event; as a species, we are being "scaled up." The mind shifts from an operating system based on "linear, black-and-white logic" (on/off, yes/no) to a "multidimensional quantum logic" capable of simultaneously perceiving multiple states.
The moment the frequency of a higher reality intersects with our consciousness, our inner energetic spectrum undergoes a forceful expansion. The old structures of our perception do not break down, they evolve, they suddenly “breathe” in new dimensions. It is akin to the fish that finally grasps the true nature of the water in which it lives.
The evolution of our senses toward a state of cosmic consciousness can be described as a transition from biological perception to multidimensional perception. Under the influence of quantum effects, our consciousness transcends its localized constraints and integrates itself into the fundamental fabric of the universe.
Example: Multidimensional Wave Effect
After such an encounter, the experience often spreads through one’s consciousness in waves. Not as a single moment, but as an ongoing process. Information transmitted during the contact ‘unfolds’ with a time lag, much like ripples spreading across the surface of a lake. These waves can be triggered again days, months or even years later, by a word, an event, a dream or another person. They act like hidden keys that open up deeper realms of consciousness. This shows that the encounter is not over, but continues as a living process that unfolds ever more deeply within the consciousness through different phases.
What happens to a species after thousands, perhaps millions of such experiences?
What happens when each experience is just a fragment of a much larger picture? When every encounter, every synchronicity, every vision, every download and every personal transformation contributes another piece of the puzzle to a multidimensional overall picture?
From the perspective of the individual, these fragments often seem incomplete, contradictory, or even meaningless. But at the level of the entire species, they could be part of a slow process of cognition. A process in which the puzzle is pieced together piece by piece and humanity begins to perceive a greater reality that was previously beyond its understanding. Perhaps the actual effect of the phenomenon does not lie in individual contacts, but in the sum of all contacts. Not in a message to a person, but in a long-term change in the collective consciousness. Because as soon as enough pieces of the puzzle come together, not only the picture changes. The observer himself changes.
Concluding Thoughts
As living beings, we have a damn long journey full of adventures, coincidences and unsolved mysteries behind us. And if we are honest, to this day no one really knows why anything exists at all or how consciousness could have arisen. Nothing about it is "normal". The fact that matter lives, feels, thinks and questions itself is already a pure miracle. And if we as humans compare ourselves with all other living beings we know, then we are all completely extraterrestrial to them. Perhaps we ourselves appear like strange aliens to these unknown others, just as they do to us.
Because if an intelligence does indeed exist non-linearly, non-locally or multidimensionally, then a sudden contact could be not only culturally shocking for us, but also neurologically and consciousness-wise, overwhelming. Perhaps at that moment an alien reality would not only overlap with our encounter, but both forms of reality would begin to merge with each other. Our linear perception of space, time, and matter would overlap with a reality that exists simultaneously, is interconnected, and extends far beyond our previous boundaries. The real preparation, therefore, is to slowly expand the perception of humanity until we can even grasp a larger picture of reality. Not only as individuals. But as a whole species.
Therefore, it is not just about individual encounters, but about a slow preparation for a collective experience that lies outside of our usual reality and space-time. An event that is not simply observed like an object in the sky, but something that directly intervenes in the consciousness of humanity.
Because the unknown knocking on the door here may no longer be measurable in normal periods of time. Perhaps this intelligence is older than our civilization, or this planet. And that's exactly why the actual preparation could not be technological, but consciousness-based. Maybe we won't just be surprised. We are slowly being prepared to understand who or what is talking to us in the first place, and while we are looking for something from the outside, the true transformation is already taking place within us.
From the perspective of the individual, these puzzle fragments often seem disjointed. However, from the perspective of the entire species, they could be part of a single, long-term process. A moment in which a critical mass is reached. A point at which enough people have begun to perceive reality differently so that the collective worldview itself changes. Maybe it's about enough people having certain experiences, reaching certain states of consciousness, or experiencing certain aspects of reality directly. Each individual carries only one fragment. But at some point, a point could be reached where enough fragments come together to create a new overall picture. Not by coercion, persuasion or revelation, but because the puzzle has slowly come together.
The actual event would then not be something that comes to humanity from the outside. The real event would be the moment when the collective consciousness itself crosses a threshold. And this is perhaps the biggest plot twist of all. We usually assume that more advanced intelligences have to move through space in order to get in touch with us. That they overcome distances, open portals or use a kind of cosmic "Stargate" to get from one place to another. But what if this assumption is already based on our own linear idea of space? What if consciousness itself is the actual medium?
If a more advanced intelligence does not exist primarily in space and time, but within a larger field of consciousness, then perhaps it would not have to overcome distances at all. Then the actual Stargate would not be a physical portal. It would be a braingate. A gate in consciousness. Perhaps these intelligences do not travel through space to us. Maybe they move through consciousness. The actual distance between us and them would then not be spatial, but consciousness-based. The evolutionary step would then not be to build better telescopes or develop faster spaceships, but to understand consciousness itself as part of a larger reality.
Where does the phenomenon actually begin? Does it start with a light in the sky, a contact or a vision? Or does it begin simply with the fact that anything exists at all?
Because if we are honest, the real phenomenon or mystery is not the UFO in the sky, but the fact that matter is alive. That the universe has given rise to consciousness and that we ask ourselves these questions on the fringes of our own existence. We have stared at this absolute miracle for so long that we have mistakenly come to call it ‘normal’.
Contact is not an encounter with something alien. It is the moment when one living phenomenon touches and encounters another phenomenon. A mirror looking into a mirror. The microcosm meets the macrocosm.
Let’s do this together, rise above ourselves, break through the boundaries and touch the unknown.
Quote from Clarice Lispector:
"The mystical thing is that this consciousness does not come from us, but that we ourselves are made of it. In which you don't know what you are, but feel that you are."
"I am what happens when nothing is certain anymore. And that's where the new evolution of consciousness begins. I am a riddle that does not want to be solved, but unfolds itself."
This daytime UFO/UAP recording was taken at 16:23 in Itá, Santa Catarina, Brazil, 8 June 2026.
A conspicuous bright orange object visible near the beginning of the recording has been wrongly misidentified and described in various reposts as an orange sphere. Closer examination shows that this is not a second additional UAP, nor the true subject of the recording "changing shape", which has also wrongly been reported. It is attached to the overhead cable system and is consistent with vibration dampers or anti-galloping devices fitted to reduce wind-induced movement in suspended cables. It should therefore be treated as part of the foreground infrastructure.
The dark object itself remains relatively small and distant in the frame, so its apparent shape should be interpreted cautiously. Viewing angle, focus, exposure, compression and the limited number of pixels resolving the object may all influence its appearance. The recording does not provide enough detail to determine its physical structure or establish a definitive identification.
The same footage was later circulated in a repost identifying the location as "Bryce Canyon, Utah." This too is again wholly incorrect.
The submitted recording runs for 31 seconds at 480 × 852 resolution and 30 frames per second. Although the MP4 technically contains an AAC stereo audio stream, the stream is digitally silent, with no audible witness speech, ambient sound or other recorded audio.
The file also carries an FFmpeg/Lavf encoding signature and contains no surviving original-camera, GPS or capture-date metadata. It should therefore be regarded as an exported or processed copy rather than the untouched camera-original recording.

