Bright white orb displaying varying degrees of luminous intensity, movement, and potentially anomalous behavior recorded on video.

Observer #1 spotted a small, bright, white light above a nearby building. They noted the light was unusual and shouldn’t have been there, as they pointed it out. I also recognized the light as unusual, and we both saw it move slightly downward and seemingly get bigger, at which point they started recording on their cell phone. Moments later, I started recording as well.

To our eyes, the light started small and bright and kept getting bigger and brighter. It remained stationary for about 20 seconds, and then we noticed it was moving downward, closer to the building’s top (from our perspective).

Observer #1 also noticed the light had a sort of ‘tail’ or ‘beam’ of light protruding from its otherwise round-ovalish shape, that was most clearly visible on their cell phone screen (which had the better camera and zoom). This light protruded to the top-right of the shape, from our perspective.

Moments later, the orb began moving upward and stood stationary once more for roughly 20 seconds before it started a diagonal descent to the left, seemingly going behind the buildings with only a small portion of it remaining visible (which included this ‘beam’ of light). A couple of seconds later, it began to move upward once more; still close to the rooftops but entirely visible.

The orb then began to intensify in brightness and noticeably grow in size—later, studying the video, it is rather easy to see the light ‘beam’ seemingly retracts into the orb as this happened. It then began to move upward once more. At this point, the orb looked noticeably bigger and brighter than when we started recording.

After roughly a minute and a half of slowly ascending motion, a new beam of light seemingly forms, protruding from the orb, this time down and to the right from our perspective. This was most easily appreciated on the cell phone screen (and the video later), as it was more difficult to make out the details to the naked eye due to its intense brightness. The upward and leftward motion continued for roughly another minute, and then it began moving downward once more; faster this time around (it only took about 20 seconds).

During our sighting, we thought we had lost sight of the orb behind the buildings. On closer inspection of the videos, there are some frames where the orb seemingly appears to be positioned in front of the buildings for a few seconds before diminishing in size and disappearing.

Personal notes of potentially anomalous behavior:

* The object’s or light source’s motion seemed unusual from the get-go, but it is difficult to put into words exactly why.

* The way the light emitted by the object seemed to intensify also came across as highly unusual. In my personal opinion, the videos do not do justice to how bright the object’s light was perceived by the naked eye. The difference in brightness and size increase could be described as dramatic.

* While these details were not as evident as we watched, upon studying the videos, the way these ‘light beams’ seemingly expand and retract from the object has to be considered entirely anomalous. Especially because of how this action seemingly triggered, or corresponded to, the brightness and size increase that took place as this retraction happened, as displayed between 2:20 to 2:30 in the second video captured on the Samsung A54 (labeled “Samsung A54 - 2025 01 16 - Vid 2”).

* As we saw it take place, we were unsure if the object was positioned in front or behind the buildings as we lost sight of it. After carefully reviewing the videos, I believe that confusion might be the result of the light being emitted by the orb potentially behaving “unnaturally”.

Meaning that, if it was indeed positioned in front of the building, as the videos suggest, we saw the orb diminish and disappear (instead of getting lost from our sight behind the structure). But if that was the case, I think such a bright source of light should also have affected its surroundings as well, which does not appear to be the case, neither in the video nor during the sighting event.

NUFORC Note:

No videos were included in the report.

Floating orb statically, then begins to rise until it disappears

I was about to go to bed, I went out to the yard of my house to smoke and let my dogs do their business. When I looked at the sky I saw a glow on the horizon that at first glance looked like a star, then I realized that there shouldn't be such a star in that part from the sky, when I start recording, the orb remains static in the sky, until at one point it begins to rise, without erratic movements, it passively rose at a speed that I could record it until it disappeared in the darkness of the night.

A camouflaged craft rising from the river towards the sky.


The craft rose partially from the Maipo River into the sky, and as it disappeared, it left a small flash. I will share a photo I created so you can imagine the object.

Original rpeort in Spanish:

Nave camuflada elevándose desde el rio hacia el cielo.

La nave se elevó desde el Rio Maipo hacia el cielo de manera parcial, y al momento de desaparecer dejo un pequeño destello. Les dejaré una foto la cual yo cree para que puedan imaginarse el objeto.
