The video in question emerged on the internet a few years ago, but wherever it appears, it captures the fascination of ufology enthusiasts. Not without reason, it is a remarkable recording of what appears to be a clearly defined triangular UFO, with one light at each extremity and a central light, a configuration characteristic of the commonly described and infamous TR-3B.
There is considerable controversy surrounding the true origin of this type of aircraft, which is routinely reported flying low and silently. The most widespread and accepted hypothesis is that it is a secret aircraft developed by the United States government; others claim it is based on reverse-engineered alien technology.
In any case, it has been reported worldwide and has become part of the history and classification of craft types within UFO phenomenology.
It is worth noting that the vast majority of footage circulating online is CGI, although it is often shared as authentic. A clear example is a video that went viral last year but was later identified as an artistic work by computer graphics artist Andrei Trukhonovets.
A video that draws attention
The video in question draws attention wherever it appears, across social media, forums, and communities dedicated to the subject, and even among people and in places not familiar with the topic.
It has become widely circulated in recent years, and the footage shows the object flying relatively low, apparently recorded from the backyard of a house. Most sources indicate that the recording was made in Guatemala in 2022.
The quality of the video, combined with the clarity of the object, is striking and captivating. Could this be a legitimate recording of a triangular aircraft? A TR-3B?
There are already many versions of this video circulating, with different titles and varying levels of quality. Below is one of them.
The impression we get when watching the footage is that the person who recorded it first noticed the object, then went inside, grabbed a camera, and began filming it while it remained stationary and silent in the sky.
Where did it come from?
Well, let’s take a closer look. Are we really facing a spectacular, legitimate, and real recording of a TR-3B? Apparently, perhaps not. And here’s why.
After a deep reverse search, we discovered that the video in question was first posted by a TikTok account named “dj.tr3b.youtube – DJ TR3B.” As the name itself suggests, the account initially appeared to be focused on videos featuring this type of object.
When examining the account’s posts, we can see that its very first uploaded video was precisely the footage in question.

So we uncovered the first truly relevant piece of information about the footage: instead of having been recorded in Guatemala, it was actually filmed on the Isle of Wight, in the United Kingdom, as indicated in the original description.
However, this is not the only discovery made when we found the account that originally posted the video.
We also discovered that the person responsible for the account appears to have either remarkable luck or access to a very special source, since their first published videos show several objects of the same type, all with a high level of quality and clarity.
And it is from this point on that we truly begin to question the legitimacy of the footage, because when we click on other videos of the same object or similar objects, we identify something very suspicious.
If you pay close attention to the footage discussed in this article, you will notice a distinctive sound of running water, as if a faucet were slightly open, dripping into an already full container.
This same sound can also be identified in other videos posted by the account, in addition to the clear visual similarity between the objects shown.

Another suspicious point worth noting is that, for reasons unknown, the account owner modified the original footage several times and changed the titles, altering the locations and the events supposedly associated with it.
Therefore, all of this is more than enough for us to assume, with precision, that we are dealing with some kind of CGI creation or perhaps even a small scale model.
A fishing rod
In many of the videos we see out there, due to poor quality and even possible manipulation, perhaps intended to hide details, it is not possible to notice a peculiar object in the upper left corner.
Some people noticed that what appears suspended there, and can be seen in the original image, could be a fishing rod that might actually be holding a small-scale model.
Many well-known hoaxes have been carried out in this way. Someone builds a UFO model using some kind of lightweight material and suspends it with nylon thread or wire. In this particular case, since the recording was made at night, it would be even easier to conceal such a hoax.
We must also consider that the supposed fishing rod could simply be there by coincidence and not necessarily to fake the sighting, after all, who would leave clear evidence of a hoax in plain sight?
We cannot be certain, but in any case, this is a hypothesis that cannot be dismissed.
Research conclusion
It is not possible to find further information online about this video. The only initial conclusion we can reach is that it appears to be a real recording at first glance.
However, when the analysis is carried out more thoroughly, several details emerge that go against this first impression.
It may be simply CGI, which I believe is the most likely explanation, or perhaps a small illuminated model suspended in some way.
There is also the possibility that it is a legitimate recording that ended up being compromised by the very person who originally posted it, either through confusing reposts or by publishing other computer-generated videos attempting to imitate the same model.
In the end, the choice is yours. The research is presented, and it is up to each person to draw their own conclusion.
