A Cylinder-Shaped UFO Is Spotted Soaring Over Montana’s Big Sky Country — And Experts Say ‘It’s a True Mystery’

A bright, glowing UFO, a classic “cigar” shape that has been reported by witnesses for decades, has now been captured on military-grade night vision video.

The unknown, apparently slow and silent-moving object “looked like a blur to the naked eye,” according to the Montana resident who spotted it in June.

The blur only took on a more defined shape with the help 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 slide at an angle in front of a vast field of stars above ‘Big Sky Country’ – just before disappearing behind a mountain range visible from the witness’ location along Airport Road in Belgrade.

The sighting took place less than four miles 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 soars through the night sky.

“It looks a bit like Starlink satellites,” noted Alejandro Rojas, an advisor to technology startup Enigma Labs, whose UFO database received the witness’s data, “which look like a long line of satellites in a row.” But these look like one solid object’

“Sometimes we get videos like this that are mind-boggling,” said Alejandro Rojas, an advisor to technology startup Enigma Labs, whose UFO database received the witness’s submission.

“It looks a bit like Starlink satellites,” Rojas told DailyMail.com, “which look like a long line of satellites in a row. But these look like one solid object.”

Enigma has compiled a huge catalog of UFO incidents – now technically better known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) – to distinguish between what is truly unusual in our skies and what is just a trick of the eye.

In recent years, the term UAP has been increasingly used to describe UFOs, as the more cautious formulation assumes less about the observed events.

An aerial phenomenon can be anything from gases in the air heated into a plasma, such as the famous Northern Lights, to reflections from ice crystals in a cloud, and to more exotic cases of real, solid and solid objects, such as a ‘flying’ . alien vessel.

The Montana witness saw the UAP in the early morning hours of June 5, 2024, approximately ten minutes before 3 a.m. Mountain Time.

“We’re excited to make these videos public so investigators can help us figure it out,” Rojas told DailyMail.com via email.

“In some cases, they demonstrate a true mystery and help demonstrate why the Pentagon and NASA say they are taking UAP seriously,” said Rojas, who is now founder and chairman of the new UAP research organization. UAP detection.

“NASA and the Pentagon say there’s a lack of data, and that’s the problem we’re trying to solve,” Rojas explained.

Enigma Labs, he noted, “now gets hundreds of videos per week on our app, and while the vast majority appear to be something mundane, at least a few prove more difficult to explain.”

This Montana UAP sighting, Enigma Case #294125may turn out to be related to a certain quirk of the hardware and software behind SiOnyx’s night vision, which the company supplied to the US military as part of a contract worth approximately $20 million.

Some owners of one of SiOnyx’s consumer models, the SiOnyx Aurora Sport, have reported that it “does not handle high light contrast well.”

“If you have a well-lit area and a darker area in the image at the same time, the lit area is blown out or the dark area is too dark to see clearly,” said a member of the Reddit group r/Nightvision noted in 2020.

As a result, these kinds of ‘blown-out’ contrast problems could make a series of glowing Starlink satellites, which reflect light from the sun, look like one long, massive object.

The unknown and apparently slow and silent moving object, the witness said, “looked like a blur to the naked eye” and only took on a more defined shape with the help of his digital night vision camera – made by US military contractor SiOnyx (above one of SiOnyx’s cameras). night vision products)

It’s unclear which of the company’s night vision goggles was used by the witness, who anonymously reported his sighting to Enigma, but the UAP tracking startup hopes to crowdsource the case for more clues from the public.

But for more than a century, cigar-shaped UAPs have remained a staple category in eyewitness accounts.

For example, in 1977, fifteen children in the Welsh village of Broad Haven – fourteen boys and one girl – all reported to their teachers that they saw a strange silver-colored, cigar-shaped airplane in the fields behind their school.

The incident, which saw this object hovering over this small hamlet (population 856), is now the subject of a new four-part BBC documentary, Paranormal: The Village That Saw Aliens.

Like countless cigar-shaped UFOs dating back to the late 19th century, when witnesses described them as “airships,” this case remains unsolved to this day.

In May, the Enigma team unveiled nine highly unusual and never-before-seen videos of UFOs or UAPs – including several cases of glowing, blurry UFO ‘orbs’.

These videos, uploaded to Enigma’s database by citizen researchers in California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada, show UAP silently appearing out of nowhere and disappearing into thin air.

This week, Enigma shared another new video case with DailyMail.com: a sighting on June 8, 2024 from Watford City, North Dakota taken just after midnight.

“We were camping and someone saw a shooting star,” the witness told Enigma in his statement.

But, the witness continued, “after looking at it for a long time and throwing away anything else that (it) might be,” the campers eventually all became less certain that it was a shooting star, as the object the night above seemed to float. them.

“UAP is basically a numbers game,” Rojas noted.

‘If one in a thousand turns out to be strange, collecting them en masse is the best way to get to the studies that are worth doing.’