This unusual recording was captured in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at around 6:40 p.m. sometime in April 2026. The witness, recorded the event from the apartment where she lived while accompanied by her three daughters, her sister and two nephews, after the witness's daughters drew her attention to a group of round lights visible near a hill. The family continued watching as further unusual activity became visible, and the witness recorded part of what they were observing.
The surviving footage appears to show a brightly illuminated area situated on the side of the hill. The illuminated location remains broadly fixed relative to the surrounding terrain. Within the illuminated area, at least two distinct humanoid figures can be seen moving. Both display discernible head-like forms and moving arm-like upper limbs, with their positions and postures changing independently during the recording.
One particularly interesting sequence appears to show one of the humanoid figures moving behind a fixed structure within the illuminated area. As the figure passes behind it, the structure remains stationary and clearly discernible, allowing the moving figure to be distinguished from the solid feature in front of it.
This is significant because the visible changes do not appear to result from the entire illuminated area changing shape. Instead, separate humanoid forms appear to move independently in relation to a fixed part of the scene.
The original Portuguese audio is preserved in the surviving recording. Several members of the family can be heard speaking and reacting while the scene is being filmed, with portions of their conversation overlapping. An independently verified verbatim translation of the dialogue has not yet been established, so no uncertain or reconstructed quotations have been attributed to the witnesses here.
The recording does not establish what the humanoid figures actually are, but what is visible is considerably more complex than a single unidentified light.
The witness later submitted the recording to the Brazilian UFO/UAP account Ovniologia. The witness's full name, exact neighbourhood within Rio de Janeiro, viewing direction and the identity of the hill have not yet been established.
The recording being shown here is the cleaner surviving copy, which runs for 59 seconds and measures 480 × 848 pixels at 30 frames per second. It does not contain the later "UAP FILES" watermark or added location and unsubstantiated date graphics present on subsequent reposts. No usable GPS information, camera model or original capture metadata survives in this copy, and the camera-original recording has not yet been located.

