UMVA has learned that a series of mysterious orb sightings in the northeastern United States has been documented in newly released Pentagon and FBI records, leaving many questions unanswered.
The records describe a bizarre incident in October 2024, where an eyewitness reported observing a "plasma-like sphere" hovering above a pond at an estimated distance of roughly 2,700 feet. The luminous object intermittently changed shape and brightness, at times appearing to separate into smaller points of light.
According to information obtained by UMVA, a second luminous point hovered above the water and did not appear consistent with a surface reflection. The object remained generally stationary for approximately 45 minutes before disappearing.
The video captured on an iPhone was later analyzed and authenticated by the U.S. government, and the FBI assessed the eyewitness as highly credible. This incident is just one of many documented cases of unidentified aerial phenomena.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that another incident occurred in July 2025, when a witness arrived home and noticed an intense bright light hovering below the tree line behind a residence. The object was described as a red sphere roughly one meter in diameter containing a bright white center resembling a basketball-sized "plasma sun."
A second witness separately came outside, seeing the same object, and both witnesses said a second identical orb later appeared nearby. The objects moved together above the trees, changed altitude and direction, traveled in tandem, and eventually appeared to merge into a single object before disappearing from view.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the FBI, along with other law enforcement officials, have been investigating these incidents. The cases include an unresolved 2023 incident near a sensitive national security site in the western United States involving six federal law enforcement agents observing what they described as glowing orange "mother orbs" releasing smaller red objects into the night sky.
An assessment by a government agency revealed that roughly 40% of activity remains unexplained after analysts compared witness accounts against commercial and military flight logs, radar data, and other records. Investigators said "unrecognized technology" remained a provisional hypothesis for the unexplained portion of the case.
The newly released files include witness narratives, sketches, and a notional map depicting related incidents. One of the most unusual incidents was a February 2022 sighting near Colorado Springs, Colorado, in which five U.S. Army personnel saw a shimmering object hovering above Cheyenne Mountain for up to three minutes.
The object appeared roughly the size of a large jet and resembled an angular, nonsymmetrical "potato" composed of irregular panels that slowly shifted and changed shape while remaining stationary above the mountain.
Government officials have repeatedly emphasized that an unresolved case simply means investigators lack sufficient information to determine a definitive cause. The records released to date document observations, investigations, and assessments but do not establish evidence of extraterrestrial origins.
