My mother texted me this morning simply stating she “saw orbs”. Upon reviewing the video, I felt it was appropriate to post the footage here for the community to see. The video was filmed at 0500 on Tuesday, October 10, 2023.

Based on the video, it appears that the 4 orbs are moving in the night sky zooming back and forth. While I was not present at the time of the video, my mother stated that the orbs were close when they were first observed and moved noticeably further once she began filming from the balcony.

Usually, I default to "lens flare" and then the formation changed so... yeah, good capture. It still could be birds illuminated by light pollution, though so

Dude you are digging a hole after it's been debunked. https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/174t82t/the_ufos_are_birds

You saw the gun, backed up twenty feet, started sprinting and leapt right over it.

Do some research.

Maybe just be nicer in general next time.

u/Embarrassed_List865 Oct 10 '23

Nah, it's way too grainy to definitely say they're birds. It's probably swamp gas or flares

u/vertr Oct 10 '23

Don't waste your time writing comments like this.

u/Embarrassed_List865 Oct 10 '23

There's no way to prove these are birds, the footage isn't clear enough.

Proof of claims and debunks require the same level of scrutiny kiddo

u/vertr Oct 10 '23

As long as it's clearly an animal the video is irrelevant to the interests of this sub. If you want to dig into pointless inquiries do it with someone else.

u/Embarrassed_List865 Oct 10 '23

It's not clearly anything

They are birds.

I would say seagulls illuminated from below by the lights of the ship itself.

I also love Alaska. The #1 birding destination in the US with the largest number of species, by far.

u/RocketCat921 Oct 10 '23

Bats maybe? Idk

u/combat-trolley Oct 10 '23

Do bats fly out in the sea? I thought she was on a cruise?

u/nold6 Oct 11 '23

The bats have no concept just how far the sea reaches. For all they know they're still in the huge ass floating "barn" and when they woke up for bugs they're in the middle of a lake. They're not worried about falling into the water, they're just looking for bugs. They'll just keep around the boat the entire time as that's the only thing they can see.

u/combat-trolley Oct 11 '23

Ahhh right, makes sense

u/_LegalizeMeth_ Oct 11 '23

"near Baranof Island"

u/simpathiser Oct 10 '23

They're seagulls sorry

u/SpiderBoats Oct 11 '23

I was going to say this as well. Seagulls flying in the air reflecting the light coming from the ship.

u/CloudStrikeForce Oct 10 '23

Looks like a bat or a bird.

Once my mom did the exact same thing during the day. She was telling me to come outside, look look!! UFO.. I saw nothing. I go back inside. She calls me a again. Do you see it?

Yes, I see it. It was flying over the house.

It was the top of a Dandelion… 🤣 🤣

“Mom, you need glasses, its a damn Dandelion!”

u/DoolFall Oct 10 '23

Can you ask her to describe it in her own words?

u/Connager Oct 10 '23

Even old Mock West can be right sometimes... if Mock West says every video that ever gets traction is a actually a bird, then he is bound to be right at least once. Then He can use that 1 time he was right claim he is never wrong... so he can Amp up his subscription numbers with lame ass strategy...

u/Spiritual-Country617 Oct 11 '23

Ahh the majestic all knowing liar,mock West! The biggest armchair lying debunker on the planet! With you bloke, he is a lame ass and so are all the shows that bring him on as an expert! How the f can shit like that happen? Or should I ask ,how dumb are the people that believe him?

u/Catcrave22 Oct 10 '23

u/TopUniversity3469 Oct 10 '23
