[Serious] Shining Cylindrical UFO: My Footage and Account

[Serious] Bright Cylindrical UFO: My Footage and Experience

Date: February 15, 05:08 AM
Location: Avenida Faria Lima, São Paulo, Brazil

Hello, I’m 27 and currently living in Brazil. This post includes my video footage and personal account of an extraordinary event. English isn’t my first language, so thank you for your understanding as I do my best to convey my experience.

Introduction

Yes, it’s another shaky video captured on an iPhone, but witnessing the event in person was a completely different experience. The camera may distort the distance, but the wonder I felt as I stepped onto my balcony was indescribable. I was in awe, and while I struggled to film it, my priority was to absorb the moment with all my senses.

I’m sharing my account primarily for two reasons. Firstly, I believe it’s important to document experiences like this, especially if we aim for greater transparency. Secondly, I hope my footage reaches knowledgeable individuals who can analyze it and provide insights I might miss. I think that individual testimonies, paired with evidence, should form the foundation of discussions about UAPs.

About Me

I was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, where I’ve spent most of my life. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in business. In my childhood, I was a devoted Christian, praying every night and feeling a deep connection to God. However, my perspective changed in high school as I explored various subjects such as chemistry, physics, biology, psychology, history, and philosophy, which ultimately led me to become an atheist. Since then, I’ve approached life with a skeptical mindset, finding comfort in my understanding of reality.

My interest in UAPs began when I saw reports from the New York Times. I started to meticulously follow the topic, applying a critical lens to every piece of evidence I encountered, from common sightings to the most bizarre accounts. While I’ve always accepted the statistical possibility of extraterrestrial life, the experiences shared by people like Commander David Fravor convinced me that the phenomenon is genuine and not merely advanced technology from another nation.

That said, what I witnessed didn’t alter my beliefs; I am neither more nor less convinced than before. I had already explored this subject thoroughly, and I feel fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time to experience it firsthand. I’m grateful to have seen something I thought I might never witness in my lifetime.

The Sighting

After a week of work, I decided to unwind on Friday night (February 15) with some gaming, a much-needed break. I lost track of time and ended my session well after 4 AM. As was my habit, I rolled a joint before bed and stepped onto my balcony around 5 AM.

The moment I stepped outside, I noticed something glowing in the sky. My balcony faces the financial center of São Paulo, and there’s a stalled residential building next to mine (visible in the video). I live on the 20th floor, with two floors above me, and this halted building is slightly taller.

Upon looking up, I felt a wave of shock—not from fear, but from the instant recognition that this was unlike anything I had seen before. It was not a plane, drone, balloon, searchlight, or anything else I could think of. I’m quite familiar with aircraft, and I’ve observed various aerial objects, so I knew immediately this was different.

What I saw was a cylindrical, glowing object silently hovering above the stalled building. It had no wings, rotors, or smoke tail. The light it emitted was bright white, with a shimmering quality that fluctuated. On reviewing my footage, I noticed it appeared greenish in some frames and purplish in others, suggesting it was rapidly shifting through the light spectrum.

In-person, the details were far more vivid than what my i
