After a couple of tech rehearsals, we think we’ve solved our technical difficulties and are ready for our 14th Livestream. Join us Friday evening, 27 February at 22:00 EST and bring your questions and comments. The complete video will be available on YouTube shortly after the livestream concludes.
We closed Case 24-019, which was a single witness nighttime video case from October 2024 in Nova Scotia as Unidentified. The case was judged to be of low strangeness ( Strangeness 1 on a scale of 0-5). Read our Report of Investigation. and view the witness submitted video clips to see if you agree.
We have a new Public information video out going over a few simple steps to capture a UFO on video should you happen to sight one.
Here at API we have lots of experience with people submitting video to us of something weird they saw in the sky. Most of the time, it turns out that it’s not so weird, but sometimes we are left puzzled, or at least a little perplexed. If you are watching this video, chances are you are hoping to someday capture video of an object you can’t identify – something that is moving in odd ways, or has a shape or color that makes little sense. This is about what to do when that moment arrives.
We’ll assume that what you are shooting this video with is your mobile phone, since that is the only camera most people routinely carry, but the basic advice should apply to any camera.
There really isn’t any question of whether to shoot or not shoot video – if you have a functioning camera, you shoot. You don’t have to worry that people will think less of you – API will protect you from all the stigma, and anything in the video that might identify you will be muted, blurred, or edited out.
A witness at a truck stop in Amarillo,Texas recorded about 35 seconds of video of a bright orb that faded away.

This is our edit of the witness submitted video:
Case 21-023 were three objects of highly variable brightness observed and recorded on video by two witnesses in Douglas, Isle of Man. They chased the objects in a car until they were no longer visible. Since we were unable to confirm that the objects were moving with the wind, we can’t conclude that they were balloons, although the movement is not anomalous and is consistent with balloons. Furthermore, assuming they remained near where they were when they last disappeared, they would have to be very large. Birds were also considered as a possible explanation. although the identification wasn’t clear.

The Witness ghosted us on this case, but we had enough video evidence to narrow things down a bit. Read the Report of Investigation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a2zLRmMdqFU8IssTxaxPiZgnTItAci4A/view?usp=sharing
