Orange Orb

On Aug 24, 2021 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, around 9 pm, I saw something that caught my attention. There was distant lightning, but no rain, and a mild sandstorm. Out of nowhere, I spotted an orange glowing orb flying silently in the distance. It seemed quite close at one point, maybe 50 to 100 feet away. I called my skeptical wife, and the object reappeared, though a bit further this time. I managed to get about 10 seconds of footage before it disappeared.

I've uploaded the video to YouTube, and you can check it out here: https://youtube.com/shorts/MqAX5eSdZQI

I thought your expertise in UFO research might shed some light on this sighting. I'd love to hear your thoughts and analysis when you have a chance.

It could be a drone or ball lightning but I'm not sure. I have seen drones at night in the past and I could tell right away that they were a drones, but this felt different. The video doesn't do it justice because I never saw light emit off an object like that… the only way to describe it is that it looked natural or organic in a way.

Anyway If you need more information or have any questions, feel free to reach out. Looking forward to your insights!

Location details: On house roof

Shape: Orb
Color: White
Estimated Size: Basketball
Viewed From: Land
Closest Distance: 1.5 meter
Estimated Speed: Bizarre speed and it stopped immediately
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted beams, Made a sound, Landed

A basketball-sized orb with shifting light spikes blocked my path at 2 AM, emitted sparks when I shouted, then shrank and vanished.

An orb flew 1.5 meters above me, approaching from behind at high speed. It came from the southeast, and as it moved in front of me, it began to descend to my level before coming to a stop. There were now only three meters between me and the orb.

I could see it in detail—it had light spikes moving around its surface, with gaps between them, revealing a spherical core. The material of the orb looked like a blanket made of light, shifting and changing shape as if something was moving inside it.

I froze in place, unable to move. The orb was blocking my only way out. Panicked, I started shouting at it. In response, it began emitting sparks that fell to the ground, bouncing like welding sparks. I shouted three times, and then the orb suddenly shrank and disappeared.

This encounter happened on the roof of my house at 2:00 AM. The orb was about the size of a basketball.

Original report:

One orb flew 1.5 meters above me came from behind in speed it was coming from SE when it becom in front of me starts to get lower to my level then stops and now 3 meter between me and the orb, I saw the orb in details it has light spikes moving around it and there was a gaps between those spikes I could see the spheriec material it was like blanket made from light and it was changing in shape like something moving inside it, I freezd in my place could not move the orb was between me and my way out I start shouting at it, it start to make spark falling from it bouncing on ground like welding spark, I shouted for three times then it shrink and disappear, This encounter happened in my house roof in night at 02:00am, the orb was basketball in size.

The bottom of the disc appeared reddish with distinct four bright white bulbs-like lights.

MASSIVE “UFO” HOVERING OVER MECCA Wow! I may have taken unknowingly a photo of what appears to be a massive UFO hovering over Mecca.

There are so many lights in the mosque at night that an object regardless of how big may pass unnoticed over the massive building. It appeared in two of the pictures I took. It is a little further in one but had moved closer in the other (picture above).

I took this photo in the evening of May 21, 2011. I was in Mecca for an "umrah pilgrimage" with my brother and his family. I didn’t notice the strange disc until 11 days later (June 2) while I was dragging the photos into a folder.

The clock tower is not only the biggest clock in the world; it is the second tallest building in the world; second only to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai so you can have an idea of the height where the UFO was hovering.

NUFORC Note:

We have looked at the photo, and we cannot rule out the possibility that the peculiar object might be the result of a lens flare from the objective lens of the camera. PD

A green blinking light in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and then vanished

I was climbing out of my plane in Riyadh international airport when I saw a light go across the full moon. I would say it was faster than any aircraft I had seen. It was green and blinking. After about a few seconds, It vanished in a blink of light.

A light just looking like a star moving fast towards SouthEast at very high altitude, slowed down as it reached at the top of our camping site and hovered for a while and fastly zig zaged its way away till it faded. seems like it was imitating as a star. Stars are very bright at night in a desert so it was easy to identify its movement.

Actual location of sighting: Saudia Arabia, by the gulf, 200 km south of Kuwait It was Friday morning ,me and my son 15 years old in the desert coming from a friend's camp which was off road. We saw an airplane from one mile and my son said oh, air plane. I said yes this is a Saudi Aramco air plane. They have a few of them to shuttle there staff and also helicopters using same route on a daily bases. While we were driving, traveling 30 miles speed we saw a plane and it did not move. We came close to it, it was on our right side not far away, maybe 300 meter in the air. So we stopped to see it. I thought it is going to land or had a problem, but Safaniah is 40 km away so we came to complete stop. The plane still in the same place. I thought it was Harrier fighter plane (saw them during gulf war) but this one is white and so beautiful. The minute we stopped, I asked my son to make right turn towards it and this thing started moving north. We both said oh it is moving now, good but moving at a high rate of speed. May be 10 seconds and it is gone. Nothing else in the sky as it was a clear day too. By the way my son was driving off road and only under my supervision. It was capsule in shape, no windows.

Thank you to the witness for the report.

A very bright circular light hovering for about ten minutes and then vanishing in a split second.

