An impressive video is making the rounds on social media, leaving viewers intrigued. While most recordings of luminous orbs show small, distant, and poorly defined points in the sky, this case stands out: the orb captured is gigantic in size, appearing, in perspective, similar to a full moon.
What makes the phenomenon even more extraordinary is its intense brightness and the low altitude at which it was filmed, practically gliding between buildings. The object defies conventional explanations, such as drones or balloons, due to its appearance and behavior.
The footage was captured by a local resident who witnessed the scene and quickly started recording. The orb moves smoothly but appears to follow a defined trajectory, suggesting it might be guided or have some specific purpose.
If authentic, the video sparks debates about the presence of anomalous phenomena in densely populated urban areas. It also raises questions about the underreporting of such sightings in regions like Asia, where phenomena of this kind are often explained culturally or spiritually, or simply ignored by authorities.
Lasting 16 seconds, the video begins with the orb emerging from behind trees near the witness’s location. It then ascends toward a building, passes overhead, and the camera adjusts to continue recording. The object continues its trajectory, disappearing behind another building that appears to be about 10 stories tall. What happens next is unclear, as the video ends abruptly.
One interesting thing to note is the audio in the video. In addition to the breathing of the person filming and their footsteps, there is a sound, a kind of buzzing that resembles an airplane passing far away. Could it be emitted by the object?
This video is truly impressive, as there doesn’t seem to be any evident digital manipulation, and the brightness of the orb is surprising.
The footage was recorded in Hebei, China, around 7:00 PM (China Standard Time, UTC+8) on January 7, 2025.Watch the video below and draw your own conclusions.
Could it be a modified drone? In my view, no.
It deserves not only opinative analysis but also a detailed investigation of its digital characteristics. If it is authentic, it could be significant evidence that adds to the study of the phenomenon. This requires a thorough analysis of aspects such as light reflection, the object’s behavior, and its trajectory, as well as a technical evaluation to ensure there is no manipulation or deception.
The main difficulty in investigating this case further is that the video was filmed in China. There, access to and sharing of information, in general, are more complicated.
We will attempt to contact the account that posted the video for more information. It is possible that other people in the area also recorded the event.
The video was posted on a TikTok account with only two uploads, which lends credibility, as it doesn’t appear to be an account specializing in UFO content or digital artistic productions.
Clearly it's swamp gas. 😉
