A video filmed over Anchorage, Alaska, has sparked debate online after showing a black-and-silver object with tentacle-like arms hovering in the sky and moving mysteriously over a forested area.
The footage was recorded in June by Sarah Jane Osborne, who was attempting to film a cloud rainbow at the time. She said she initially thought the object was a mosquito, but when she looked beyond her phone, she noticed a larger, more distant object with a black-and-silver appearance. Its thin arms appeared to move independently, she added.
The video drew additional attention because the object appeared to be moving toward a US military base in the area, though its exact location and whether there is any connection to military activity have not been confirmed.
Online, viewers debated the footage. Some claimed it was a known type of kite, with one saying he had seen a similar kite up close in the past. Others suggested it could be a drone or an AI-generated video, a claim Osborne denied. Some entertained the possibility of extraterrestrial origin.
As of now, the identity of the object remains a mystery, and the outlet that published the video clarified it was unable to independently verify the claims surrounding it.
