What is on the record
This file is a working record — a report, not a verdict. Official paper, if any, is linked where we have it.
On the weekend of 30 August 2026 a public X post circulated a sped-up video labelled as a swarm of orbs over Nevada. The clip shows many small lights moving through the dark. The poster wrote that still nobody knows what they are.
Starlink trains, aircraft, and a sped-up night can look like a swarm. The file is a public clip with a state attached, not a radar track.
Could this have been ours?
The known sky, that night.
The station, the trains, and the rest of the known sky were already there. Hold the claim next to them.
1998 —
International Space Station
A bright, steady moving star. A few minutes to cross. No strobe. Occupied since 2000. NASA publishes the pass times. Not unidentified.
2019 —
Starlink trains
A line of equally spaced lights after a launch. The most common string of orbs in current reports. A satellite deployment, not a formation of craft.
Always
Venus and the bright planets
A fixed brilliant point. Does not streak. Does not hover over a street then leave. Often the first misread light in a rural report.
Always
Aircraft, balloons, meteors
Landing lights, flares, lanterns, reentries, fireballs. They are on the known sky. They do not close a file by themselves — they are what a serious look has to hold the claim against.
