Have you ever encountered something you firmly believe was a UFO\/UAP\/orb, plasmoid, or something similar? Earlier today, I shared a video of a sighting and just finally ventured into the UFO sub. It’s been quite enlightening and sparked my curiosity to ask a different question.<\/p>\n
Do you think you\u2019ve witnessed a UAP\/UFO\/orb, plasmoid, or any unusual phenomenon with your own eyes? Have others ever doubted your experience?<\/p>\n
While I’m not a UFO enthusiast, I’m aware it’s a topic that’s gaining a lot of attention lately. I have a telescope and have dabbled in astronomy over the years. I’m fairly informed about the James Webb telescope’s findings and the rumors of an \u201calien armada\u201d approaching Earth, though I didn’t pay much attention until I heard them.<\/p>\n
What struck me about my “sightings” post was how quickly many dismissed it. (Kudos to the Mods; I had no idea this community had such a mix of personalities!) Some brushed it off as a balloon, while others argued that it didn\u2019t move in a way they deemed extraordinary, so it must be nothing. A few took the time to engage more thoughtfully, but it seems a lot of people consider themselves experts on the unknown. None of us have a full understanding of what exists in the universe or how things we\u2019ve never seen before might behave. We don\u2019t know everything, and as a professional skeptic, I value critical thinking.<\/p>\n
When people dismiss you as conspiratorial despite evidence\u2014or even without first-hand accounts\u2014the frustration can be immense. Perhaps this sub has its share of UFO skeptics; I can’t say for sure. But I know what I saw, and it wasn’t a balloon. It appeared much closer in person, and my iPhone video doesn\u2019t do it justice. I don\u2019t seek validation; I know my experience. To all my fellow witnesses who have been dismissed, I see you and I believe you. We don\u2019t need to identify what it was to acknowledge that it exists.<\/p>\n
Since I’m here, I\u2019ll share other videos I\u2019ve captured but haven\u2019t posted before. I’m not looking for feedback; it is what it is, and I know what I’ve seen. I’m sharing these for anyone interested.<\/p>\n
When plasmoids were first reported, I took my telescope to scan the skies from my terrace. I hope people can view the full-size videos. All recordings are taken from my terrace in Queens, NY.<\/p>\n

\n00:12 seconds in: I was setting up for plasmoids and testing my telescope to get a steady shot of the moon through my phone.

\nIt was freezing, making it difficult to keep the telescope steady. I thought I might have spotted a star, but when I shared it elsewhere, others claimed it wasn’t. I don’t know for sure, but I definitely saw something.
