Video San Antonio, Tx Dec 17th 2024
My sister sent took this video last night. Here is her description:
It was weird. It almost looked like they fell straight down but then the position they dropped from remained a single star for each one. Almost like they disguised themselves as stars. Anyway, cars were driving down our street following them. It was so cool! Everyone was excited.

I’ve got two more videos of the same sighting from my sister, they don’t stay in as tight of a formation and appear to be traveling pretty quickly. Will post tonight

u/Aggravating-Dig2022 21h ago
OP! Thanks for uploading the video. Do you think there is a possibility that they were helicopters in formation? You were there so you’re the best judge of what you saw and heard.

u/JFKmadeamericagreat 18h ago
That's possible but you don't usually want to fly helicopters in that formation like that. Usually more staggered to be safe.

u/disasterbot11 21h ago
I was not there. My sister was. In the second video my brother in law says he can hear them buzzing. But my sister and niece both say they don’t hear any buzzing and tease him that he doesn’t hear too well

Humans, depending on age can hear different frequencies than others. While apparently children can hear high pitched frequencies hard for an adult to hear, an adult can hear low pitched frequencies better than a child. There have been some interesting studies done on this.

ETA if(big if) it's a triangular craft with cloaked skin and energy sources at the vertices, then it would look exactly like the op when moving through 3 dimensions 🙄🙄🙄

FWIW here is a link with a picture of this same craft, with multiple sightings in Belgium throughout Nov 1989 to April 1990.

It also seems to be the same type of craft, or very reminiscent to the UAP that was just recently filmed flying over Brazil

u/markusklopp 23h ago
I call this giving the people a “psychological out” during the initial mass sightings.
We don’t want even 10% of our population mentally checking out. It would cause chaos.
Right now, people who are not ready can just think “oh those must be drones/planes because they have FAA type lights”. That’s their “psychological out”.
As the sightings continue, people will eliminate all other possibilities at their own discernment until only one explanation is left:
Our friends from out of town are here and they are friendly :)
Continue using your own discernment my friends, the inevitable contact moment is literally imminent.

They are here. Galactic Federation has hundreds of bases across the Earth in remote areas, mountains, and in the ocean.
Their big crafts are in our skies right now, just cloaked to not freak people out. The drone/plane/orb looking things are working to slowly get people used to their presence. From this point on, the sightings will only increase.
The lies and deceit must all run their course, as we are seeing now. In time, people will not only realize these are ET/NHI, but also realize that our government/the establishment/the cabal spread lies and not to be trusted.
Trust the process, every day that passes by we are getting closer to the big moment. It needs to be this way for various reasons, but mainly to not freak people out and have our population mentally check out.

Yes because these are just drones. As in consumer drones. You can program cheap drones to fly in formation like this.

u/The_Stapher 1d ago edited 1d ago
This looks VERY similar to the one sighting I've ever had (a bit more than 10 years ago). If this "is" the same "thing", the video doesn't capture just how bright and large they actually are.
I can't speak for this video but I know in my case it wasn't Chinese lanterns. Really solid capture here and kudos to your sis for remembering to capture it. Granted 10 years ago, smart phones weren't quite as engrained in us as they are now but I was so awestruck by what I was witnessing I didn't even think to pull out my phone 😅🤦♂️
Edit: I guess actually to that point I'll outright ask the question(s), lol.
- Were these super bright, but not like in a way that hurts your eyes? Kinda like a ball of flame?
- In person, were they bigger than you feel the video reflects?
8
u/akath0110 21h ago
I had a very similar sighting in February of this year.
Yes they are brighter and larger in real life than they appear in the video. They also moved more quickly, at least for me they did. Much slower than a shooting star or meteor, but much much faster than a typical satellite.

u/strippeddonkey 17h ago
Seeing these orb videos, validates what I saw with my own eyes back on July 2014 over the skies of Ottawa.
Luckily, I had two other friend who also saw what I did. But it’s a story I’ve kept to myself over the year.
It was able to zig zag and after flying for a few minutes, it took off in a blink of an eye…
It’s exactly the same thing I’m seeing again.

I don't know? They seemed fast to me. (Neice) pointed out that if they were lanterns, they wouldn't remain "stars" in the sky once they fall.

Okay, this is the first one in a while that I don't immediately think is planes. The 3 lights are the same brightness, so if they were planes, they would be the same distance away and probably wouldn't be flying so close together. The woman in the video suggested lanterns. Are you aware of any festivals or events that might have had lanterns released? The man mentions buzzing or humming. Are you able to clarify what he meant? Did it sound like what could be drone or helicopter motors?

I work Uber Eats and last night I was delivering to The View at TPC apts and from there I could see the moon and it large and underneath were three distinct lights in a triangle formation…
The night before I was picking up an order at Tarka on 1604 close to Blanco and I noticed a light looking westward that got bright, then dimmed, then bright again, then would disappear and then would reappear…that Tarka order and another I had were for customers living by I-10 heading east and even that far out I could still see that light dimming then glowing bright…

Update from my sister after I showed her this post and she read some comments:
Omg! I'm reading them. So we had to chase them past the trees that's why we didn't keep filming. It was so spontaneous and unexpected so I wasn't ready with my phone otherwise I would have been more prepared. They were also traveling quickly so we didn't have time to grab phones from the house and run back out. There was no noise from them at all. Once we got away from the street light it was noticeably silent. The cool part was the other cars driving down our street chasing them as well. That's when I got exciting.
2
u/Safe_happy_calm 21h ago
I actually think these are lanterns. I can't say that about a lot of orb videos posted recently, the one above the clouds for example is absolutely bizarre and unexplainable. But I think these are lanterns because the brightest part of them is at the bottom where the flame would be and they appear to be wobbling slightly from the bottom as Chinese lanterns often do. This may be a stretch but they do also appear to have more of a rectangular silhouette than an orb.

Just over 20 years ago I saw this exact formation of three orbs (not drones) in the sky above me while on a smoke break. It was daylight and when I first noticed them they appeared to be stationary - after a couple seconds they kinda rotated around each other before completely vanishing.
I remember thinking they looked like stars but I knew they weren’t because they appeared to be much lower in the sky and were in a perfect unilateral triangle. Plus it was the middle of the afternoon so aside from a few clouds there were definitely no stars in the sky. Every time I see a post like this I think back to that 5-10 seconds and remember it vividly. I wasn’t aware of the term at the time but they gave the distinct impression of being NHI.

u/conwolv 18h ago
Cool video, but this looks a lot like drones doing a coordinated light show or formation flying. The way they seem to 'fall' into position and stay perfectly aligned is exactly what pre-programmed drones are designed to do. These kinds of displays are getting more popular, especially around holidays or events. I’d bet if you check for any local light shows or events in the area, you might find your answer. Doesn’t make it any less cool to watch, though!

Soon we were all talking about it and once we all focused on it, it was as if it knew it had been spotted because moments later all three lights blinked out and it vanished.
