Raw Footage
This is the video taken by Lyssa on her iPhone XR on September 22, 2021. It was time-stamped 7:31pm. She was not using any zoom. While trying to shoot the dozens (hundreds?) of sparkling lights in the eastern sky, Lyssa inadvertently caught this video of a triangular or boomerang-shaped ship hovering nearly over the group. It was invisible to the eyes and appeared to fly away once Lyssa stopped filming. Below you will see a side-by side video comprised of Lyssa's footage (on the left) and Al's footage on the right, synced up through the audio tracks. |

Side-by-Side
Another participant, Al, was also shooting on his iPhone (12 Pro Max) at the same time as Lyssa on her iPhone XR. He synced up the audio of both iPhones (hence the echo) so we could see what was happening in real time. You will see that Lyssa's ship is seen first at close range. Once she stops filming, the ship appears to zoom away, and Al's video captures what appears to be the same ship (with the same configuration of lights) flying away in the lower right corner. (It may be hard to see this online. The high resolution video shows the exact same light configuration of the craft). Furthermore, there appears to be other activity happening including sparkling lights and a spinning object under a cloud. |

Higher Resolution
The video to the right is the same video, but in higher resolution. When one has a good monitor, one can see in Al's brightened video on the right, the spinning object under the clouds suddenly morph into a structured craft with an identical light pattern as the craft captured on Lyssa's phone. It drops down and moves off to the right. (A still shot of that craft is included in the upper right corner). As previously stated, there was so much activity in the sky that night that we are unsure as to the number of craft caught on video and whether or not the craft in Lyssa's video is the same as the one in Al's. |

Photo Taken from the Video
This photo is taken from the above video and can show the details of the ship in more detail with a good monitor. Anyone who has tried to take night shots of the sky with an iPhone knows that this object would have to be very close in order for the lights to be that big. No zoom was used when taking the video and as a reminder, this object was not seen with the eyes of anyone in the group.
