This 3 minute UFO recording was submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) following a report from a witness in Cookeville, Tennessee, USA. The footage was recorded from the witness's home using a night vision monocular on 21 August 2026. The witness reported that an object entered the camera's field of view, moved north, then south, and later west, before moving away over a tree line. The witness reported being unable to see the object with the naked eye and only observing the anomaly through the night vision device. NUFORC's investigation classified the case as Tier 4, citing technical/optical effects producing the anomaly observed in the video. The investigation report also notes that the footage and accompanying information were reviewed with technical consultation from Marian Rudnyk, identified in the report as a former NASA astronomer, planetary scientist and space imaging specialist.