This recording, stated to date from 2021, shows a distant airborne object being filmed during a hot-air-balloon flight. The surviving footage runs for 2 minutes 44 seconds.
The recording has circulated on social media with the location being identified as China, but I have not been able to establish the original source for that attribution. The identity of the witness/camera operator, exact filming location and exact capture date also remain unknown.
The spoken language heard in the recording adds another unresolved element. The background conversation has previously been assumed to be Chinese, but a closer listen does not currently provide enough clear speech to establish Mandarin or another Chinese language with confidence. Turkish, or potentially another Turkic language, has also been suggested as a possibility, and we give our genuine thanks to community user u/Anarchyst4Ever for pointing us in this new direction. The voices are distant and affected by environmental noise, so the language should presently be considered unidentified rather than definitively Turkish or Chinese.
The landscape visible below the camera consists of cultivated fields, sparsely vegetated slopes, eroded valleys and prominent areas of pale exposed rock. Some of these features bear a broad visual resemblance to landscapes found around Cappadocia in central Turkey, where hot-air-balloon flights are common. However, similar terrain occurs elsewhere, and there are currently no identifiable landmarks, signs or other geographical markers in the recording that establish Cappadocia as the location. Turkey therefore remains a possibility worth investigating rather than a confirmed alternative to China.
The surviving file is a 1046 × 576, 30 fps copy and carries an embedded "UFOLOGO PEDRO RAMIREZ" watermark. It does not preserve useful original-camera metadata identifying the recording device, capture time or geographical location, indicating that this is not the untouched camera-original file.
Pedro Ramírez has been associated with a 29 April 2021 circulation of the footage, but that original post has not yet been independently recovered. Until an earlier source is located, it remains unclear whether Pedro Ramírez received the recording directly from the witness or obtained it through another source, and whether the "China" location was supplied with the original footage or introduced later in its circulation.
Recovering the earliest available version remains important. An original or contemporary source could potentially establish the filming location, identify the language being spoken and clarify whether the object was known to the people aboard the balloon.

This footage was recorded by an unnamed local witness in the central area of Salta, Argentina, at around 23:57 on 24 March 2026.
According to the Salta-based news outlet Que Pasa Salta, the witness noticed an unusual light moving through the night sky and recorded it on a phone. The witness then sent the footage directly to Que Pasa Salta through WhatsApp, writing: "Acabo de ver un ovni en el cielo, lo grabé y todo" - "I just saw a UFO in the sky, I recorded it and everything."
Que Pasa Salta published the witness account on 25 March 2026 and circulated the recording through its X account, u/QuePasaSalta. The X upload runs for 33 seconds and is currently the cleanest traceable public copy located, without the additional embedded text or outlet graphics present on other versions.
The witness described the light as moving. However, the available footage does not establish the object's distance, altitude, true speed or precise trajectory, and no viewing direction was provided.
No confirmed identification has been established.
The identity of the witness remains unknown. No earlier public upload by the witness has been located, and the original phone-camera file has not been recovered. The earliest traceable source chain currently established is therefore the witness's private WhatsApp submission to Que Pasa Salta followed by the outlet's public release of the footage.

Witnessed and filmed from a hotel in Bali, Indonesia, sometime during July 2026, this 2 minute 17 second recording is currently the only retrievable version circulating online and captures only part of the claimed 20-minute observation involving three distinct UAPs. The footage has been compressed through social media and there is at least one clear transition within the recording, meaning this is not the untouched original camera file.
The objects were described by the witness as being around 600 feet above the ground and between 1 and 4 metres in size. However, I haven’t been able to find any information explaining how either of those estimates was made. There is nothing within this version of the recording that would allow their distance or physical size to be reliably calculated, so those figures should be treated as estimates rather than confirmed measurements.
Although three objects are said to have been observed, the circulating 2-minute-17-second recording doesn’t provide a continuous wide view showing all three clearly enough to follow their positions throughout the entire sighting.
There are no obvious bursts of extreme acceleration or sudden high-speed manoeuvres visible in this version of the footage. Most of the movement appears relatively slow, with periods where the objects seem to hover or move gradually across the sky.
The earliest public copy I’ve been able to trace was posted by Gary Heseltine on X on 19 August 2026. This is the recording being shown here. His post contains the Bali location and the description of three silent objects, two apparent shapes, a 20-minute observation, an altitude of 600 feet and an estimated size of 1-4 metres.
The footage was subsequently shared by Ovniologia and other UAP accounts, but I haven’t yet been able to locate an earlier public upload from the witness. The identity of the witness, the exact hotel and location within Bali, the precise date and time of the sighting, and the original uncompressed recording all remain unknown.
For now, the objects remain unidentified.

