Views Of Five Rotating and Spinning Plasmoid Orb UFOs / UAPs Up Close

The Compilation 

 

 

 

Los Angeles is considered to be a UFO “hotspot”, and I’ve been filming and researching mostly orb uap-ufo in the area since 2013.

Experiencing a uap / ufo sighting can be jarring. After my first major sighting I was all over the web trying to learn as much as I could about what I’d seen. While I did learn some about the phenomenon, I learned a hell of alot more about human nature. 

 

Capture #1 - 3.27.2018 - 5:06pm - Los Angeles

 

Most personal sightings posted on forums and social media were of orb uap, yet it was fascinating to watch how often people would automatically dismiss them as ‘balloons’…and did so quite angrily. (Why so angry?)

I worked hard to have compassion for those angry people who were obsessed with balloons. When it came down to it, they had a very limited frame of reference. They weren’t with me when I filmed them, and most had never had a sighting themselves. And I forgot that most of them usually think all UFO sightings only happen at night. So when confronted with a daytime sighting…especially the dark orbs, they immediately think balloon and start joking about Mylarian invasions...

From the Planet Mylar.

No…seriously… I’ve seen this.

 

Capture #2 - 1.6.2018 - 9:21am - Los Angeles

 

But when it came down to it, I felt it wasn’t always so easy to just dismiss every daytime sighting as a balloon. Most posted videos only showed the original point of view, but what did these objects look like closeup? Shouldn’t we try to discover that before just dismissing them as balloons?

 

Capture #3 - 1.11.2021 - 3:08pm - Los Angeles

 

Over time I’ve filmed several orb uap at a distance of between 500 to 1000 feet above. Whenever I noticed something that looked even slightly anomalous, I’d immediately pull out the phone and start filming…whether it ‘might’ look like a balloon or not.

Afterwards I would run the video thru editing software where I could take a closer look at its flight patterns, its shape and overall form. I could then crop, zoom in, slow down, adjust brightness, contrast, gamma and colour saturation, all of which help bring out more details of the anomaly.

I can’t tell you how many times filming the anomaly regardless of it ‘possibly’ being a balloon has later paid off as being an actual orb after running it through the editor and getting a closer look.

 

Capture #4 - 1.14.2025 - 3:03pm - Los Angeles

We rarely get to see what the orbs look like closeup.  What I’ve observed, is that while some of these objects might pulse, glow, change colour or change shape, some exhibit what looks like a spinning motion. Or, maybe…perhaps some have some kind of spinning field surrounding it.

The headline video above is a short compilation of five examples of orb uap / ufo which appear to ‘spin’. The samples span from 2017 to 2025, and provide a short glimpse into what some of these phenomena actually look like up close and while in action.

All but the fourth sample were filmed with iPhones. The fourth was filmed with a Nikon P900. 

 

Capture #5 - 4.21.2018 - 7:08am - Los Angeles

Oh…and let me emphatically say something here: these are not bokeh!

Its been speculated that the spinning I’m describing is the cameras auto-focus trying to focus in on the object. That’s not the case in these five examples.

I can think of a couple of instances of my other orb ufo captures in the past where the camera didn’t hold the focus, but when that happened, the entire object changed to a blur. Any blur in these examples come from the ‘movement’ of the object itself, not from an over active auto focus. Unfortunately digitally zooming in can create some blurriness and/or pixelation as well, but in the fifth case you still make out the rotation.

The descriptions of each one are listed below with links to the original views and edits of each sighting. There you can see more of the setting and location, and get a much better perspective on what was seen that day.

The Original Videos

 

#1

Spinning White Orb-UAP

Date: 3.27.2018

Time: 5:06pm

Location: Los Angeles

Wind: 14mph out of the SW

Recording Device: Apple iPhone SE

 

 

The first thing I noticed about this object was its odd flight pattern. It changes direction several times at quite sharp angles and turns.  Once in the editor, I noticed that not only did it often change shape when it would change direction, there was also a spinning field around it that made it almost look like it was rolling. 

 

 

#2

Spinning grey Orb-UAP on overcast day.

Date: 1.6.2018

Time: 9:21am

Location: Los Angeles

Windspeed: 3mph out of SE

Recording Device: Apple iPhone SE

This capture was on a very still overcast day. The object appeared maybe 500ft above…its hard to judge for sure. It hovered above with no sound. Only after running it through the editor did I notice the spinning motion. This is probably the best example of the five. 

 

 

#3

Spinning white Orb-UAP filmed thru fence.

Date: 1.11.2021

Time: 3:08pm

Location: Los Angeles

Windspeed: 9mph out of West

Recording Device: Apple iPhone 6

 

It was the same story here. I did my best to keep the object in frame, only noticing a bright object contrasting against the blue sky. Once in the editor I noticed the spinning motion. Except in this example it appears as though the entire object is spinning and maybe not a surrounding field. Notice the flatter disc shape in this example.

 

 

#4

Spinning Orb-UAP Splits in Two

Date: 1.14.2025

Time: 3:03pm

Location: Los Angeles

Windspeed: 9mph out of West

Recording Device: Nikon P900

This example is similar to #3 in that it appears as though the entire object is spinning. Its filmed with a Nikon p900 much further away than the others. And it splits into two objects at the top of its flight. 

