A thermal video captured a ‘pair of UFOs‘ flying over the coast of Northern California, stumping locals and experts alike.
On Friday, Reddit user @louthegoon posted the video to the ‘The UFOs Subreddit’ – a forum for UFO discussions where people can talk about sightings, experiences, news and investigations.
He recorded the video from Pacifica, California, on November 29 at 10:29 pm, which features ‘two solid heat-objects flying in tandem’.
Midway through the video, the scorching hot objects can be seen rotating in unison while maintaining a consistent distance between them.
After the footage went viral, some Reddit users in the comments expressed disbelief.
‘They move kind of like birds though,’ one user commented, to which @louthegoon responded, ‘I’m interested in hearing why you believe they are birds.’
‘I don’t think it is an osprey because if it was we wouldn’t see negative space between these heat-objects,’ he said, adding that the way in which the objects moved ‘gives off a robotic feeling’ when they rotate.
The video comes just weeks after a photo of four gleaming lights above the United States Capitol building sparked fears that an alien invasion may be finally starting to materialize.

The video comes just weeks after a photo of four gleaming lights above the United States Capitol building sparked fears that an alien invasion may be finally starting to materialize
The photo, captured at night just outside Congress with the Capitol Hill dome in view, was taken by Dennis Diggins, a U.S. Air Force veteran who now works as a licensed tour guide and professional travel director in the Washington, D.C., area.
In the image, the triangular formation of lights appears to hover mere feet above the ‘Statue of Freedom’ atop the Capitol dome.
As fate would have it, this sighting occurred just weeks after a pair of high-profile public hearings in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, where lawmakers questioned current and former Pentagon officials about intelligence regarding what were once called “flying saucers.”
During the House hearing, lawmakers reviewed an unsettling report claiming the existence of an illegal “Unacknowledged Special Access Program” named Immaculate Constellation, allegedly designed to “detect, quarantine and transfer” UFO data away from public scrutiny.
While some eagerly sought video evidence to connect this latest sighting to the broader UFO debate on Capitol Hill, others dismissed the speculative frenzy surrounding the mysterious lights.
A week earlier, a 10-minute video was shared on the subreddit, showing a swarm of UFOs near an Afghan military base that appeared completely unaffected after being struck by missiles.
The footage begins with the camera scanning the flat terrain surrounding the base before zooming in on distant mountains, where four black dots hovered in the sky.
Moments later, the camera captured a closer view of the mysterious orbs, which appeared to be dripping fuel beneath them.

Many Reddit users initially thought the dots were flares, but the camera later switches from FLIR mode to normal vision – revealing that the orbs were glowing multi-colored dots that rigidly moved in a spatial relationship with each other
A short-range missile then entered the frame from the top right, striking through two of the levitating orbs.
Despite the apparent impact and brief explosions, the orbs remained unharmed as the debris dissipates into the air.
Initially, many viewers speculated that the peculiar dots were either training targets or flares.
As the video nears the six-minute mark, the camera transitions from FLIR — a thermal imaging technology that creates infrared visuals — to standard vision.
The camera switch showed how the orbs were actually glowing multi-colored dots, with pink, orange, purple, and yellow hues pulsating as they flew across the sky.