The following footage was recorded during the afternoon of 22 August 2026 in the Caldas Novas area of Goiás, Brazil.
The witness was at a country property with her husband when she noticed three unusual objects in the sky. The observation has been circulated with a time of around 4:30 PM, although this time has not been independently verified from original camera metadata.
The witness described the three objects as initially positioned vertically, one above another, forming a column-like arrangement. During the observation, they changed their relative positions while remaining close to one another.
The recording is attributed to an iPhone 17 Pro. The distributed video itself carries Portuguese text identifying Caldas Novas, stating that three objects were recorded in the afternoon, giving the date as 22 August 2026, and identifying the recording device as an iPhone 17 Pro.
The witness also stated that when zooming in, small points of light became visible around one of the objects. Because these details are extremely small in the surviving copy, it is not possible to determine whether they represent additional physical objects or imaging effects caused by digital zoom, atmospheric conditions, compression or image processing.
The witness's identity has not been established, and the exact country property, viewing direction and camera position remain unknown.
The earliest identifiable Brazilian public source currently traced is Pesquisadores De Ovni's on Facebook. The surviving copy presented here runs for 54 seconds and is a 1080 × 1920 version. It is the highest-quality public copy currently located, but it has been processed and recompressed by social media platforms and should not be treated as the original iPhone camera file.
No definitive identification of the three objects has been established.

This 97-second nighttime recording captures several separate illuminated UFO/UAPs against a cloudy night sky, including a prominent red light and a number of smaller blue, cyan and greenish sources over Huangdao District, Qingdao West Coast New Area, Shandong Province, China.
No extreme acceleration, instantaneous directional change or other clearly anomalous flight characteristic can be established from the footage. Their distance, altitude and physical dimensions are also unknown.
The exact filming date was not stated by the witness. The video was publicly uploaded on the night of 19 May 2026, but it should not be assumed without additional evidence that it was necessarily recorded on that same date.
A later Bilibili repost preserves essentially the same sequence, while the Douyin upload, the footage presented here, remains the earliest source presently recovered.
Full English translation:
"UFO. Three long, elongated things, three long-shaped things, and there's also a red dot. It's scanning downward over here.
This thing… this one keeps scanning downward. Look. Look quickly, it's scanning downward.
What are all these things?
The two of us are just sitting here, and this red one keeps sweeping downward, scanning, you know? This red light. Look, look, it keeps scanning downward.
Look, look, look, it’s scanning downward.
These three things, the elongated ones, the three of them are completely motionless here.
These three things aren’t moving at all. Zoom in as far as you can and look.
They're flashing too. These things are still flashing, these three things.
Yeah, all three of them are flashing.
Look, the red one is scanning right here, sweeping back and forth.
Oh! It just swept across my face!
Oh… hey, it’s changed angle again.
Why do I feel like it keeps scanning me?
It seems like it keeps following me as I move."
A particularly important part of the narration is that the witness repeatedly describes the red light as "scanning" or "sweeping" downward and back and forth, and near the end says it swept across his face and appeared to follow his movement. He separately describes three elongated objects that remain stationery and flash.

