Pentagon baffled by 8,000 mysterious UFO orbs hovering over US military bases

A new crowdsourced report from Enigma documents over 8,000 UFO sightings in the U.S. since late 2022, including more than 400 reports of small metallic orbs often spotted near military bases in New York, California, and Arizona. Witnesses describe the orbs as silent, fast‑moving, and sometimes captured on radar or video, though many remain unexplained. The Pentagon’s UFO office (AARO) has dismissed most cases as natural or man‑made phenomena, but some remain unresolved. Similar orbs have been reported worldwide for decades, with one notable 2022 drone video capturing them in the Middle East, the Daily Mail has reported. A recovered metallic sphere in Colombia—dubbed the “Buga Sphere”—sparked debate among scientists and UFO researchers, though some experts believe it to be a hoax.
