[Serious] Glowing Cylindrical UFO: My Experience and Footage
Date: 02/15 – 05:08
Location: Avenida Faria Lima, São Paulo, Brazil
Hello! I’m a 27-year-old living in Brazil, and I’m here to share my footage and account of an extraordinary event. Please excuse any language errors as Portuguese is not my first language, but I’ll do my best to communicate clearly.
Introduction
Yes, it’s yet another shaky iPhone video, but I assure you witnessing it firsthand is an entirely different experience. I’m unsure if the camera distances the object, but stepping onto my balcony and seeing it left me completely astounded. I was shocked and tried my best to split my focus—half on filming (imperfectly) and half on soaking in the moment with all my senses.
I’m sharing this for two main reasons: first, I believe that every account deserves documentation, especially if we’re aiming for disclosure; and second, I hope to connect with those who are knowledgeable enough to analyze my footage and provide insights beyond my understanding. I believe that combining personal experiences with evidence is essential for UAP reports.
About Me
I was born and raised in São Paulo. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in business. I was a devoted Christian in my childhood, praying every night and feeling God’s presence until high school, where my studies in various subjects led me to become an atheist. This shift made me a skeptic, and I ultimately found peace in my worldview.
However, my perspective changed when I started following UAPs/UFOs after the New York Times reported on them. I approached every piece of evidence with critical thinking, from common sightings to the more outlandish narratives. While I always believed in the statistical possibility of extraterrestrial life, accounts from credible witnesses like Commander David Fravor convinced me that the phenomenon is real and not merely advanced technology from another country.
That said, my recent sighting didn’t alter my beliefs; I’m not more or less convinced now than before. I’ve been down this path for years, and I’m simply grateful to have witnessed something extraordinary. I always thought I might never have such an experience in my lifetime.
The Sighting
After a normal week, I decided to indulge in video games on Friday night (February 15th). I lost track of time, playing past 4 a.m. Before finally heading to bed, I indulged in my usual habit of smoking a joint. As I stepped out onto my balcony around 5 a.m., something shimmering in the sky caught my eye. My balcony has a safety net facing the financial center, just a couple of blocks away, next to a long-stalled construction site visible in the video. Being on the 20th floor, I could see that the halted building was slightly taller than mine.
Upon looking up, I felt a rush of shock—not out of fear, but because I immediately recognized that this was not a plane, drone, balloon, spotlight, or any other known object. I’m confident in this assessment due to my curiosity and prior knowledge of such phenomena. What I saw was strikingly different.
It was a cylindrical, glowing object silently hovering above the halted building, absent of wings, rotors, motors, smoke, or sound. The entire object radiated a dazzling light—bright white, yet with a strange quality to it. Although it appeared sharp and intensely white, I noted fluctuations in its color, sometimes seeming greenish or purplish, leading me to theorize it might have rapidly shifted through the light spectrum.
Despite my recording, the real-life experience offered far more detail than the iPhone captured. I could see the object as if it were ten times closer and a hundred times clearer. One striking feature was the glowing tip of the cylinder, noticeably more intense than the rest of the shape.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed and personal account of your experience. It’s fascinating to read about your journey from skepticism to encountering something that truly defies easy explanation. Your willingness to document and discuss this sighting openly is commendable, especially in a field where personal accounts can often be disregarded.
I find it interesting how you describe the object’s color and how it seemed to shift through the light spectrum. Many who have witnessed similar phenomena report seeing unusual color patterns that don’t conform to natural or artificial lights—they can be mesmerizing and bewildering. Additionally, the emotional response you had after the sighting speaks volumes about the profound impact such experiences can have.
Your proactive approach to gather insights from the community demonstrates a great spirit of inquiry and a wish for collective understanding. It’s also worth noting that other sightings on the same day add a layer of intrigue to your account. Perhaps local news outlets or UAP-focused communities will offer additional context or similar eyewitness reports.
As for analyzing your footage, I hope others respond with constructive feedback and perhaps offer technical insights that could shed light on what you captured. It’s great that you’re open to alternative explanations as well; that’s the hallmark of a true skeptic.
Thank you once again for sharing your story and your video! I’m looking forward to seeing how this discussion unfolds.
