I’m sharing a 4k video I captured on October 30, 2025 near Castle Hot Springs, Arizona, showing a fast-moving orb/UAP crossing the desert.
I’m an FAA-certified sUAS pilot and was flying a DJI Mavic 3 from the top of a mountain ridge at roughly 300 ft AGL. Conditions were calm with little to no wind, which provided a very stable platform. The object shows no visible propulsion, no wings, and no sound, and appears to change orientation or shape while moving at high speed.
I manually tracked the object for over two minutes. I did not descend to pursue it because the object moved toward the opposite side of the mountain, and dropping lower would have likely resulted in signal loss behind terrain. Maintaining altitude allowed continuous tracking.
To add transparency, I’ve also uploaded:
- Flight telemetry / remote screen recording showing heading, altitude, position, and yaw during the sighting ( can give link on request)
- Additional footage from the same day to provide environmental context : https://youtu.be/GuO7g9M5_Vs?si=TRdOT5JvOpoeGY3l
- Uploaded to YouTube in 4K for review: https://youtu.be/71i733mo8To
The footage and telemetry have since been reviewed and licensed by a major TV production for a paranormal documentary series.
I’m posting here for serious analysis only. I’m especially interested in feedback from:
- pilots
- Aviation professionals
- Engineers or physicists
- Anyone experienced with motion analysis or aerial optics
If you believe this could be something conventional (balloon, bird, aircraft, etc.), please explain how it matches the observed speed, motion, and behavior shown in the footage.
I’m happy to answer reasonable questions and provide additional context.