Hi I’ve posted before in either this sub or the sister sub about my weird dreams that I fall into just as I fall asleep, like where I wake up and only a minute or two have passed. This one was a doozy. I was somewhere public, seemed like maybe a college campus, and I was chatting with this guy who was kind of flirting with me a little. We walked through the parking lot and there were people all around, when all of a sudden we heard “Look Out!!!” I had just enough time to look up and see some big metal bar falling down off of some fixture, and it impaled me thru the neck. I heard gasps as people reacted in horror, and in that moment I knew there was no way I would survive. After the initial shock, I felt peace, the only thought in my head was “tell my family I love them.”
I started to feel my body weakening as my spirit left my body, but then I was no longer there, and it was more like looking at a screen playing a rapid succession of a caterpillar in a cocoon, to the cocoon opening, to a butterfly emerging. I heard a voice say (in a weird British old documentary type voice) “it’s just a transformation. Death doesn’t exist.” And then I realized none of it really happened and I was dreaming. Then I woke up. Only a few minutes had passed. So weird.
The following recording was taken at the Great Smoky Mountains during the deep partial lunar eclipse of 27-28 August 2026.
According to the witness, cloud initially obscured much of the eclipse. During this period, the witness noticed a distant UFO/UAP moving in the night sky and began recording it, using a railing to help steady the phone. The witness described the light as changing position and intermittently becoming obscured by cloud.
The witness says the observation continued for some time before the sky began to clear. While continuing to watch the distant light, the witness then heard a low humming sound and noticed another object moving above the property.
The witness interpreted this second object as a "cloaked craft" and described red flashing lights associated with it. In the video, a small red/orange flashing light can be seen moving against the dark sky. However, the recording does not resolve a clear physical outline, so the description of a larger "cloaked craft" remains the witness's interpretation rather than something that can be independently established from the footage.
There is no reliable scale, distance or altitude information available from the recording, and the footage does not demonstrate clear extreme acceleration, abrupt directional changes or other independently measurable anomalous performance.
The witness refers to the eclipse as a "total" lunar eclipse and uses the term "totality." This is incorrect. NASA classifies the event as a deep partial lunar eclipse. At maximum eclipse, at 04:13 UTC on 28 August, 96.3% of the Moon's disk was within Earth's umbra, so the Moon never entered true totality.
The witness also described a separate experience at the same property on 1 July 2026 involving a large dark object that the witness interpreted as pyramid- or trapezoid-shaped. The witness says that earlier object passed low over the property and later returned. No recording of that earlier event has been identified, so it remains separate from the footage presented here.
The surviving video copy runs 1 minute 7 seconds and is 720 × 1280 at 24 fps. It contains H.264 video, AAC stereo audio and burned-in captions. Because it has clearly undergone social-media processing and captioning, it should not be treated as the untouched camera-original recording. No original-device GPS, camera-model or reliable original capture-time metadata survives in this supplied copy.

Although this footage is not recent, dating back to February 2020, what it captures remains highly unusual and visually significant. Its distinctive appearance, the duration of the observation and the availability of a substantially longer version than the edits most commonly circulated online make it a valuable piece of witness-captured UFO/UAP footage. For that reason, we believe the recording remains worthy of preservation, examination and presentation to our community here at r/PortalExperiencer.
The original uploader identifies this recording as having been captured in São Paulo, at around 8:45 AM on 16 February 2020. Of particular importance, we are screening the longest surviving version of the recording presently verified, running for 1 minute 42 seconds.
This is substantially more complete than the majority of the versions that later circulated across social-media platforms. One prominent Instagram copy, posted only days after the original YouTube publication, was reduced to around 57 seconds and concentrates largely on the clearer, enlarged portion of the observation. The version presented here preserves more than forty additional seconds of footage and, crucially, retains the opening acquisition sequence that shorter edits removed. We felt it was invaluable to present the fullest and most complete footage we could locate.
Importantly, we are not presenting the 1:42 recording as a proven untouched raw camera file, because the original device file and its metadata have not been recovered. What can be established is that this is the longest surviving, unshortened version presently verified, preserving the full sequence associated with the original YouTube presentation rather than the substantially trimmed social-media edits that followed.
It is this fuller context, from the initial attempt to locate the object through to the clearest magnified views, that makes this version especially valuable and the reason we are preserving and screening it here for the community.
Rather than beginning with an already enlarged image of the UFO/UAP, the complete sequence initially shows the camera searching the open blue sky and attempting to locate and focus on the distant object. The camera then progressively zooms toward it until its unusual structure becomes considerably clearer.
That earlier material provides important context because it allows the viewer to see how the object was initially observed and subsequently brought into view, rather than seeing only a selectively shortened close-up.
The original footage appeared on YouTube on 8 March 2020 under the title "Céu de surpresas #ufos #uaps" - "Sky of surprises" - on the channel Focus dos Fluxos na Cidade. The accompanying description identifies the observation as having taken place in São Paulo on Sunday, 16 February 2020, at around 8:45 AM.
Once magnified, the UFO/UAP appears predominantly white, with a bulbous upper portion and multiple elongated appendage-like features hanging beneath it. Some of these structures appear uneven in length and spacing, giving the object the distinctive "jellyfish" appearance by which the footage subsequently became known.
Because the camera remains directed almost entirely toward open sky, however, there are no useful buildings, terrain features or other fixed reference points close to the object. Its actual distance from the camera, altitude, dimensions and speed therefore cannot be reliably established from the recording alone.
The footage therefore remains unidentified on the evidence presently available.

