I've never been convinced that this photo is of a real aircraft. looks photoshopped to me. Happy to be proven wrong.

Hmmm - Are we at risk here of being accused of picking and choosing the evidence (dates & times) to fit our preconceived conclusions? I feel at least that my confirmation bias is working in overdrive here. I think it's pretty clear that the 2nd video looks like the ISS and the time stamp...

If there's issues with the date format, I think its more likely that they'd get both dates wrong rther than just one, so I checked the ISS passes for 8 June 2023, and thee's a matching pass for the ISS then too.

Also, am I right in thinking that the video time on a mobile phone is at the end of the recording, not the start time? These videos are quite long (3 mins) and they match up at the end of the ISS pass. It is something I've noticed in other cases.

Wow, nice thinking and you're right. It's a match

The other video is from the same location, but August 6 2023 at 7.22pm. The sky is much darker so it is likely later than the other video. It looks very much like the ISS again... The ISS pass on 6 August was closer to 7.00pm and didnt get very high above the horizon. I think its unlikely...

This report came up on Reddit and links to a recent article on the The Daily Mail website. They are linking the sightings in India to the UFO sightings at American Nuclear plants. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1bq92ka/footage_of_indian_police_spots_glowing_ufos/...

@Arthur 33 has been challenging @Mick West and I on Twitter to confirm the method used to determine the time of the photo. Source: https://twitter.com/XExcalibur333/status/1772426652657574189?t=KBFxIzItFZ8ztrgAz4InqQ&s=19 I've reviewed the data and it all checks out, as posted above...

I think that the star to the left of your video is Vega in the constellation Lyra. Assuming that to be correct, I put those co-ordinates into in-the-sky.org and checked for Satellites moving right-to-left past Vega at the time of your video. None of the usual candidates were there (space...

Looks like a satellite to me. Although @Mick West said this was unlikely that a satellite would be illuminated at that time & location, Heaven's Above (for a random Western Norway location) shows that there would have been quite a few illuminated at that time, although not very brightly...

Well I'd expect someone might make a UFO report if they saw something they couldn't identify and would use words to describe what they saw. The term 'orb' is often used by UFO fans to describe what they see, but I don't think that the term 'orb' is a phrase that a random person would use to...

Yeah - a light with no discernable shape is often called an 'orb'. But you're right, interesting that a pilot would use these words. It suggests he/she is familiar with the term and its use in UAPology.

that halo arround the shadow of the plane is a called a glory or "pilot's glory" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_(optical_phenomenon) A sundog appears either side of the sun near where the 22° halo appears.

Not even as a distraction?

Just stumbled across this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08155 The paper appears to be a rehash of the UAP that was going to be presented at the SCU conferece by Professor Richard Griffiths and MUFON Case 124190 discussed here...

I completey understand how the lights can confuse pilots (in fact - anyone) who sees them. They look very strange and behave unlike any other celestial body, orbiting satellite or aircraft. I am surprised that there has been no official publication about them - either a NOTAM or Air Publication...

https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=180677 Again this is Starlink Flares and even the witness states that it looked like satellites, but pilots are still reporting them as UFOs.

What I find particularly interesting about this one is the reports from the eye witness and how they phrased their observations. I can see how this would be framed in headlines as "Craft moving at extremely high speed", "formations of craft", "craft hovering with no change in position"...
