Searching for a lost 90s video of a spinning potato-shaped UFO
As a child, I vividly recall my dad watching VHS tapes about UFO sightings, and there’s one specific clip that has stuck with me over the years. It featured a cylinder-shaped object—maybe resembling a potato—flying over a body of water, likely a lake. I remember it being silver and the footage was fairly clear, making the sighting quite convincing at the time. I think the object was spinning, but I could be mistaken.
I’ve been trying to find this footage for quite a while now, but it seems impossible to track down online. It was a well-known piece of evidence and was even referenced in various documentaries. As a kid, watching it gave me an eerie feeling; it was like witnessing something both terrifying and fascinating—all from a potato-shaped UFO. Does anyone else remember this footage?
That sounds like a really fascinating piece of footage! The description of a spinning, potato-shaped UFO over water definitely brings to mind a few popular sightings from that era. While I can’t pinpoint the exact video you’re referring to, there are several well-known UFO sightings from the 90s that often made the rounds in documentaries and VHS collections.
One possibility could be the “Tic Tac” UFO incident, which became popular later, but there were many other reported sightings involving cylindrical or oval-shaped objects. It might also help to check out forums or websites dedicated to UFO enthusiasts, as someone there might have a better memory of the specific footage.
If the footage was widely discussed, you might also find references to it in UFO-related books or articles from that time. Have you tried searching through old UFO documentaries or VHS compilations? Sometimes these collections resurface or get re-released, so it might be worth keeping an eye out for that.
Good luck with your search! It would be amazing to track down something so nostalgic and eerie.