 

 

#5

Early Morning Spinning Orb-UAP

Date: 4.21.2018

Time: 7:09am

Location: Los Angeles

Windspeed: No wind

Recording Device: Apple iPhone SE

This also looks like an example where the entire object is spinning, but this one changes colour a bit with blues and reds seeping in. It also has an appendage on the top that appears to be ‘twisting’ with the object.

 

Some Corroboration

After compiling the different examples, I had to do some research on who else could confirm that some orbs show a rotating field.  I found two.

Trevor James Constable established an archive of infrared images back in the 40s and 50s.  In his book Sky Creatures, he says:

“Spinning is perhaps the most common single motion attributed to UFOs. Discs aloft either spin or convey the illusion of spinning via moving light effects that are associated with them. There is therefore nothing unusual in finding associated with their propulsion a physical energy known to manifest with the spinning waveform or KRW. A disc surrounded by a spinning field of energy traces a KRW with that field as it moves through the atmosphere. The earth moves around the sun on a curving KRW. Typhoons and anticyclones trace KRWs through the ethers as they spin across the surface of the earth.”

Afterwards I found a much more recent source from a 2025 interview by Erica Gabrielle of Dr Andrew Morgan.  At about 1:02:18 he shows an enhanced video of an orb he filmed in the Pilbara area of Australia.  Its surface is spinning!

He explains:

(from the youtube transcript starting @1:01:52)

“Internally the structure  stays the same… it seems you've got the the the  layers….you got the vortex…you got the toroidal field…you got  the med field lines, but around the outside, we've  got now in quantum imaging and exploded imaging  an indexed valve of clocking that goes on.  And  this video on my YouTube channel, we've got some  video of this. We've got red dots. We've managed, um with color reduction and enhancement, uh using  waveform analysis. You can see this going on, that  the outside spins…”

Interesting to capture the same thing, but with daytime captures with iPhones or the Nikon and seen with a minimum of enhancement

So I’d say to the debunker that this is one good way to determine if an object is a balloon or actually an orb.  If its spinning on the surface, its certainly not a balloon.

 

Answering The Question - Why So Blurry???

A note about video resolution, blurriness, and capture quality:

The video captures above were mostly done with iPhones at 60 frames per second with one filmed with a Nikon p900. These cannot be planned. All were filmed on the fly. Was minding my business, looked up and saw what looked like could be an anomaly, and then pulled out the smartphone and started filming.

If I was able to keep the object in frame and in focus, I would try to zoom in as much as possible to capture more detail.

The Nikon has an optical zoom, where the zoom is accomplished by actual lenses.

Smartphones employ a digital zoom where software accomplishes the zoom.

When using a device with a digital zoom, you’re able to see more details of the object, but there is some loss of overall resolution.

Then when zooming in further in a video editor that can isolate a portion of the frame and zoom in, there is even more loss of resolution and some some pixelation can occur. BUT, you can still make out more detail whether its surface changes or spinning.

I mention this because there are A LOT of people who get on uap forums, groups and subs and loudly and rudely whine, complain and b*tch about videos experiencers have taken great pains to post.

“Why can’t anyone get off their exercise machine before filming these?” “Did you use a Nintendo Game Boy to film this?” “You’d think with all the 4k cameras we have out there, someone would shoot a clearer image.”

They get snarky and rude, and rarely ask the experiencer what they saw, when, or for any further details, and then somehow feel that being rude to the one actually bringing disclosure closer is going to magically create a crystal clear image, or perhaps discourage anyone from coming forward with their footage at all(?)

 

 

Well, sorry guys! We’re limited to how close the phenomena actually gets to us, limited by the haphazard nature of when they show up, and limited by the equipment and software we have to shoot and analyze them. All the difficulty capturing a clear image can’t be rectified by yelling at the experiencer for sharing what they have. 

 

 

Most of the ones being so rude have never had a sighting, much less tried to film one. But I would say, if they have some amazing solution for predicting a sighting so accurately that they can have their 4k infrared capable 50x optical zoom on a tripod ready to go when it comes, I’m all ears. Please come forward and share your techniques. No, really… Please.

The important thing to remember is this is a step.  I'm appreciative of the fact that if they were just stills, it would just look like a blob. The data provided above includes video, so at least one can make out how its actually moving, even if its not showing the 'clear' image we expect.  

 

In Conclusion

What the orbs actually are is anybody’s guess at this point.  I figure while some might be probes or of ET origin, I feel some are forms of energy or life we have not yet classified.  But I don’t know. To quote Phoenix Lights experiencer Dr. Lynne Kitei, “I don’t know what they are, but I know that they are.”

These are five examples of the orb ufos that appear to show a spinning motion or field. But these are not the only types or patterns I’ve observed and filmed.

There are also those which appear to spin and spark at right angles, change shape, and move in erratic patterns. I’ll do my best to put together more compilations including these types in the near future.

Where to from here?

 

 

 

 

After a little too much time has passed, I’m anxious to get back to posting on this blog.

Im still recovering from an accident which has made it much more difficult to write, so please bear with me. 

Where to from here?

I’ll be sharing more about specific orb UFO-UAP experiences I’ve had over time. 

I’ll be sharing some of the orb UFO-UAP data I’ve accumulated over the last several years.  This includes the varying types and different behaviours I’ve observed and filmed.

I’ll also attempt to discuss the various issues around the very complex topic of ‘disclosure’.  In the past several years I’ve been researching different angles of the topic, and there is so much more to it than the personality contests I see projected so much online. 

