5 Compelling UFO Cases Of The 2020's

from Alien UFO Podcast · host Simon Bown

We begin in Europe in 2024 with a case known as PR-018, where a military infrared system tracked an unidentified object continuously for more than ten minutes. Unlike many sightings, this was a prolonged observation using professional-grade equipment designed to identify aircraft, drones, and missiles. Despite the clarity and duration of the footage, analysts were unable to determine what the object was. It showed no visible propulsion, no exhaust, and no obvious heat signature typically associated with known technology.Next, we examine PR-017, another European case from the same year, based on a short but puzzling civilian video. Lasting only thirty seconds, the footage captures a bright object moving smoothly through the daytime sky. Though brief, the object’s motion and appearance resisted conventional explanations, and even limited analysis failed to identify it conclusively.The episode then moves to the Middle East, where military sensors recorded a slow-moving spherical object drifting through restricted airspace in 2024. Often referred to as the “red sphere,” the object maintained a consistent shape and altitude and exhibited a steady thermal signature. Its simple form contrasts sharply with the complexity of the questions it raises.From there, we travel to Colombia in early 2025, where witnesses reported a metallic sphere moving silently through the air before being recovered on the ground near the town of Buga. Unlike most UFO cases, this one involved a tangible object, smooth, seamless, and unclaimed, raising rare questions about origin, purpose, and how often such objects might go unnoticed.Finally, we discuss the now-infamous Yemen footage, later shown during a U.S. congressional hearing, which appears to show a missile engaging a glowing orb-like object with no clear effect. The lack of explanation surrounding this encounter has made it one of the most debated UAP clips ever released.Taken together, these cases suggest a pattern not of answers, but of presence. Something is being observed, sometimes briefly, sometimes for minutes, sometimes up close, and it continues to challenge what we think we know about our skies. https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
