Residents of Montgomery County, Ohio, were left in awe after footage emerged showing several enigmatic lights in the sky. The video, captured in the Dayton suburb of Kettering around 8:45 p.m. ET on Sunday, depicts what some witnesses described as triangle-shaped objects “spinning around slowly.”
Brittany Madison, who recorded the intriguing sight, later shared the footage with local broadcaster WHIO-TV.
The recent months have seen a surge in interest regarding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), commonly referred to as UFOs. In fact, experts testified before a Congressional committee in July, suggesting that such phenomena might pose a risk to national security. However, some social media users speculate that the lights observed on Sunday might have been parachutists landing at a nearby country club and golf course.
In the video, three luminous objects can be seen gracefully traversing the darkening sky, just above the tree line. After a brief moment, two of them mysteriously vanish, only to reappear alongside the third in a later clip.
During an interview with WHIO-TV, titled “UFO or Not?,” Brittany Madison described her impression that the lights seemed to materialize and dematerialize at will. Another local resident, known only as Jim, shared his account of observing triangular lights “slowly pirouetting” in the vicinity of Vance Road, also around 8:45 p.m. A third eyewitness sent the network additional footage of the enigmatic lights recorded over the suburb.
On the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), users chimed in with enthusiasm, recounting their own sightings and speculating about the origins of these lights. One user humorously inquired, “Are they accepting applications? Do they need volunteers? How does one sign up for a cosmic joyride?”
Several X users speculated that the lights might have emanated from the nearby NCR Country Club, a renowned establishment known for its golf course, swimming pool, and other amenities. Emily Ferguson provided insight, noting, “NCR featured skydivers landing at the golf course during the Sunday fireworks event.” Another user corroborated, stating, “The NCR fireworks display included skydivers, precisely at 8:45 p.m.,” while a third mused about the possibility of weather balloons.
Newsweek has initiated contact with the NRC Country Club via telephone and Facebook direct message, seeking their perspective on the matter. Furthermore, the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, situated northeast of Dayton, has been reached out to via email. It’s noteworthy that on July 26, the House Oversight Committee convened a session dedicated to UAPs, during which David Grusch, a United States Air Force veteran with ties to the National Reconnaissance Office, raised concerns about the existence of a clandestine government UAP program based on “troubling reports from numerous esteemed and credentialed current and former military and intelligence community figures.”
Sue Gough, a Department of Defense spokeswoman, emphasized to Newsweek that no “verifiable information has surfaced to substantiate claims of past or present programs related to the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials.”
In February, American fighter jets intercepted a series of objects over the United States and Canada, with one being identified by the military as a Chinese spy balloon, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing mystery.
My husband and I saw them, not even a conspiracy type person but extremely weird, never seen anything like it in my life