And maybe I’ll get into some deeper answers as to what the orbs are. 

And all the while I’ll do my best to keep it light hearted and fun.  Hope you enjoy.

Analyzing UFO Videos - Why That Utah "UFO" Footage Is Not a Bird - Falcon - Hawk

There are times in life where we get a little bit of confirmation...a quiet little message whispering, don't worry...you're not the only one.  And then I breathe a huge sigh of relief. 

I recently had this experience when I happened upon the much talked about filmmakers drone footage taken in Utah.  My mouth just dropped open.  Finally I was watching someone have a similar experience as I have been having...down to the type of objects being filmed.

And not only that, there were several researchers actually taking it seriously for a minute and discussing it, up, around and thru trying to understand what they are seeing. 

I take this a a bit of a personal victory and a-ha moment...now I get to "watch" prominent researchers go through the twists and turns of this rabbit hole like I have.  


Looks Like Several Luminous Daytime UFO Captures

I took a look at the original video on YouTube several times.  It had the characteristics of several daytime captures I have filmed of whitish objects over the last year. 

A Very Bright Object -  showing a luminousity during the daytime with a blue sky behind.  The light can be with reflective or white, or will actually change colour.
 
Can Exhibit Hover, Slow, or Extreme Speed Flight Characteristics - although there have been some that have hovered or moved relatively slowly, others will streak in and out of the frame extremely fast.   Several people will find captures like these in vacation videos...sometimes years later. 

The video featured above here was sent in by a friend.  A "white" object that changes shape streaks above the Thunderbirds demonstrating below.  I've heard people both call this a bug or cgi, even though it makes noise.  It is neither.  I include it to provide some context.  This also changes shape and moves extremely fast.

Change of texture - there can also a change of texture of the object.  Another way of saying it would be that the surface features of the object change, with spots, holes, ports, slats, and even fractal patterns manifesting. 

Unusual shape or changes shape - the object will often be spherical, cylindrical, rectangular, or may even have irregular angular features to it.  Several objects change shape as they maneuver as in this one. The video above is a good example of this.

So basically, from my experience, there is alot more to analyzing a video than just saying, "it has to be a bird" and then trying to justify the response by talking about camera chip technology.  From my experience, a film of a bird...well...looks like a bird.  You see movement, flapping, etc.  If it were a "still" photo, you have much less evidence to go on...but if you're filming, a bird has specific movements...even when its soaring.  

After listening to how some were analyzing this, I downloaded it and went thru my usual process.  I was anxious to see what other clues I found that others may not be mentioning yet. 



What I Looked At

Listened to the experiencer - Yes.  That's right.  Listen to the experiencers story! It makes a difference.  If the experiencer says they were filming a hovering object in a gusty wind, and someone rails on and on about that object being a "balloon", well...that person is not much of a researcher because he completely ignored the posters info. 

-Update-
In this particular case, they are Sam Chortek and Jimmy Chappie.  The above video is an interview with one of them, explaining the entire experience from filming to discovery.  I'm observing some "de-bunkers" making wild accusations about these two people--including Brian Hanley---yet none of them have bothered to interview them.  Why?

If the experiencer writes a description of the event, read it, or listen to it, and then ask questions if you can.  It may help tremendously. 


 

 Slow Motion

Slow it down - Often these objects go by SO fast that they are hard to see at first.  if you have the software to do so, slow it down and scrub the film frame by frame. (Click on Slow Motion to go directly to slo-mo section of video)

In the case of this Utah object, it starts from way back...

Then you can see the way it moves or flies.  We don't see any flapping but there does seem to be an angular movement to its right.


 

Zoom in closer - Zooming in closer allows me to check out features of the surface...even if they are pixelated.  

 Zoomed Stills

Zooming in also allows shape change and flight characteristics to be seen.  The above zoom shows how the object is literally vertical before banking left and buzzing the camera. (Click on "Zoomed Stills" link above to go directly to photos of object)
 

Brightness, contrast, gamma - can be adjusted to bring out more of the surface features of the object, or the overall shape of the object in general.  I'm still learning how to use these, so I am no expert by far. 


 

 

Emboss Section 

Emboss - this can be extremely useful as it gives a reverse impression of the object so you can more clearly see its actual shape.   (Click on "Emboss Section" to go directly to embossed version of object)

Object tipped to the left, almost completely vertical.

Object banks to the right

Clear view of object embossed.

In this case, the shape is more of a "Y" shape or that of a "flux capacitor" from Back to the Future than a bird.  



 

 

If this is in fact a bird, I think it warrants as much attention as a possible UFO as its the first bird ever discovered that actually flies sideways.  What kind of bird would that be?  Surely not an earth falcon or hawk.

Whatever the answer, the debate will continue, hopefully from several angles and points of view.  This is just the beginning. 
 
Update-
In the meantime, I am still "searching" for someone who knows even more about analyzing these kinds of videos.  What other software can be used?  How do we measure "spectra" data?  Is there a way to measure the type and degree and composition of the luminosity of one of these objects?  What other captures out there are similar to this one?  If I "were" trying to make sure it was not a cgi image, how else could I determine that?  

In other words, there are a zillion questions and ways to analyze these videos.

