Location: Shkodër, Shkodër County, Albania
Location details: Seen from front yard

Shape: Light
Viewed From: Land
Explanation: Drone - Possible
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Flashing green light object appears to understand morse code messages from flashing camera light, object moved with intelligent design

I was on vacation visiting some family in my hometown of Shkoder Albania when a unknown object appeared to flash that was visible from our front yard. The date and time was September 2 at around 8:27 pm local time. The object was almost motionless. Initially I thought it was a drone but it did not seem to move and the timing was a little odd.

You have to understand that there is a little more context to this story than it appears. That very same night, almost half an hour earlier I was playing around with a new app that can display morse code using the phone's flashlight. I had pointed my phone up at thnight sky and sent several messages to see what would happen. I asked specifically for someone to send a small sign as a reply and specifically for them to send a light down. Nothing happened so I went back inside the house and forgot about it.

I come back outside almost 30 minutes later and I hear some of my family members outside arguing about some personal matters and I looked out from our yeard and noticed a flashing green light. I wondered if it was a coincidence or if it was a drone someone had sent up possibly as a response to my unusual flashing light from my phone. You have to understand as well that tensions might be a little high in the region and I thought that perhaps this was a police drone of some sort sent to investigate the light.

But what happened next has completely left me perplexed. I thought at that moment to record it. I have a video approximately 3 minutes long and this was almost half an hour after the morse code messages I sent out.

After I stopped recording, I decided to open up the app again that can send morse code using the phone's light and to my surprise, the object changed color! The first message was a simple "hello" but I believe the phone's screen went dark so I am not sure if the app was able to complete the message, it might have sent a bunch of nonsensical flashes midway probably only getting up to "hel...."

But the next message was crystal clear and I made sure that the phone's screen remained on. I asked the object if it could move around. Only a few seconds afterwords, the object began to move around and it seemed like the light on the object changed colors and became very bright. I cannot remember exactly but I believe it went from flashing green to white and it got super bright as it began to climb up.

I was with four other people, their attention shifted completely to the object and they forgot all about their argument. This was absolutely startling for all of us. My family were asking me what I was doing, I was trying to explain to them that I had an app that could use morse code through the phone but unfortunately this is not well known in Albania and there isn't even proper terminology to explain what morse code is.

I tried sending another message to the object, I wanted to see and make sure that this was not a one time thing. I asked if the object could hover above the church clock tower which is normally viible from the front yard there. But it moved halfway through the message and appeared to land somewhere or at least move out of sight, it was certainly descending somewhere near the church or its vicinity. I do not think that I was able to send the whole message.

I have tried searching for information about this object from any other source but no one seems to have reported or recorded this event which is unusual considering how low the object was and how clearly visible it was.

One thing to note that was unusual is that the object appeared as a flashing green light but in the video that I recorded, the object appears like a flashing white light which I am not sure why that is the case, maybe it has to do with the video quality due to the camera not being able to pick up details very well at night.

Nonetheless, I did however find something similar to this object and I want to include a screenshot of it which someone took in july of this year in Thessaloniki Greece which appeared almost identical to the object I witnessed. This can be found in a post on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/L27riTIosp

I have my doubts that this was an anomolous object but at the same time, it seems a little odd that the object I witnessed appeared half an hour after I sent those messages with my phone. You have to also keep in mind that I was inside for almost half an hour so I have no idea for how long that object was there. This is just a personal hunch but I believe that if this object was anomolous, it decided to scoot as it might be discovered and attract more attention than it wanted. My observation of it landing may have been a misunderstanding as it may have simply lowered its altitude and then vanished somewhere. Ultimately this is all ambiguous and I concede that the object could have been just a drone but at the same time, I am not so sure that this was a drone either.

I have included some screenshots of the morse code app, I am sorry it got cut off before the last message where I asked it to go above the tower. I have also included a photo of the view of the front yard so that you have a point of reference. The foliage you see in the video is the furthest right in the reference photo that was taken during the day. I have also included a screenshot of the date and time on the video itself.

Another thing that I did not explain was that I did not tell anyone about the app that I used earlier so when I got out later, they assumed that the object had appeared there randomly which I am not so sure it was random.

Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Tirana (Albania), , Albania

Shape: Light


Many strange lights (roughly 40 of them) following each other in the night sky.

I have seen 30-40 lights in the sky in a weird way. They were crossing the night sky following each other, in a straight path, almost equally separated in distance. They were coming from the same area in the night sky and the event took place for about 4-5 minutes. They were like a sort of train, following each other and maintaining the same distance (almost).

They couldn’t have been airplanes because, frankly speaking, I might have seen (rarely) two airplanes in line with each other, even though I know that airplanes follow different paths in the sky for security reasons.

But these lights were like 40 of them and they looked like they were never going to end. They just crossed the night sky following a certain order. I don’t know what to add more.

UFO in Drymades - The power in the Village Shut Down

I was at the beach with a group of friends, sitting by a bonfire, when I lay back to look at the stars. That’s when I noticed something unusual. At first, it looked like a flock of birds flying across the night sky, but within seconds, I realized it was something else—something much larger. It had a reflective, mirror-like surface that almost blended into the sky itself.

Then, without warning, the entire village lost power. That’s when everyone saw it.

A massive, diamond-shaped object hovered above us. It was enormous—possibly the size of the city. We stood there, frozen, watching in disbelief. And then, as suddenly as it had appeared, it was gone. The moment it vanished, the lights in the village came back on.

I can look at a aircraft and visually reconize it even the ones civillians don't know about but i could'nt reconize this aircraft

I was in the united states army as a air defender my job was to shoot down aircraft with the stinger missile. my job also was before i shot i was to visually identify the aircraft. So the military gave me a secret clearence and tought me how to visually identify just about any military aircraft in the world.

Soon after training i was deployed to albania to provide airdefense for the planes f16,apache,ect that was bombing kosovo. My job was to secure the sky over the military airport from attack from kosovo. This means i had to look up at the sky allot.

One night i looked up and saw something i could'nt identify that pulsesated red and moved in a zig zag motion like no plane i ever saw before i woke my team chief to make sure i was'nt seeing things and he confirmed.

The next morning i reported incident to my platoon seargeant and he told me just to leave it alone. By the look of this thing i knew it was'nt from here.
