UFO spotting Bavaria (addendum)
UFO spotting Bavaria (addendum)
Time 18.01.2026 at 8:30 PM Location of sighting: Germany, Bavaria: Weiden in der Oberpfalz As you can clearly see from the last two photos, this object cannot be Sirius or any other star. At the moment when the object was moving significantly, it clearly did not maintain a fixed position relative to the surrounding stars. This is especially visible when using two or three nearby stars as reference points for visual alignment. Although the object was initially close to Sirius, it deviated too much to actually be Sirius (I also double-checked all nearby stars using Sky Tonight). Furthermore, this does not explain the erratic and unusual movements. The object jumped left, right, up, and down, then stopped, and later repeated the same behavior every 5–10 minutes, but in an irregular pattern. Its brightness was noticeably stronger than that of the North Star, and I have never seen an object that alternated between blue, green, and white light. Based on passing airplanes and satellites, I estimate the object’s altitude to be roughly 13–20 km. Additionally, shortly before I saw it for the last time, the object suddenly moved in a wave-like pattern, almost like a sine/cosine wave. This movement occurred only once during the entire observation period. PS: It was far too fast and too controlled to be a balloon. It flew too high and remained in the air for too long to be a drone. It was not a satellite either (one passed by for comparison); this object was too close and too unstable. Aircraft or helicopters can generally be ruled out, as both maintain steady, predictable flight paths. It was too high for a helicopter, and even for a military drone, the movements were far too abrupt and abstract. Either there’s a new top-secret B-2 bomber with F-35 propulsion having some fun up there — or it was a UFO. For me, only one option remains.