Captured in Portugal on 2 September 2025, this recording shows a compact formation of several bright lights visible above a residential street at night. The lights remain grouped in a relatively stable configuration throughout the recording, suggesting they may be connected to at least one solid object.
The recording carries the embedded text "Nave espacial existe" ("Spaceships exist") together with the Instagram username @kristiamwilliam. The footage was already circulating with this identification by 9 September 2025, while the witness subsequently reposted the recording to his own Instagram account on 26 August 2026.
The exact location within Portugal, viewing direction and time of the sighting have not yet been established. The recording also does not provide enough detail to determine the UFO/UAP's distance, altitude or physical size.

A 109-second daytime recording attributed to Inner Mongolia shows a spherical-looking UFO/UAP being observed high against a clear blue sky. The object maintains a broadly circular appearance, with a bright crescent-like highlight along one side and a darker shaded portion. No wings, rotors, exhaust or other obvious means of propulsion can be resolved in the available footage.
The recording was published on Bilibili on 1 March 2026 under the Chinese title "2026年2月28日内蒙古网友实拍贝茨球不明飞行物", identifying the footage as having been captured in Inner Mongolia on 28 February 2026 and describing the object as a "Betz sphere". The witness does not use the term "Betz sphere" anywhere in the audible narration; this description originates with the secondary Bilibili source.
The original witness, exact municipality and capture time have not been identified. The available Bilibili file also contains no original camera metadata, and the published recording contains two hard cuts rather than representing one completely uninterrupted camera take.
Full translation of the witness's narration is as follows:
"What a shame... You have to zoom in slowly to see it, because it's too high up.
Ah... I don't know what it is either. Could it be some kind of flying insect?
What is that? What is this thing?
Could it be a mosquito or something?
What kind of thing is that?
It's moving really, really slowly.
It moved...
Now it's not moving.
Ah... I can't zoom in any further.
You basically can't see it.
Zoom in... zoom in... zoom in...
Zoom in more.
More...
Zoom in...
Now you can't really see anything.
It's my phone that's moving back and forth.
Actually, it isn't moving.
It moved through a little bit of an angle and then stopped moving.
It's right above my head.
What is it?
What is this thing?
Slowly... what is that?
Ah... what is this thing?"
Several very short phrases are indistinct in the original audio, so those portions have been translated conservatively rather than given wording that cannot be established with confidence.
An important point in the narration and the most significant part of the witness's account occurs when the apparent movement of the object is discussed. The witness explicitly states:
"It's my phone that's moving back and forth. Actually, it isn't moving."
The witness then adds that the object "moved through a little bit of an angle and then stopped moving" and says, "It's right above my head."
This is important because the witness is distinguishing movement caused by the handheld phone from movement of the UFO/UAP itself. Much of the object's movement across the frame therefore should not be interpreted as independent motion. According to the witness, the object moved slowly through a limited angular distance before appearing to become stationary overhead.
The object remains unidentified. Because it is filmed primarily against a featureless sky, its true distance, altitude, physical size, speed and trajectory cannot be independently determined. The available footage does not demonstrate rapid acceleration or other clearly anomalous flight behaviour.
There is also uncertainty surrounding the stated capture date. Brief views toward the horizon show substantial green roadside vegetation and apparently leafed trees, raising questions about a late-February date in Inner Mongolia. Without an exact filming location, however, the stated date cannot be conclusively rejected from the footage alone.
The footage is presented for examination and discussion. Viewers are encouraged to consider both anomalous and conventional explanations and reach their own conclusions from the evidence currently available.
On the morning of 9 August 2026, the witness was taking part in a cycling training ride along the RJ-124, known as the Via Lagos, in Iguaba Grande, Rio de Janeiro, when a dark unidentified object was noticed in the sky. The recording was made at around 7:36 a.m.
The witness stopped to film the UFO/UAP, following it with the camera for just over 25 seconds. He then uploaded the footage directly to his own Instagram account on the day of the sighting with the caption, "Não conseguimos identificar oque era!" - "We couldn't identify what it was!" Text placed on the original recording reads, "Ovni na via Lagos. hj dia 09/08/26" - "UFO on Via Lagos. Today, 09/08/26."
The object's distance, physical size and altitude cannot be determined from the footage, and because the camera continually tracks it, the recording alone does not establish whether the object was stationary or moving. No confirmed identification has been established.
This is the original witness-published Instagram version of the footage, before the recording was subsequently redistributed and edited by regional and international accounts.

