No of observers: 2

Location: Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany
Location details: Somewhere after frankfurt

Shape: Light
Color: Bright white like

Bright light on the ground

Date and Time: April 11th, 2025, at approximately 01:08 AM (local time in Germany)
Location: Onboard norwegian flight D85123 (Helsinki to Málaga), approximately above central or southern Germany
Sky conditions: Clear sky, no clouds or thunderstorms
Flight status: About 2 hours remaining in flight time
Coordinates (approximate): Near Frankfurt area (latitude ~50°N, longitude ~8°E)

Description of the event:
While flying over Germany during the night, I observed an extremely bright light moving very fast across the landscape as seen from the airplane window. The object was much brighter than any ground lights and illuminated a large area of the terrain below. It moved horizontally, and at one point the light disappeared briefly and reappeared again. The motion was smooth and linear, with no sudden changes in direction.

There were no clouds in the sky, and the stars were visible clearly. The object had no sound, no visible trail or vapor, and did not resemble aircraft strobes, lightning, or city lights. The duration was around 5–10 seconds. I captured the phenomenon on video.

Direction of movement: From left to right in the window view (likely northeast to southwest)
Light behavior: Extremely bright, temporary disappearance and reappearance
Duration: Approximately 5 to 10 seconds
Other information:
• No flashes or blinking lights
• No sound or turbulence
• Clear skies throughout the observation
• I have a video recording available (can be shared via cloud link)

Possible interpretation:
The phenomenon strongly resembles a large fireball meteor, but the brief “vanishing and reappearing” behavior was unusual. If not a natural fireball, the object could be classified as an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP), as no known explanation fits all aspects of the sighting.


NUFORC Note:

Appears to be a reflection of the moon on the river below.

UFO approaching brightens up the night

I walked out of the house this night, working late with my head wrapped around it. As I stepped outside in the garden, I mentioned that I could see clearly, and it wasn't as dark as usual. I looked up and saw a pretty bright flickering Jupiter. Right where it should be. However, it wasn't simply sitting there being pretty bright and extra flickery. It started to appear to be an apparition entering our atmosphere, with a flair of white and blueish lights. You couldn't really follow any movement, but it kept getting closer. As it approached, I attempted to measure its real size and distance by comparing it to the aircrafts and stars. I recall thinking that the large object must be a meteor, but there were no reports of any imminent meteors or rare activities. It looked different though to anything I have seen before. I couldn't believe what was happening, as it was illuminating the surrounding, and even my face. I watched the lights my hands in disbelief, not relying on my eyes. Meanwhile, the object was positioned like an oval-shaped light, making the clouds appear. It made no noise while the planes were flying over it, but there was obvious noise coming from the planes. It was a starry night, and the thing kept sitting there in a cumuliform cloud, illuminating it for about 20 minutes before it disappeared, first in uneven unlikely movements, then disappearing in the same way it arrived, with a flair, straight up in the sky. I cannot tell any shape or size, due to the fact that I have only seen lights. The movement made it hard to discern. It didn't appear to be moving when it vanished, in a straight direction with a touch of interference until it became just another shining dot. The weirdest aspect of it was that it seemed like a star, gave it a show, and disappeared, resulting in it looking like a star once more, just Jupiter. I even feel stupid writing about it.

I am clueless about what it was. I'm sure it wasn't a drone, a satellite or a rocket. I have nothing to compare it to. The sky is something I like, I have a general knowledge of the stars, and I've never been intoxicated or diagnosed with any mental illness. The sight occurred in a flight zone with low altitude close the airport. If anything was present, it would have been visible to others or detected by one of the many aircrafts crossing in this area. But I couldn’t find any trace of anyone else seeing anything that night. I checked any optical illusion I could think of. I don’t care about such things as UFOs, but that night was really disturbing. Someone could please prove me wrong and give me a down to earth explanation.

Jellyfish like UAP

The object was moving without any sound and went in a straight line south. I was able to see a brown texture on it with binoculars. It was turning from side to side while flying, but not in a specific rhythm. It went further to the horizon until it disappeared. It was accelerating sometimes, but also got slower.

It remembered me of the famous Jellyfish UAP from Iraq.

The sound in the video is from construction on the street. When they stooped for a moment I could not hear any sound coming from the craft.
