A Military Operator Saw One Shiny Object Circle Another

On the night of October 27, 2020, a military operator spotted two unidentified objects in the sky. He tracked them on radar and filmed them with the aircraft’s camera, but couldn’t get close enough to determine what they were.

One detail in the report stands out: one object circled the other. A moment later, both vanished in a fraction of a second. The camera recorded two dots in the infrared range, confirming that two objects were there but offering no clue as to what they were.

One Object Circled the Other

The operator described the encounter in a report to the U.S. Navy. He wrote that he had tracked both contacts on radar and that the aircraft’s camera showed two dots in the infrared range. Those words describe what the camera captured; they don’t identify the objects.

The operator tried to get closer for a better look but couldn’t get near enough. Neither the radar tracking nor the footage answered what had passed in front of him. He described one object circling the other, but didn’t say how long the movement lasted.

The Red Lights Vanished

The operator described the two objects as metallic, shiny, and balloon-shaped. He also wrote that he saw two flashing red lights. These descriptions reflect what he saw at the time; they don’t definitively identify the objects’ shape or how they operated.

Then, according to the report, both objects vanished in a fraction of a second. The operator didn’t simply lose track of one: he wrote that both disappeared after one had circled the other. The report does not say what he saw afterward or describe any further attempt to approach them.

What Remains Unknown

The incident took place at night, but the report gives no specific location. It is unknown what the objects were or what caused them to disappear. The report offers no conventional explanation and makes clear that the descriptions of their shape and movement reflect the operator’s impressions.

One object circled the other. Then both vanished from the screen.