It helps to be patient and continue to be in "data gathering" mode and connect the dots little by little.  Also helps to avoid dramas like trying to dissect people's behaviour, motivations and psychology, accusing people of malcontent and "making money" and getting "publicity".  

Really, most are just trying to share a mind blowing experience.  


Listen to the interview above.  His voice shakes a bit when he talks about deciding to share it almost three years later.  

I remember when I found the Joshua Tree object (above) "after" the fact...  I looked at that thing hundreds of times, and got so freaked out that I had to put it away and not look at it for months until I finally pulled it out again and posted the footage.  

These events are weird...that's why experiencers eventually share them.  They need a little help processing the weirdness too.  Okay?  So calling them haoxers doesn't help anyone, least of all the one making the accusation.

Will Continue to Happen
This is happening a lot these days and will continue to happen as time goes on.  Analyze truthfully as possible and discuss, try not to remain attached, and keep your eyes open for more videos and sightings.  The answers will continue to flow.  

For the ones who are obsessed with hoaxes, cgi, negative human motivations, making money and publicity, and all the other accusations hurled at people who find themselves in this rabbit-hole...well...

...try it.  Go out and experiment.  Go out and film and see what you find.  People have experimented with this phenomenon and have been blown away at what they've seen.  It's not as uncommon as people think it is. Personal experience is everything....I encourage researchers to seek their own experiences. 

The Dark Orb UFOs & Thoughts On "Restoring Civil Discourse" Discussing UFO Disclosure..or Anything Else For That Matter

A "dark orb" UFO over Hollywood

My intent was to connect and listen to the stories of other experiencers who have witnessed and filmed sky anomalies. 

I live in a “hot spot” so to speak, and since 2013 I’ve been semi-regularly capturing UFOs/UAPs/Sky Anomalies on video.  And I'm not the only one.  There are several out there who are keeping an eye on the skies for unusual phenomenon.  I wanted to connect with some of them and compare experiences.

I thought my prayers had been answered after discovering a short documentary on YouTube produced by a guy who started an online discussion group based upon approaching the UAP phenomenon from a “scientific perspective”.

This appeared it would be a tremendous breath of fresh air…especially after having navigated the comments sections of YouTube channels and various UFO forums where people delight in…well…not even talking about the subject at all, much less approaching it from a scientific perspective.

I Was Just Sharing an Experience -- Everyone Has A Story, Right?

Over time, I’ve gotten very careful to explain these experiences with this "odd stuff" as just that…an experience that presents lots of questions that I and many others are still trying to figure out.

Although it is a "possibility", I in no way advocate or claim that any of my captures are of extraterrestrial craft....yet no doubt many online comment factories/troll farms will "default" to accusing me of this.

Embossed Version of Triangular UFO-Orb Formation - Joshua Tree Retreat Center

They could be a natural phenomenon, some kind of energy mass, an energy or light being of "SOME KOIND" (a shout out to David Hatcher Childress), a luminous object from some Earth origin where most humans don’t go, or perhaps even some of our own advanced technology.  Certainly, they COULD be ET…but once again…I don’t know that.

Luminous UFO over Hollywood

White "Eyeball" Orb (l) and Luminous UFO (r) over Hollywood

 Some of them literally look like daytime captures of "orbs".

All I know is that I've often captured something highly unusual that doesn't move in a conventional way, is often luminous, changes shape and texture, and has a way of showing up in what seems to be intelligent or connected "patterns".  Most, to all of these captures have had some kind of story behind them…often showing a kind of synchronicity that just can’t be “planned”.

The synchronicity associated with so many of these video captures is very difficult to "get to"  in comments of a forum when all people want to pay attention to is whether or not something is "cgi" or a mistaken balloon.

Still of First "Dark Orb" UFO Sighting - August 2017

So the idea of sharing with a group that was approaching this scientifically sounded like a fresh start.

I had some data to draw from.

And, having attended a service academy where the core curriculum was math, science and engineering, and having experience in satellite operations, I felt fully prepared to speak "scientifically", fully expecting those participating in this online group with the "scientific approach" in mind to do the same.

This includes starting with a hypothesis, deciding on a regimen of experimentation, setting that up, gathering data from any and all perspectives, and then forming a conclusion.  The "catch" is that you may have to repeat this process several times to feel like you've actually gotten anywhere.

"When someone answers an informational question with a personal attack, they are trying to control you."

"If someone changes the subject and immediately blames you or a whole group of people for something, they are trying to control you. "

"They are trying to take your energy."

"Attacking someone doesn't inform you or feed you.  In fact, remaining mired in un-needed conflict is a form of bondage."  

"You don’t give yourself any time to create anything else."

Not what they seemed…

After being "accepted" to this group, I read several posts and waited several months before submitting my own post.

I wasn’t necessarily seeing what I expected yet.  There were articles and a few videos of sightings here and there, but none of the ones that I saw were posted by the actual experiencer.  It seemed to be more centered on posting videos from a third party, and then asking….”what do you think?”…not really generating a lot of responses.

There was, what you could call, a "red flag"...when one of the main moderators of the group went after a prominent UFO researcher, severely questioning his credibility and accusing him of "drinking the koolade".  I had never heard this researcher say anything extreme...and when it came down to it, no links, evidence, anecdote, or argument was supplied to back up his claims.  I was baffled...and looked extensively through the group forum to see what else had been said.  Apparently I didn't look enough?  Nothing.

