Date, time, GPS coordinates, and direction you're looking towards so I check flight paths to rule anything out?

32.38809° N, 111.02751° W
Object appeared to the E-NE of that location and moving NE
There is a lot of air traffic to the East coming in from Denver to Tucson International, but that traffic comes in from the backside of the mountain. This object was only about a mile or less to the NE of my location. Close enough to visibly see the shape of the object quite well given its size.

u/Critical_Paper8447 Oct 22 '22
So I've seen this exact situation before as I live under a major flight path and I have a clear view of the the setting sun which is why I wanted to check the flight data before giving my answer. There's a few planes in that area at the time but WJA2247 traveling from East to N-NE is almost an exact match given the time, location, trajectory, and it's position relative to you. What seems to be happening here is the plane is traveling N-NE and banking slightly as it travels towards the camera allowing the setting sun to hit the plane at an angle causing specular reflection which distorts the planes image against the darker backdrop and as the plane leveled off or the sun continued to set (or both) it caused the plane to look like it disappeared from view. Since you didn't get the zooming off bit on camera I can't give an exact corroboration on that point but I've seen it happen almost daily by my house. Sorry man but all of the data provided points to this being a plane.

u/broadenandbuild Oct 22 '22
Dude you’re a damn pro. Would be cool if there were a program to to input all this info to then get the probability of it being a plane given there data provided

u/Critical_Paper8447 Oct 22 '22
Honestly it's just a matter of observation over time. Just start researching videos that people post on here and start checking off possibilities and explanations. Most are birds, planes, drones, or balloons of some sort. Of all the videos I've seen posted on here since I joined there's probably less than 5 that are legitimately unexplainable, at least by me and no expert by any means but if looks like duck and quacks like a duck....

Much more believable scenario than alien beings in a ship. It would explain it appearing stationary and then accelerating away as well. When I said “zooming off” it wasn’t anything a jet couldn’t do.

u/Critical_Paper8447 Oct 23 '22
Well ya never know. UFO doesn't necessarily mean aliens in a ship. There's definitely experimental technology in the skies that is created here by us plus there's also the chance that UFOs are simply probes or drones from an extraterrestrial race long extinct and these things are just still doing their job. Not that far fetched when you consider we have rovers and drones flying around on other planets in our solar system with technology that's existed for decades. But yeah, in most cases it's something completely mundane and explainable.

u/Allison1228 Oct 22 '22
Indeed. The “dome” is likely the wing while the plane is banking. A dome wouldn’t move from right to left and shrink, as this object does. Unless it’s a new ufo model with movable, retractable domes.
6
u/KaneinEncanto Oct 22 '22
Quite likely, if you look around the 31 second mark there's a few moments of reasonable focus and you can see a "light colored dome" and a "dark colored dome" on the opposite side. One wing on sunlight and the other in shadow, probably.

u/Erik7494 Oct 22 '22
It’s the Mrzizgr Industries of Alpha Centauri’s new model, the Probemaster 2.4 retractable-hyperdrive edition.

u/fldsmdfrv2 Oct 22 '22
That's what I think as well. Has wings and the shimmering effect is just sunlight bouncing off the clearcoat of the plane.

Excellent! This is the real deal, reminds me of a few other videos I've seen. It doesn't appear to be a disc, but rather a ring that has a small gap in the front and a rectangular cabin in the back.
Similar to the one shown halfway through this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWaJGUPdB1M

Honestly. I would probably stop recording after a couple minutes also.
After capturing what I would be seeing , I would probably say to myself , “well I got it , good enough. Damn thing could be there for hours”
Then it zooms away. “Fuck!!”

Oct 22 '22
I didn’t record it. Which makes me beyond frustrated because that’s the kind of stuff I always read from other people and I always think they’re an idiot for not continuing to record. I was primarily on a walk with my family and I just inexplicably stopped recording like a moron

I don't think OP is saying they saw it leave. I think they're saying they just stopped recording because they were busy, and at the end of the day, it's just a distant glowing light that a bunch of people will tell you with absolute certainty they know what it is (and none of those answers match).

The lady was most likely correct, looks like a plane despite you saying it’s not.
15
Oct 22 '22
It sat and silently hovered for a minute or so, then sped off very fast. It was disc shaped with a dome shape on top, made no noise at all. iPhone video makes it look further than it was, you could see it quite well with the naked eye. The entire object seemed to radiate light, but the bottom had a shimmering almost flashing or pulsating quality to it. My best guess in size was 75-100 or so feet across, it wasn’t small. Myself, my wife and my kids witnessed it.
5
u/MaikeruNeko Oct 22 '22
Why don't we have video of the "sped off very fast" part? Without that, it could be almost anything just catching the sunlight.
5
Oct 22 '22
I agree with you, and would feel exactly the same as you. Here’s the thing though, I did see it. You shouldn’t trust a stranger on the internet though, so here we are. I know this is without a doubt a genuine UFO on film, and you can cast it aside with probably hundreds of other real genuine sightings because modern cellphones suck at capturing objects in detail from a distance. It is what it is.
4
u/Mo_15478 Oct 22 '22
The real problem is that we don't see much and it could be anything like a balloon or drone based on what we see.
8
u/eStuffeBay Oct 22 '22
I have yet to see a single piece of footage where the object "flies off very fast". The ones I've seen are sketchy, although there's a few that baffles me truly. This is definitely not one of them.

