A bright, glowing UFO, with the classic “cigar” shape reported by witnesses for decades, has now been captured on military-grade night vision video.

The unidentified, seemingly slow and silently moving object, “looked like a blur to the naked eye,” according to the Montana native who spotted it this June.

The blur only took on a more defined shape with the help of the witness’s night vision camera, made by military manufacturer SiOnyx which also makes consumer models.

The unusual, long cylinder of light appears to slide slowly at an angle in front of an extensive star field above the “Land of the Big Sky” just before disappearing behind a mountain range visible from the witness’s location along Airport Road in Belgrade (the Montana).

The UFO sighting occurred less than four miles east of Montana’s Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, although the eerie video contains no air traffic sounds as the UFO wanders across the starry night sky.

What his camera witnessed

“Sometimes we get videos like this that are confusing,” said Alejandro Rojas, a consultant at tech start-up Enigma Labs, whose UFO database received the witness’ submission.

It looks like Starlink satellites“, Rojas told DailyMail.com, “which look like a long train of satellites in a row. But these look like a solid object.”

Enigma has created a huge catalog of UFO incidents – better known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) – to separate what is truly unusual in our skies from what is just a trick of the eye.

Aerial phenomena could be anything from aerial gases heating up and becoming plasma, such as the famous Northern Lights, to reflections of ice crystals in a cloud, to more exotic cases of real, solid and durable objects, such as a “flying” alien vessel.

The Montana witness spotted the UAP in the early morning hours of June 5, 2024, about ten minutes before 3 AM.

“We like to get these videos out to the public so that investigators can help us figure it out,” Rojas told DailyMail.com via email.

“In some cases, they demonstrate a real mystery and help demonstrate why the Pentagon and NASA say they take UAPs seriously,” according to Rojas, who is now founder and president of the new research nonprofit UAP Discovery.
