From Richard Geldreich, Jr. (please forgive the formatting, this is a very raw/early report):
"Drones" are important but a distraction. They key differentiator that this is a classic-type of UAP wave or flap are the spherical glowing or metallic orbs, sometimes showing flocking or swarming behavior.

The key clip from Ross Coulthart: https://youtu.be/sucrnlxq8CA?t=1203
Ross Coulthart: "orbs and spheres are frequently reported... fighter pilots, active service... telling Enigma the metallic spheres still continuing... consistent with what AARO told the Pentagon... they're appearing between 24,000 and 28,000 feet, which is a lot higher than commercial drones... between Dec. 2022- Sept. 2024, just under 2 years, 6,226 raw reports, 4,467 approved orb sightings able to confirm were genuine, after drilling down 322 metallic orb sightings accepted, they were metallic metal or silver orbs... total orb or sphere sightings that were submitted to the Enigma Skywatching network.."

Key Excerpts from this Reality Check episode:
Enigma Labs recorded 6,226 orb sightings from Dec 2022 to Sept 2024, with 4,467 confirmed and 322 metallic.
Historical Context: Similar UAP incidents have been reported near nuclear weapons sites (e.g., Malmstrom AFB) and nuclear energy plants globally.
Notable 2023-2024 Reports:
-
May 2023: Silver sphere seen near Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State.
-
June 4 & 12, 2024: Silent silver orbs spotted near Eglin AFB, Florida.
-
August 1, 2023: Metallic sphere sighted at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth.
-

https://x.com/Truthpolex/status/1868792587299238168
Dates & Locations: Reports have surged globally over the past 16-17 days, especially in the UK (RAF Lakenheath, RAF Feltwell), New Jersey, and the continental US. Germany also reported an incident on November 22, 2023, involving a 1.5m drone near HMS Queen Elizabeth in Hamburg.
What’s Being Seen: Luminous orbs (orange, blue), triangular shapes, and metallic spheres. Sightings frequently occur between 15,000–28,000 ft. Metallic spheres lack visible propulsion, heat signatures, or seams.

Mass orb sightings of the summer of 1947, during the peak of reports and the day before the Roswell announcement:
7/6/1947, At 5:15 p.m. in Sioux Falls, South Dakota a silver orb shot toward the southwest "faster than any plane." It flew at an estimated altitude of ten thousand feet.
7/6/1947: PATERSON, NJ, Moon-size sphere/orb/globe skims along southwest going northwest.
7/7/1947, Time: 15:30, PHOENIX, AZ, 80+observer(s)? 2 large silver orbs going quickly east. 1 high and 1 low. No wind. Photograph / grey ovoid. -
7/2/1952: "Tremonton Film" - 25G flocking orbs
Chief Photographer, Commissioned Warrant Officer in the U.S. Navy, Delbert C. Newhouse
Filmed at 11:00 AM MST, July 2nd, 1952 in the vicinity of Tremonton, Utah.
The USAF's own analysis of the 1952 Tremonton Film showed objects which had accelerations in turns at up to 25G's.
The US Navy Marine-Photo-Interpretation Laboratory spent over a thousand hours analyzing the film.