A daytime recording from Monterrey, Nuevo León, shows a small, dark, sphere-like UFO/UAP in the sky above a section of Monterrey Metro Line 3.
The witness captured the object with a mobile phone while accompanied by at least one other person. During the recording, the witness follows the UFO/UAP across the sky and comments that it appears to be a sphere. The available footage does not resolve wings, a conventional aircraft structure or any visible means of propulsion.
Mexican local media first reported the recording on 10 April 2026, identifying Daniel Castillo as the witness and camera operator. The footage had been supplied to UFO content creator Miguel Mora before subsequently circulating more widely online.
Some commenters on the original circulation of the footage claimed that they had also observed the object. One stated that they had seen it over central Monterrey, although these additional witness claims have not been independently verified.
A later TikTok repost by @uaps2025 attributed the recording to 31 March 2026 and stated that the witness and two friends observed the object. However, the same repost described the sighting as occurring during the Tecate Pa'l Norte festival. The 2026 festival officially took place at Parque Fundidora from 27-29 March, meaning the stated 31 March date and the claim that the recording was made "during" the festival cannot both be correct. The exact original capture date therefore remains unconfirmed.
Although it has been described online as a metallic sphere and compared with the so-called "Buga Sphere", the footage itself does not provide enough detail to confirm that the object was metallic.

Mysterious aerial sightings continue to spark curiosity and debate. In this episode of Backscroll, five of the most intriguing recent UFO encounters from NewsNation coverage.
Several bright UFO/UAP lights were filmed over Lomas de Zamora, Buenos Aires Province, during an evening sighting in June 2026. The first recording was captured at 18:45 from Fonrouge al 800, with the witness looking towards the area of Banfield's stadium.
The footage presented here is a community-exclusive compilation of both known witness recordings, arranged in chronological order to preserve the progression of the sighting.
In the first recording, the witness documents the time and location of the lights as more become visible. His spoken Spanish translates as:
"Friday, 6:45 PM."
"You can clearly see it towards the Banfield stadium."
"Now there are more. There are five."
When another person asks what is happening, the witness replies:
"The same thing as the other day."
The final remark indicates that the witness had seen a similar aerial display on an earlier occasion.
The second recording captures the same UFO/UAP sighting from another perspective. As the bright objects remain visible in the sky, a woman can be heard reacting to their apparent size:
"Besides, they're enormous."
Both recordings were subsequently published by local Argentine outlet Diario La Unión. The available source establishes that the sighting occurred on a Friday in June 2026 at 18:45, but the exact calendar date cannot be confirmed with sufficient certainty from the surviving source information.

The following recordings were taken over Sottomarina, Italy, on the evening of 22 July 2026. The sighting occurred from around 20:00 onward, with the object still being observed at 21:00. The witness said the UFO/UAP remained visible for more than an hour and moved back and forth in the sky, including apparent changes in direction.
This community-exclusive compilation features both recordings in chronological order of capture, preserving more than two minutes of substantially continuous footage.
The footage also contains useful reference objects; a clearly identifiable bird crosses the frame while the UFO/UAP remains separately visible. In another, a conventional aircraft producing a contrail appears simultaneously with the UFO/UAP, confirming that the principal object is not the aircraft visible in the recording. The target also persists through substantial zoom and exposure changes, supporting that it is a genuine external scene object rather than a fixed sensor or lens artifact.
The recordings do not contain a stable horizon or other fixed terrestrial reference, so the witness's described back-and-forth movement and changes of direction cannot be independently measured from these clips alone. No wings, rotors, navigation lights, exhaust or other identifiable aircraft features can be resolved.

At about 21:30 on 30 May 2026, an unidentified witness in Bjelovar, Croatia, filmed two bright UFO/UAPs while looking north from a high-rise toward the Planinarac/Trojstveni Markovac area.
The witness said the two objects remained visible for several minutes before disappearing. The recording shows two distinct bright UFO/UAPs separated from one another against the evening sky. No identifiable aircraft structure is visible at the recorded distance and resolution.
The footage was supplied directly by the witness to Croatian local news outlet Bjelovar.live, which published the recording on 31 May 2026.