Looking back, perhaps I should have waited longer…but I was very excited about a capture of an anomaly that seemed to be very much connected to two previous captures of dark, shape changing objects slowly moving in front of an overcast sky.  I felt it was an appropriate time to share.

The Dark Orb UFOs

The oddity of these captures seemingly being "connected" takes some time to explain, and I felt assured I’d be given the opportunity to do so in a UFO/UAP group centered on the “scientific approach”.  After all, that “approach” includes forming a hypothesis, gathering data and then analyzing it within some "agreed upon" framework…

When all was said and done, this rather strange capture was very “connected”.  Something else was going on here…and I was happy to encounter a group who have all acknowledged by their “presence” in that group that they are serious about listening, asking questions, and even showing other captures to compare.

The "hypothesis" was this:  SOME UFO videos...not all, are in fact videos of some kind of "orb" or energy mass that manifest in our 3-d world.  Some "may" appear as balloons at first, but when zooming in one can see a noticeable energy field, movement, and "change of shape".  They look and move like orbs, and can be bright and luminous or dark grey and black with a notable changing field. 

I'll attempt to do a better job at explaining this time and start with my "first" capture of the "dark orb" ufos. 

The First Time

The first time I captured one of these 'dark orb' objects in daylight was in August of 2018, underneath the clouds during an overcast day.

I was out back to stretch a bit after a stressful day, and from behind the right side of the building I looked towards the building across the street.

There was a dark object in the sky moving slowly towards the east.  At first I thought someone was "punking" me by setting off a balloon to see if I would film it, but as I continued to watch, it moved very much unlike a balloon...I started to film anyway.  It continues to move eastward, at times stalls, and then will look like its literally squeezing itself into accelerating forward. 

Closeup of "Dark Orb" UFO - Notice the texture change.

In the last third of the opening shot, you can see how this object seems to pause for a few moments before suddenly changing shape and acclerating eastward.  During that entire time, you can see it morph from a square / diamond shape with specific "designs" or "patterns" to more of a "football" shape when it starts to accelerate.

Look at the captures and the change of shape at different stages.

 These are all the same object.

I went out front to capture as much as I could.  It was still up there.  I filmed another few minutes.

Look at the still captures and the change of shape at different stages.  These are all the same object.

Here is an example of shape, texture and color change during the last third of the experience.  It would hover and move very slowly towards the east...but after several moments would slightly accelerate while changing shape from a diamond to more of a football.  Notice the colour change as well.

The Andy Warhol inspired tiles above from different frames of the capture show this.

And I say again, there were at least three other people on the street at the time and no one looked up at all, even the guy who stopped a moment to notice I was filming the sky.  He just looked at me for a moment...

...and then went back to the business of his phone. 

It Happened Again

Surprisingly, I captured this type of object again about five months later during the first week of January, 2018.

Second Encounter with a "Dark Orb" UFO

It looked quite similar to the last dark orb ufo capture...  It was another overcast day, and this dark object could be seen slowly moving towards the east.

This object didn't change colour as much as the last one, but was still very dynamic in the way it changed shape and the way it shows what looks like a visual "torsion field" during the course of the capture.

This one changes shape from a double diamond to a rectangle and back again.

I had all kinds of questions now…especially having seen these happen a few months apart.

I wondered if anyone else had captured anything similar.  

That was the nature of the beginning of this journey in the first place...

I've always been grateful for people who post their experiences with these sky anomalies, because I think they provide a comparison and possible reference point for your "own" experiences.  

The rate of these reports continues to increase, so it may only be a matter of time until you've just had your own experience, and you're looking for a frame of reference beyond just the story.

I had already found an online video of a capture in Italy of something that looked very, very similar to these things...so I went on a search for it.

I Did Find Other Captures That Looked Similar 

And I was grateful these people had posted because it acted as a reference point for me, and others that these had been seen elsewhere. 

This doesn't necessarily mean they were the same object.  It doesn't mean someone didn't successfully cgi something close somewhere else.  But they still act as a reference.

Observe more small details of what they really look like in flight by slowing down the videos.

Ruetlingen, Germany

I wondered how many other people out there had captured dark orbs like this?

I wondered if they ever showed up in a group...or any kind of formation. 

I had captured a group of orbs forming a perfect triangle in the past...but they were in front of a blue sky and luminous.  Was it possible to see the same thing with these "dark orb" objects?  A formation of sorts???

And Then There Were "Three"...

You can imagine the conflicting emotions and thoughts going in on my mind when this happened.

It was two months and five days after I had captured the second dark orb ufo on film.

I was walking eastward and heard a helicopter.   That was the original reason I looked up…  

As plain as day, there were a formation of three of these things.

A group of three "Dark Orb" UFOs

I thought they may have been balloons at first, didn't see any visible strings holding them together...but filmed anyway to see if there was anything else I could learn from the film.

Thankfully I did so…because on closer inspection it was clear to me that these weren’t balloons but a group of three of these dark orbs hovering around each other.

After closely examining them…zooming in, looking at embossed versions, slowing it down, noticing no strings whatsoever, and comparing it with the other captures, including a reference video from Robert Freeman, I concluded that these weren’t a clump of three balloons.  

They appeared to me to be a set of three "dark orbs"...very much like the single dark orbs I had captured earlier.

I had seen a couple of captures from documentaries that were similar…a set of six and a set of two…  They move and look similarly.

They also move differently than balloons. 

