Case 24-018 (North Carolina) Closed as Identified

The Witness was on his back porch installing a security camera. During the installation, the camera was pointed directly upwards towards the sky. It was automatically recording during this time. When the Witness checked to ensure the camera was working properly and recording video, he noted that there was a small object speeding across the sky. A highly compressed 15 fps video was supplied to API.

After investigation, API concluded that the object in the video was a conventional aircraft.

Case 21-023 (Isle of Man) closed as low strangeness Unidentified

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.