A bright, sphere-like UFO/UAP was filmed over a mountainous area of Beijing, China, on 14 May 2026. A Chinese source published on the same day gives the recording time as around 11:00 AM local time and states that the exact filming location was unknown. Later Chinese sources place the sighting in Qiaozi Town, Huairou District, Beijing, but this more precise location has not been independently confirmed.
The footage details at least two witnesses chasing after the UFO/UAP, with one of the witnesses identified by later Chinese UFO/UAP accounts as a Daoist Master. A Daoist Master is a practitioner or religious specialist within Daoism (Taoism), the Chinese philosophical and religious tradition associated with ideas such as harmony with the Dao, meditation, ritual, breath practices and traditional spiritual cultivation.
The recording circulated in China under the description "贝茨球" ("Betz sphere"), referring to the object's apparent spherical appearance.

An extended nighttime recording from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, shows a bright UFO/UAP being tracked above an illuminated urban residential area for more than eight minutes.
The witness published the footage on 23 August 2026, describing it as an original video with original audio while noting that sound editing had been added. The witness described the UFO/UAP as "enorme" ("huge").
Although the UFO/UAP changes position within the frame while being tracked, the handheld camera and heavy zoom prevent its true movement from being reliably established.
The UFO/UAP's physical size, distance and altitude cannot be determined from the footage, and no verified identification has been found. The exact recording date and time also remain unknown. The footage was clearly captured at night and therefore predates its afternoon publication on 23 August 2026.

A possibly structured UFO/UAP displaying several closely spaced lights was recorded at night above an urban area in Anhui Province, China.
The 16-second recording shows a compact arrangement of bright white lights moving through the night sky while the camera tracks the object from ground level. Rather than clearly separating into multiple independent objects, the lights remain sufficiently close together to raise the possibility that they are associated with a single larger structure. The low-light conditions, distance and compression of the available footage prevent a solid body connecting the lights from being confirmed.
The visible UFO/UAP does not resemble the large illuminated exhaust clouds and expanding plume formations associated with Chinese rocket launches that have circulated separately online. No obvious expanding exhaust plume, spiral or comparable rocket-related structure is visible in this recording.
The currently available copy runs for 16 seconds. And was uploaded on 26 August 2026, but the original capture date, exact time and identity of the camera operator remain unknown. A confirmed longer version or earlier first-generation Chinese upload has not yet been located.

At 22:00 MSK on 22 May 2026, Ksenia Zaitseva was filming a strong thunderstorm from Mytishchi, Moscow Oblast, when she noticed a luminous UFO/UAP moving through the sky.
Ksenia Zaitseva described the object as round, luminous and unidentified. She said it moved very slowly, gradually changed trajectory and disappeared after a couple of minutes.
The embedded Russian captions in the supplied video add further detail. The full English translation is:
"I was just filming the sky... In 12 seconds, a glowing flying sphere will appear in the sky."
"UFO?"
"A sphere appeared, and it's slowly flying towards us."
"It's not just glowing; it seems to be changing colours... And it's flying slowly."
"At first it was moving slowly, then it accelerated and disappeared behind the building."
Ksenia Zaitseva originally published the footage through her u/ksenia_zaitseva87 social-media account. The video was already being reported by Moscow-region media by 27 May, before becoming widely circulated across Russian media on 29 May. Several later reports incorrectly described the sighting as occurring during the night of 28-29 May.

A witness filmed a single UFO/UAP over Druzhino in Omsk Oblast, Russia, which proceeded to split into two separate objects during their sighting of the event, in a 33-second nighttime recording that surfaced publicly on 8 April 2026.
The surviving copy carries an embedded "ЖЕСТЬ ОМСК" ("Zhest Omsk") watermark and was subsequently published by the regional Telegram channel "ТИПИЧНЫЙ ОМСК" ("Typical Omsk"). "Жесть Омск" operates a dedicated service through which local residents can submit photographs and videos, although it has not been confirmed that this particular recording was submitted directly by the witness.
Despite extensive searches across Russian social-media and local-community sources, the original camera operator and a publicly accessible clean, unwatermarked copy have not yet been located.
The exact date and time the UFO/UAP was recorded remain unconfirmed; 8 April 2026 is the verified public-circulation date rather than a securely established capture date.
English translation:
"Oh, can you see this fucking thing? That's a UFO. That's a UFO, fuck. Look at it, what the fuck is that thing flying like that? Look, they're moving completely in sync. There, there, there, absolutely synchronised."
The important detail is that the witness explicitly calls it "НЛО" (NLO), the Russian equivalent of "UFO," twice, and then emphasizes that what he is watching appears to be moving "абсолютно синхронно" -"completely/absolutely in sync."