Balloons bounce, buffet, and continually move with the currents of the air.  

You’ll see continual changes in pitch and banking.  You’ll see continual rocking back and forth and left to right.  

There’s little mistaking a balloon once you’ve seen how they move….but the trick is to really “look” at it.  That’s why I went through pains to zoom in close and slow down the video…so that people can see the distinct difference in movement.

Notice the texture change.

Also, when you zoom into the objects, you can see ports and holes open and close as it goes by.  There is literally a shape and texture change.  Just like the photos in the first two experiences above, each object changes shape and texture.  Closely looking at the photos of the "three", the same thing is happening.

Now let me make something clear...

I was posting this on a discussion group people "willingly" join because they are interested in the subject of UFOs\UAPs\Sky Anomalies.  Please understand this.

I understood this.  I was certain the members of the group understood this.

I was NOT forcing this on anybody.

I wasn’t, say...for instance...out in the middle of the 101 freeway, doing backflips covered in guacamole with firecrackers yelling at the top of my lungs that I had seen and filmed a UFO.

I wasn’t out on a public sidewalk, jumping in front of people with a mobile device to force them to look at one of my films. 

I was in no way imposing on this group's “free will”.

So I couldn't for the life of me understand why, without asking a single iota of a question, a few people who I thought were coming from a "scientific approach" needed to immediately "act out" so angrily.

A Pathetic Attempt to Smear

One of my disappointments with the average online "forum" is that people avoid the original topic, and then literally "change the subject" to willingly create conflict.

I ran directly into the same thing, right off the bat with this..."scientific" group, but with a reckless viciousness I had yet to see in any online interchange. 

A supposed research "heavyweight" from the group....one with supposedly over 30 years experience researching UFOs...went to my Facebook page, grabbed a screen shot from ANOTHER UFO capture, and then posted it to the group with a comment that went something like:

Closeup of Los Angeles UFO - March 2013

“if you keep posting crap like this, you’ll be booted from the group”

Wait…. What just happened???!!  

Closeup of Los Angeles UFO - March 2013

I never posted that photo to the group…this absolute “stranger” just did…

Closeup of Los Angeles UFO - March 2013

and with no intention whatsoever to discuss anything.  It was just a completely unhinged attack that had nothing to do with my original post on the "dark orb" ufos.

Then he went on to say how it looked like an "out of focus plane" and that all my captures look like "out of focus planes".

Closeup of Los Angeles UFO - March 2013

Well….that “out of focus” plane changed shape several times and hovered in one spot for at least ten minutes…

...AND it was a completely different UNRELATED experience that happened in 2013.

Closeup of Los Angeles UFO - March 2013

But somehow, that didn't matter.  This self appointed leader of the group became obsessed with attacking and belittling...pretty much for the sake of...well...attacking.  

I went round and round with him trying to get some frame or thread of a discussion but he frankly sounded possessed by an energy he couldn't control.  The attacks didn't even have a logical flow after awhile as he was flailing to say anything that might be offensive!

How going into emotional hysterics is the "scientific approach" is beyond me. 

"I Didn't Need To Watch The Video..."

The next one to respond pretty much solidified that this "group" was the completely wrong place to be.  

Paraphrasing, he writes something to the effect of...“I didn’t even watch the video… Even a three year old could tell those were balloons.”

WOW…

So not only did this guy just change the subject to how “three year olds” process information, he just admitted to NOT EVEN WATCHING THE VIDEO!

Isn’t an important part of the “scientific approach” to actually LOOK AT THE DATA?  

Even a "three year old" would watch the video...  

Even a "three year old" would look at the friggin' data!

It Got Much Worse

I did my best to put the sighting into context with the other ones, but by then most of the members who were participating were in such a "balloon" trance, they could barely focus on anything else.  It became a mob scene. 

One went on and on about how many balloons he estimated must be in the skies in the Southern California area.  30 thousand?  40 thousand?  They provided no "data" for this whatsoever, but as long as they can say "balloon" enough, that just changes reality SO much that planes can barely approach and land into LAX because of the sea of balloons...right?  Could we please stay on topic?

Several posted photographs and videos of balloons...all with strings...all bouncing and buffeting in the air...none looking what I or the others above have captured....  What was the point?  

Then of course you had the stupid gifs with people shaking their heads in disappointment or implying that you're crazy...and on and on it went...

I would logically respond to accusations...

I tried posting the earlier captures, including this one below that hovered above me and changed shape for quite some time.

This capture is mesmerizing as far as I'm concerned.  You can see what looks like a spinning field.  No balloon does that, nor hovers in the same place for ten minutes.

Nope...

They didn't discuss anything.

They did post numerous memes, videos of mylar balloons, and pictures of balloons along with the occasional comment like..."maybe you'll shoot a sky anomaly one day" (I've captured several)…"it doest matter if you don’t see strings" (or see an energy field, etc?)…"its a blurry capture" (therefore they have to be balloons?)…and you have the burden absolute PROOF they are 'extraterrestrial' and not balloons. (Now for anyone to post anything...we must have absolute PROOF?  I thought we were still gathering and analyzing???)

After about an hour of this, I was completely done.  There wasn’t much else I could do without wasting an incredible amount of time and wallowing in a lot of negative energy…energy I would rather avoid.  An angry mob pretending to be a serious research group.

