People who saw it described the UFO as looking like a cigar and flying in the air very slowly before disappearing behind a mountain. 

A bright UFO , whose classic ‘cigar-like’ shape has been reported by witnesses   for decades, has now been captured on military-grade night vision  video.

According to the Montana locals who discovered it in June this year, the strange object appears to move slowly and quietly, ‘looking like a blur to the naked eye’. The blur only took on clearer form with the help of the witness’s night vision camera, manufactured by military contractor SiOnyx, which also makes consumer models.

This unusual, long cylinder of light appears to glide slowly at an angle in front of a vast expanse of starry sky above ‘Big Sky Country’ — just before disappearing behind a mountain range visible from the victim’s location. evidence along Airport Road in Belgrade. The incident occurred less than four miles east of Montana’s Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, also in Belgrade, although the  video strangely shows no sounds of commercial air traffic as the UFO drifted through the night sky full of stars.

Alejandro Rojas, a consultant at tech start-up Enigma Labs, whose UFO database has received witness statements, said: ‘Sometimes we get videos like this that are confusing ‘. ‘It looks like a Starlink satellite,’ Rojas told DailyMail.com, ‘it looks like a long train of satellites lined up in a row. But these things look like a solid object.’

Enigma has built up a huge catalog of UFO incidents—now more technically known as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)—to discern what’s truly unusual in the skies of us with what is just a visual trick.

In recent years, the term UAP has become more commonly used to describe UFOs, as its more conservative wording refers less to witnessed events. Aerial phenomena can be anything from gases in the air being heated into plasma, like the famous Northern Lights, to the reflection of ice crystals in clouds, and to other cases of more exotic of real solid objects, like ‘flying’ alien spacecraft.

Witnesses in Montana spotted the UAP early on the morning of June 5, 2024, about ten minutes before 3 a.m. Mountain time.

Rojas replied to DailyMail.com via email: ‘We would love to release these videos to the public so researchers can help us find answers.’ According to Rojas, now founder and president of a new nonprofit research organization on UAPs called UAP Discovery, ‘In some cases, they prove a real mystery and help demonstrate why   The Pentagon and NASA   say they are seriously considering UAP’ . ‘NASA and the Pentagon say there’s a lack of data, and that’s the problem we want to address,’ Rojas explains .

He noted that Enigma Labs is currently “getting hundreds of videos a week on its own app, and while the majority of them are mediocre content, there’s at least some of the more difficult to explain content.”

This UAP discovery in Montana, Enigma case number 294125, may be related to a strange feature of the hardware and software behind SiOnyx’s night vision equipment, which the company supplied to the United States Army. Ky is under a contract worth approximately $20 million.

Some owners of one of SiOnyx’s consumer models, the SiOnyx Aurora Sport, have reported that the phone ‘does not seem to handle high light contrast well’.  A member of the Reddit group r/NightVision noted in 2020: ‘If you have a bright area and a darker area in the frame at the same time, the bright area will be overexposed or the dark area will be too dark to see. can see clearly’. As a result, this ‘blown’ contrast problem can cause a fleet of glowing Starlink satellites, reflecting light from the sun, to look like one long, solid object.

It’s still unclear which witness reported the incident to Enigma anonymously and which of the company’s night vision products were used, but the tracking startup UAP hopes to get the community involved. community to find more clues from the public. But for more than a century, the cigar-shaped UAP has persisted as a common object in eyewitness reports.
