A bright, glowing UFO, a classic ‘cigar’-shape reported by witnesses for decades, has now been caught on military-grade night vision video.
The unknown, seemingly slow and silently moving object, ‘looked like a blur with [the] naked eye,’ according to the Montana local who spotted it this June.
The blur only took on a more defined shape with the aid of the witness’s night vision camera, made by military contractor SiOnyx which also makes consumer models.
The unusual, long cylinder of light appears to slowly glide at an angle in front of an expansive starfield above ‘Big Sky Country‘ — just before disappearing behind a mountain range visible from the witness’s location along Airport Road in Belgrade.
The sighting occurred less the four miles to the east of Montana’s Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, also in Belgrade, although the eerie video contains no sounds of commercial air traffic as the UFO drifts across the starry night sky.
‘Sometimes we get videos like this that are baffling,’ said Alejandro Rojas, advisor to tech start-up Enigma Labs, whose UFO database received the witness’s submission.
‘It sort of looks like Starlink satellites,’ Rojas told DailyMail.com, ‘which look like a long train of satellites in a row. But these look like one solid object.’
Enigma has built a massive catalog of UFO incidents — now more technically known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) — to separate what is truly unusual in our skies from what is merely a trick of the eye.
In recent years, the term UAP has come into more common use to describe UFOs, as its more cautious framing presumes less about the events witnessed.
An aerial phenomena could be anything from airborne gases heated into a plasma, like the famous Northern Lights, to reflections off of ice crystals in a cloud, and on up to more exotic cases of actual, solid and sturdy objects, like a ‘flying’ alien craft.
The Montana witness spotted the UAP in the early hours of the morning on June 5, 2024, about ten minutes before 3am Mountain Time.