Humans can do better than this, but there has to be a will to do so.  I wasn’t into waiting around for people to learn, nor into answering every single balloon meme and photo.  Where on Earth was I?  A 3 year old would know?  A 3 year old would initiate a more adult-like discussion.

I tried to find personal experience posts from others in the group.  I figured people there were having their own experiences and filming them.  I found very, very few.

But when I saw the post that basically provided a several column list of supposed "hoaxers and misinformers" on the web, I was done.  I had seen all I needed to see.  

No wonder people couldn't get their minds off "balloons", nor the need to accuse someone of passing them off for UFOs.

That was enough to show me the group was never intent on freely discussing this subject.  

It looked more like the intent was to "police" people who did.  Why would researchers and other experiencers act as "gatekeepers" for other experiencers?  It doesn't make sense...it didn't need to. 

I made it clear I wasn't coming back.  

I needed to take a step back and try to understand this, though.

Why did this seem increasingly difficult to discuss with the "same people" who "say" they want to discuss it?

In One Form Or Another, This Is Happening Everywhere

I was upset, but I figured there were a number of ways to look at this.

"Orb" captured while filming 'dark orb' ufo - August 2017

"This wasn't my first rodeo", either...to repeat what a well meaning member expressed as it was clear I wasn't going to "deny my experience and research" because of the mob scene that ensued.

I had already seen this behavior before on online forums of all kinds...with a special venom saved for ones dealing with Exopolitics and UFOs.

"Orb" captured while filming 'dark orb' ufo - August 2017

I had to also consider what I had just seen before and during our last presidential election.  I was watching exactly the same thing unfold.  Its still happening.

Large swaths of people are yelling slogans and "talking points" at each other...but they aren't talking about anything...  Have you noticed?? 

"Orb" captured while filming 'dark orb' ufo - August 2017

You rarely hear any ideas or solutions for fixing anything.  They just create anger, project blame,  demand more allegiance from themselves to some authority...and then repeat.

Its an addiction that's reaching "critical mass"...

"Orb" captured while filming 'dark orb' ufo - August 2017

Attacking someone doesn't inform you or feed you.  In fact, remaining mired in un-needed conflict is a form of bondage.  

You don’t give yourself any time to create anything else.

The thrill of "debate"

I remember when I discovered the thrills of “debate”.

I had just moved from Germany to Texas...yes I know that sounds like a setup for a joke...was looking for an extra-curricular involvement...and really wanted to learn how to express myself more freely. 

I was "recruited" into this beautiful group of people and started public speaking and debating.  

When you debate on that level, you find out how good it feels good to win an argument.  If you were able to "win" by also bringing out information that might benefit everyone, it was a bonus.  Corroborated information can be extremely empowering.  

And yes, reciting an argument when you know that you have the "upper hand" is a tremendous rush.

A lot of the skill was thinking on your feet...yet there was also a huge element of being prepared with evidence.  That meant that there were endless hours of research and evidence gathering to get as knowledgeable about the subject as possible.  

You couldn't do the "thinking on your feet" without doing the necessary ground work in research first.

Many People Largely Mistake the "Purpose" of Arguing 

Unfortunately, many people have left out the "research" step in making an argument, and are merely happy enough just making an argument period.  Some flat will NOT do research...kind of like the guy who admitted to making a conclusion without even watching the video.  

This lack of research eventually creates a level of discomfort in that person...so much so that they literally forget there was a discussion ABOUT a SUBJECT to begin with.  They forget the subject ever existed...and just focus attacking the other person.  

Deep down underneath they feel if they attack the person and try to destroy their credibility, then they have "won" an argument...where in reality all they did was show their own insecurity as a person, confirm the really 'don't' know what they are talking about, and most likely tried to bully you into how and 'what' to think.  

They attack their thinking, not the argument.  They attack their character, not the case.  They attack their credibility and project untruths about them. 

To many people, this feels just as good or better than actually winning an argument.  It's their version of "winning".  But its actually just bringing the vibration down so that you end up actually talking about "nothing".

This combative form of interchange might be a "rush", but it doesn’t accomplish anything.  It just creates a vortex of fear and anger.  

No "new information" can really come out in this environment.

When the focus has been switched to who gets “owned”…and not what they are saying, it's just another form of taking each other's energy.  Just another form of tribal warfare.

When people can't even agree on what the subject is...we've reached critical mass, and we may need to take a moment and look at where we are going.  To look at what we are creating.  To find out what other small pieces of the puzzle others might have.

All this relates to my experience in that it was clear this particular online group didn't even agree on what a UFO was.  There was no agreement on what they were actually looking for.  

"Which" scientific data?  

Are we looking a purely "metal in the sky" or maybe also an energy form?

The capture above shows a "luminous white orb" exhibiting many of the flight characteristics reported by people of UFO flight...notably the sudden cutting of corners, turning at right angles, etc.   No bird flies like this, and an insect would have to be luminous and very large to capture this with an iphone.



Very recently, I ironically captured one of these objects "way out there" while filming the moon with a Nikon P900 in the clip below.  The morphing looks similar...

Just in my recent research, I have seen a few people who have captured these kinds of orbs as well.  They are related to the dark ones...somehow...  Are they perhaps a different manifestation of the same kind of energy?

Energy Dynamics 

To have a group talking about "science" just to run into the reality show bully and victim game "again" felt like a huge disappointment.

