Newcomer Spots Mystery Sphere Vanishing Into Mountain Shadow in Government Video

THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/UFOs has put a question to the community: did a spherical object in a government-hosted video fly into a mountain? The post, by the author's own account a first on the site, concerns a file titled DOW-UAP-PR061, labelled "Spherical UAP" and dated 2021/04/12.

According to the post, the author was browsing videos on the website war.gov when this one caught their attention. At the 3:59 mark, the author writes, the object appears to descend toward the ground and then disappear into a shadow or mountainside.

The poster states that they found no earlier discussion of the clip, though they proceed anyway. They go on to suggest a connection with long-circulating accounts of aliens living underground, underwater or inside mountains, and ask whether the footage matches what multiple witnesses have described about craft entering the earth.

The author is careful to hedge. They say that they can describe only what they "can see," and the post offers no analysis of the camera, distance or terrain. No official explanation for the object is given in the material, and no mundane account, such as the effects of shadow, compression or perspective, is proposed by the author.

Closing with an admission that they were unsure what to expect from the community, the poster says the clip seemed too strange not to share and asks others for their opinions. At the time of publication, the post's own text recorded no replies.