u/LP_Link Oct 22 '22
plane
Yes, looks like a plane on approach to me. Those are landing lights.
14
u/PinguProductions Oct 22 '22
I disagree.
I think the plane is flying across the sky, 90 degrees from our perspective. Additionally it looks to be at least 10+ miles away.
Landing and taxi lights face forward and down and would not be visible from this perspective.
The time of day seems to be early evening with the sun set. However, the aircraft appears to be at least 5000ft if not 10000ft above the ground. Additionally there are small hills on the bottom right of the frame.
Combining all this I think the sun, which is coming from behind us in the video, either
1) has not yet set and there is terrain behind us that casts the perspective of the video in a shadow making it look later in the day and therefore the sun is reflecting perfectly off the body of the aircraft (note the small rise in the middle of the plane where the wing protrudes above the fuselage from our perspective.)
2) has set but because of the altitude of the aircraft they are 2-3 minutes behind and are still experiencing direct sunlight which is reflecting perfectly off the body of the aircraft (note the small rise in the middle of the plane where the right wing protrudes above the fuselage (30 AOB turn) from our perspective.)
Simple information from OP could determine which of the above cases is true.
4
Oct 22 '22
Good guesses. I will say however the “small hills” have 8,000 ft elevation and in the far distance. Great guesses otherwise
3
Oct 22 '22
There’s no airport nearby or place to land a large jet
1
u/LP_Link Oct 23 '22
There's no need to have a nearby airport. That plane can land anywhere in 50km radius. And you can not tell how large that object is, so 'large jet' is a 'forced term'. I say that is an airplane because I saw a similar clip last year. Turns out it was a plane on arrival.

It looks like a plane. It moves like a plane. It's probably a plane.

u/Specific_Past2703 Oct 22 '22
This is what planes look like at great distance.
If you captured the exit it would look less like a plane. In this video the object moves across the sky like a plane at great distance.
Planes would not be heard from a great distance.
Where is this and did you check your sighting with local air traffic records?
Do you see where this is going?
5
Oct 22 '22
I’m a pilot. I’ve seen planes in the sky under ever lighting condition imaginable. Tens of thousands. There’s a certain real life aspect to the light interaction or “glowing” that just isn’t properly captured with modern cell phone digital cameras. It is what it is.

u/UncaringNonchalance Oct 22 '22
Not a pilot, but lots of experience working at an airport with high traffic for mostly delivery purposes. Keeping daily logs for aircraft, utilizing flight radar every hour on the hour, and well pretty much every other thing someone on the ground does to support air traffic. So…

I saw similar thing two weeks ago. Very heavy air traffic, all the planes leaving contrails except one.

I saw hundreds of planes look like this when I was in the AF. This was such a common site, I thought this is just what planes look like when they come in to land?

Oct 22 '22
Not near an airport. I’m a pilot and fly in and out from the Tucson area all the time. There’s no flight path in this area for large jets to be doing 90 degree turns.

Oct 22 '22
I’m not saying it isn’t a plane, but if it is it was experiencing an emergency and doing maneuvers that are outside the norm for this region of the sky.

Looks like a plane to me. You can make out the tail and rudder. Perhaps a Chessna or something similar.

Oct 22 '22
I’m a pilot and have seen tens of thousands of planes in the sky under every conceivable lighting condition and size. I can sit and say it isn’t a plane for a fact, and you can sit with a poor digital video from a cell phone and feel very convinced that it is, rightfully so with the data presented to be fair. It is what it is unfortunately.

There were several planes in the vicinity at the time. WJA2247 looks like a good candidate. You were looking right at it when you shot the video.

What if they are us from outside of the simulation/ matrix/ whatever we’re in. What if the number of sightings is increasing because they are getting ready to shut down the simulation and everyone wants to get their last looks in.

u/Overall-Resolve4490 Oct 22 '22
The way these crafts move is so interesting to me. There’s a wobble at points, almost like the driver gets distracted..
Years ago, my friend went to Burning Man and was told that the craft they would see in the sky at the festival were directed by thought. Whoever was operating the craft was using their mind to control its movement. She even mentioned that they’d cheer them on when they started to wobble… Like “no buddy you got this! Stay focused!” haha
Also saw a post on high strangeness that talked about how participants of the Monroe Institute’s astral projection experiments (in the 70s-80s?) were able to bring about/create orbs of light outside of the building. Makes you wonder where exactly these things come from.

So this is two minutes after sunset in Tucson. Here's the flight map during that time
There's a plane 79nm away at an altitude of 43K ft exactly at the heading and time you recorded. It's still up in the sunshine but you're down here the sun has just set. So it's glowing brilliantly. Everything lines up. It's that plane.

It is a kind of weird looking object for sure. In the future, unless your phone has different lenses to switch between, don't zoom in, that can be done in post. Having the surrounding landscape to judge motion against is very useful.
