Top 10 Recent UAP Mysteries

#10: Orbs Witnessed Near Lockheed Martin Facility

On January 12, 2025 orbs were sighted in Colorado near a Lockheed Martin facility, according to multiple witnesses. Allegedly, there was no sound observed by the witnesses, and they ruled out both Starlink and drones. According to reports, the UAP were forming different shapes as they would disappear, and reappear. A video of the sighting was posted to Instagram on January 26. Some local residents even shared similar experiences in the comments, indicating the mystery is not exclusive to 2025. For instance, on June 5, 2024 there was a report of an object several hundred feet long in the early morning Colorado skies, witnessed by about a dozen folks working at the Red Rock Amphitheatre.

#9: Sightings Across Fresno

In January of 2025, there were multiple unexplained sightings in the skies of Fresno, California - some made by pilots! One of these sightings was a strange light captured by the Fox 26 News Channels tower camera and sent to the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON. They ruled out space launches and planets or stars, calling it an interesting capture based on the movement of the object. Four days later, the Fresno Tower received a call from two pilots requesting information because an unknown object was following one of the pilots at 3500 feet. The Fresno Police Helicopter was even called to investigate.

#8: UAP Reported by Pilot in Oregon

On December 7, 2024 pilots flying in the skies of Oregon reported mysterious lights to Air Traffic Control. One pilot described them as moving in a corkscrew pattern. During the exchange, Air Traffic Control actually referred to the UAP as a UFO, which is something you dont hear everyday. This interesting report led NBC News Gadi Schwartz to interview Ryan Graves, an Ex Lieutenant US Navy, F/A-18 Pilot and Co-Founder of Americans for Safe Aerospace, to get his expert opinion. Graves mentioned this has been an ongoing thing for pilots over the years, and as the stigma lifts it allows more pilots to report some of the strange things theyre seeing in our skies.

#7: Flight Crews Experience with UAP Over the Bahamas

On December 23, 2024 a flight crew witnessed a glowing, spherical object in the skies over the Bahamas. Cassandra Martin, one of the flight attendants present that day, claims to have overheard the traffic controller say we have a foreign object, can you please identify. According to Martin, the pilot saw multiple objects, though she reported seeing only one. She even stated that there were several other aircraft who also reported witnessing the UAP. She was able to take a video via her phone through the window of the private jet and the object appeared to change color. Whatever it was, it stayed with them for about 45 minutes, then suddenly disappeared.

#6: Underwater UAP?!

In January of 2025, during an interview with Matt Gaetz, Representative Tim Burchett alleged that an Admiral told him about an object the size of a football field reportedly moving hundreds of miles an hour underwater. According to Burchett this is a documented case. Luis Elizondo, who claims he was the head of the Department of Defenses Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, also shared his thoughts regarding underwater UAP on the Joe Rogan Podcast in 2024. Elizondo says he was once told about an object that moved hundreds and hundreds of knots underwater and was bigger than our submarine. These two instances seem very similar, indicating its not only in our skies that were seeing these mysterious unidentified phenomena.

#5: Three-Nights of UAP Witnessed - Tianjin International Airport, China

In September 2024, there were three back-to-back nights of sightings of unidentified flying objects at the Tianjin International Airport in China. Because of these sightings, which began on September 11th, the airport cancelled many flights. Officially, China has stated that these objects were drones, though the citizens continue to question this explanation for many reasons, including the length of time that the objects were able to remain in flight - as much as ten hours! The next night, security measures were increased but that didnt stop the objects from returning and causing flights to circle without being able to land. On the third night, September 13th, witnesses described seeing four to five of the same objects, despite the airports increased security measures!

#4: Shape-Shifting UAP Spotted in Florida

On March 22, 2025 a mysterious object was spotted changing shape in the skies above Green Cove Springs, Florida around 4 pm, in broad daylight. This event was recorded and posted across social media. The Naval Air Station Jacksonville, located about 15 miles from the sighting, had announced training exercises beginning that day and advised residents to expect an increase in aircraft activity and noise. However, the object that was recorded allegedly produced no noise! There were actually 34 reports of UAP across the state of Florida from March 1 to the 19th, according to the National UFO Reporting Center.

#3: Egg-Shaped UAP Video Release

In January 2025, News Nation independently obtained and subsequently released a video of an egg-shaped UAP allegedly retrieved from a secret UAP Craft Retrieval Program. The object appears smooth with no markings and no visual indications of propulsion. This exclusive video release was discussed across social media. According to News Nations Ross Coulthart, US Air Force Veteran Jake Barber described the object in extraordinary detail to the Senate during a 4 ½ hour testimony. This was also the object Barber referred to in his previous News Nation whistleblower interview.

#2: Whistleblower Reveals Alleged UAP Retrieval Program

In 2024, Jake Barber, considered a whistleblower by many, was interviewed by News Nation and revealed allegedly secretive UAP Craft Retrieval Programs from his own first-hand experience. According to Barber, he was a helicopter pilot contracted to retrieve craft. Barber told News Nations Ross Coulthart that an egg-shaped craft - which might be familiar if youve been paying attention - was not human. Over the last few years, prior to Barber speaking out, other whistleblowers like Luis Elizondo and David Grusch have also alleged the existence of secretive UAP retrieval programs. Barbers interview was heavily discussed on social media, before and after it aired.

#1: Skywatcher and the Jellyfish UAP

Jake Barber is part of Skywatcher - an organization which he describes as a privately-funded elite team of aerial intelligence experts and scientists. According to their X profile, this group was founded by former military and intelligence professionals to provide advanced aerial intelligence and protection systems. So far, Skywatcher has released two videos based on two 2025 events so far via their YouTube channel, revealing the data theyve been able to gather regarding UAP - including what they call a jellyfish type! Other types of UAP have been discussed by Barber - from a vibrating crystal to a pulsating blob to orbs. So far theyve created a classification system with nine types of UAP. As more data is gathered by Skywatcher, even more types may be discovered!