"Energy Vampires" only begins to describe the majority of who participated on that particular thread. 

A good deal of these people are demanding "disclosure" in the realm of UFOs and Exopolitics.  They are demanding that secrets be revealed...

My opinion is that they largely aren't ready for it because it requires patience and attention to detail.

Remaining mired in tribal warfare leaves little time or space for the new information to come in.  You just don't have time. It's constricting.

"Double Orb" UFO

A good rule of thumb could be:

When someone answers an informational question with a personal attack, they are trying to control you.

If someone changes the subject and immediately blames you or a whole group of people for something, they are trying to control you. 

They are trying to take you energy.

They are consciously or unconsciously trying to bring your vibration down.

A mass of people blaming and attacking without thought is "wartime" thinking which only creates war.  Veterans old and young sacrifice to avoid war being brought to our shores...JUST so that we can create it amongst ourselves???  Please tell me that's not the case.

When people are literally manipulating and taking your energy, its a good time to step back and decide if continuing to interact is within your best interest.  

Despite my "fuzzy plane" attacker claiming to be a "man of God" with his Bible expertise, at one point I had to detach because his actions and words were so completely vile and NOT Christian...the toxicity was overwhelming.  Just because someone tells you they belong to a "club" and call themselves a "researcher" doesn't really make them a researcher or an expert.

Don't give your power away.

I had to take a break.  I went outside and went into nature.  The energy in nature is unconditional.  Its replenishing.  

Sounds like the person obsessed with attacking me needed to do the same thing. 

So How Do We "Know" When We Know The Truth?  The Gift of Enki

I understand how challenging this all is.  With our technology we have SO much information at our fingertips.

How do we know what's true???

If we are honest with ourselves, we all have the capacity to "know" the truth.

Many of the "avatars" of our modern religions carry this message.  The truth is within.  When you get quiet and go within, you can access the truth.

I have as much of a challenge as anyone else getting quiet.... There are so many distractions.  So I have to constantly remind myself to find time for quiet and forms of meditation.

Meditation is "facilitated" in a calm and relaxed environment.

You know what else is "facilitated" in a calm and relaxed environment?

People discussing a subject.

When people are sharing their experiences in a relaxed environment where they can be themselves, NEW INFORMATION COMES TO LIGHT THAT BENEFITS BOTH PARTIES!!!

Also maybe check out kinesiology, muscle testing, meditation, and retreat to condition yourself to what the truth "feels" like.  To allow yourself to hear it from within.  I'm no expert.  I'm working on this as well. 

Debate facts, not whether all "insert group here" think the same way.

There are more than two sides to every story...so find out the information that lies in the grey areas.  I even heard a prominent reporter FINALLY recently admit they (the news) often play the "two sides" game to our detriment.  

He's right.

Don't buy into the "two sides" bs. 

Share Your Experience With Other Experiencers

And if you have an experience, share it.  Written or videotaped.

Both give other experiencers an informational reference.  There are many objects out in our skies, and they are quite diverse, and there are several experiencers out there that would like some kind of verification.

Experiencers need to hear it from other experiencers...not just "so called" researchers.

Posting these videos...the thoroughly vetted ones... is a service to others...

No...its not just about getting "clicks" as so many love to accuse and lambaste. 

No....UFO contactees don't have houses in Bel Air and Beverly Hills...from all of their money.

No...you don't get a "prize".

But you may help another person confirm they are not crazy.

And there is a tremendous sense of satisfaction when you find other videos that look just like your video,  especially when you have the clueless ones calling them fake.   

There you know...several viewers don't have a clue what to even look for. 

These experiences will most likely continue to happen with more and more people.  Be there for each other....it lessens the space where others may try to create conflict and distraction.  

Do The Research

As far as I'm concerned, the "scientific method" requires that you've tapped as many disciplines possible before you even start to make a conclusion.  Everything from geomancy to channeling could be included.

But the point is we need to do the research.

I didn't have the time after my first dark orb experience, but since then I've been able to do more research into these captures...and I'm grateful I have.  

Several people have seen and captured these "dark orb" objects on film...including a dear friend who captured the above video in Alabama where a dark orb UFO meets with a light orb UFO in what looks like a Mothership Cloud.  

I was astonished to find all the ones below, including a couple of mine from the past that I had completely forgot about.

And this one below shows a "dark orb ufo" with a blue sky that I captured while filming the moon in Joshua Tree National Park.  

And I can't tell you the incredible satisfaction I felt after finding this one...!

Wait...what's that over Lake Erie???  Three Dark Orb UFOs???  Exactly like my capture of the "three".

Let me see if I can find any more "told ya so's" in my pocket.....

But this doesn't mean we know what the "dark orb" ufos actually are yet.  

Back to more research.  

A Last Thought

If you "want to go there", one prominent contactee shared this....that there are those ets who want to be of assistance, but they won't fix our problems for us.  They say that  all of the answers to our problems are right here...  The knowledge is already here.  We all have a small piece of the bigger picture.  So maybe there is something to relaxing with others stories and so we can begin to figure more of this out?

Think about that...


Update: 21 January 2019

There is still quite a bit of discussion about the "drones" spotted at Gatwick Airport. 

From the only capture I've been able to attain below...not yet verified...the object looks very similar to the ones I write about in this post. 

I might try a follow-up article on this, analyzing the Gatwick footage closer to see if we might observe the same characteristics.
