Nighttime video captures lights, objects, and other phenomena in the sky after dark. In low-light conditions, it can be difficult to judge distance, size, or speed, so a video alone may not reveal what it shows.
This page features reports and recordings from different locations, including pinpoint lights, elongated shapes, and phenomena the people who shared them couldn’t explain. These are reports from their submitters, not confirmation that the objects are UFOs. In some cases, the footage is too dark or blurry to determine what appears in it.

Common questions about Night Sky Videos
How can you identify lights in a nighttime video?
Check where and when the video was filmed, the direction the light moved, and whether anyone else recorded it from the same area. Without those details, and sometimes without a clear image, it can be hard to tell a nearby object from a distant light.
Is an unidentified light in a nighttime video a UFO?
Not necessarily. The term describes something that hasn’t been identified; it doesn’t establish what it is. It could be an aircraft, a satellite, or another light source, but more information is needed to find out.
Why is it hard to identify objects in nighttime videos?
In the dark, cameras capture fewer details, and bright lights can appear blurry or larger than they are. Camera movement, zoom, and poor focus can also change how a light looks.
Can you tell how fast or how far away a light is from a video?
Usually not from a short video alone, since it may lack clear reference points. Details about the location, time, filming direction, and other sightings may help, but they aren’t always enough.
What will you find on this page about nighttime videos?
The page brings together reports of nighttime recordings from different countries and regions, including lights, shapes, and movements described by those who shared them. Some videos are unclear, and the accompanying details are based on the submitter’s account.
