A massive cluster of unknown flying objects was spotted near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base amid the disappearance of a number of scientists.
Images were captured on April 8, showing a silent triangle of glowing lights moving in formation before splitting apart mid-flight.
A video was allegedly recorded in Rainbow Lakes, a 60-acre outdoor recreational retreat in Fairborn, which is about four miles from the base, the Daily Mail reported.
The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) has drawn attention recently, as its research laboratory was previously led by retired Maj Gen William Neil McCasland, 68, whose disappearance was reported earlier this year. He was reported missing from his New Mexico home on February 28, reportedly leaving with only hiking boots and a .38-caliber revolver.
McCasland worked at the Air Force Research Laboratory from May 2011 until his retirement in 2013. The site was also associated with UFO after alleged materials was recovered in the Roswell incident back in 1947.
Clips and images circulated on social media and users commented and shared their views. One user on X said the lights were “non-human intelligent orbs,” while another user on Reddit shared: “This is exactly what it looks like when parachuters have flares attached as they’re falling.”
“I agree that is what this looks like. A free-fall team, whether it be military or civilian, gets into their final descent stack after their chutes have already deployed,” another Reddit user said.
“My issue with this is that the cloud ceiling is super low. If this is a training jump, this low a ceiling would cause it to get pushed or canceled. Obviously, it is hard to get an ideal grasp on everything since the video is short and in low light. That said, it looks like we lose visual on the flares intermittently as they pass through the clouds.”
Back in February, US President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon and other US agencies to release “government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life”. Mr Trump also said he is directing the release of the files related to extraterrestrials and UFOs because of “tremendous interest” in the subject.
Mr Trump made the announcement in a social media post hours after he accused Barack Obama of disclosing “classified information” when the former US president recently suggested in a podcast interview that aliens are real.
“I don’t know if they’re real or not,” Mr Trump told reporters on Air Force One. And he said of Mr Obama: “I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.”
In a post on Truth Social on Thursday night, Mr Trump said he was directing government agencies to release files related “to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters”.