My friend and I saw a circular object surrounded by bright white light out in the desert, quite far off. It was evening and we were looking at the horizon for Venus, when suddenly the bright circlular objuct appeared out of nowhere. It moved slowly along for about ten minutes, getting brighter all the time, and then it suddenly vanished into thin air.

Feb 1991 Gulf War Desert Storm UFO Sighting very close- about 3 stories off the ground

We were located in the desert in Halfer al ban, Saudi Arabia with in the us army. A spec. 4 and I were on guard duty sitting in a 5-ton truck at the guard entrance in the desert. There were other brass (officers) standing around with their jeeps parked in the area. I remember her eating some raw onions and I was questioning her. I decided to role down my window some more and saw a very large dark object from afar slowly moving towards the back of the truck. i saw it in my side view mirror. it was not a sand storm. I saw other people turn their heads towars the object and told the spec 4 to look in her mirror. when it got over top the truck, it seemed like it was so close that if there was a building in the way, it might have knocked it over. I looked forward and could see the light of the horizon, but I could no longer see any horizon on the sides of us. but then when the object was completely over all of us, our area became pitched dark. the spec 4 started to hollar for jesus and I told her to lock all of the doors and roll up the windows. I did not hear any noise. We turned on our flashlights and there was no reflection on the flashlight or our headlights or anybody elses headlights. i could only see the circle of light from the flashlight, but it could not shine on anything. we could not start our engine. It seemed like a very long time, almost like a half hour. I knew that it happened about 1500 hours because i could not wait to go off duty at 1600 hours. I remember telling the spec 4 to be very quiet. I was calm, but nervous. It seemed like a real long time, but it was only about 3-5 minutes when i looked at my watch again. I am not sure if my watch stopped during that time or not, but it was a few minutes after 3pm, then i looked in my side view mirror because I saw a glimmer of light. I could see the horizon behind the truck,come back again and then I could see the sides of outside light again. I could not see the top of the object, only part of the underside which was very flat. ! It seeme d like the object was a mile wide because I could not tell how big it was. Looking at the beginning edge moving over us, it had a slight bend like a spherical shape. The color looked like dark copper underneath the object. It looked kind of rigidy like symbols too. The object was moving at a very slow pace over us. I rarely talk about it. I had always wondered if anyone else ever spoke of it in the blogs, but I just learned about using blogs this year. It was only one mothership of an object. Afterwards, one of the brass (officers) approached us and was just as baffled as we were about the object. He said that if he wrote home about it no one would belive him anyway. I agreed. I did not want anyone to think I was bananas too. Okay, that's it.

Location: Al - Jubail (approx. 35 miles sw of) (Saudi Arabia), , Saudi Arabia

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

While on guard duty during Operation Desert Shield, I and three others we're talking at the entrance gate to our compound in the Saudi desert, all at once we stopped talking and looked up at the same time and saw a white/bluish circular object directly above us approx. 25000 ft or more, best guess, the object moved slowly over us , no sound, as it moved away it did an erratic "zig zag" pattern then moved away in a straight course in the blink of an eye. No one said a word while watching it, after it was gone we all confirmed with each other we had seen the same thing, whatever it was?

1. The object was a brilliant white/blue light in the shape of a circle. 2. It moved slowly at first, as it moved futher away it did an erratic pattern of movement, the movement was like a child scribbling on paper, I describe it like this because you could see the entire outline of its movements "a light trail" behind it, all of this within a second or two. It then moved out of sight in a straight line in less than a second. The object only left a trail of light during it's erratic movement. There was four of us who witnessed this event, 3 white males, one black male, ages between 20 and 25 yrs old, all of us in the US Army.

Pre-sighting of March 1996 Blue Oval near Jubail Saudi Arabia

One Brilliant white/blue, Oval/orb/sphere passed over our heads, best guess would be 2000ft AGL. It did not make any sound and moved slow, while over us. Best guess would be 50mph or less, as it moved away from us, it gained altitude and speed, it then did a most unsual maneuver, then shot of in a straight line into space. I am posting this because it seems that a similiar UFO was sighted in the general vicinity in March of 1996 and I would like to verify the unusual way the UFO left the area as described in that report and see if it matches what we observed.

October 1990 - Saudi Arabia - large dark triangular object - 3 white lights - 20 seconds - no sound - no stars behind object

10/13/2005: Tonight I viewed the televised Peter Jennings UFO report and it reminded me of this incident.

While serving in the US Air Force, Operation Desert Shield during October 1990, I observed a dark triangular shaped object moving across the sky at approximately 22:30 hrs.

It made no sound. It had 3 white lights, 1 at each corner of the triangle.

My location was a remote desert airstrip having little interference from ground lighting. There were many stars visible, but none were visible within the triangle itself. The moon was approximately full.

The object moved across my field of vision in approximately 15 -20 seconds. It was much larger in size than the moon; like comparing the size of a quarter dollar to the size of my hand held at arms length.

Its altitude was unknown.

I remember bringing this incident to the attention of several others at the time it occurred. \\

During my 22 years of AF service, I witnessed many types of aircraft in flight. I have no idea what that object was!

Awesome show of colours and wonder amidst desert sands

About a dozen swirling disc shaped objects hovered above the horizon in an altitude of a plane ready to land. In an afternoon sky, the circling objects illuminated in various hues-red, green, orange. I was transfixed in awe and noticed that they lowered their flight and zoomed out to nothingness in a blink.
