Searching for lost footage of a spinning, potato-shaped UFO from the ’90s!
When I was a child, my dad loved watching VHS tapes about UFO sightings, and I have a vivid memory of one particular recording. It featured an object gliding above what seemed to be a body of water — perhaps a lake. I think the shape was cylindrical, maybe resembling a potato? The object appeared silver, and I found it quite convincing at the time. The footage was relatively clear, showing the object hovering over the water, and I believe it was spinning, though I might be mistaken.
I’ve been on the hunt for this footage for a while now, but I haven’t been able to track it down online. It was fairly well-known, as it was referenced in several documentaries. As a kid, the footage gave me a creepy feeling, almost like witnessing something terrifying, even if it was just a potato-shaped UFO!
Does anyone out there recall the footage I’m describing?
That sounds like a fascinating memory! I think what you’re describing might be similar to the footage of the “flying saucer” or “cigar-shaped” UFOs that were popular in the 90s. Some notable sightings from that era did feature objects over bodies of water, and they were often captured on VHS by amateur videographers.
It might also be worth checking out some online UFO forums or websites dedicated to historical UFO sightings. You could try posting your query there as well; there are many enthusiasts who might remember the specific footage or could help point you in the right direction. Have you tried searching through any UFO documentary films from that time? They often include well-known footage. I hope you find it!
