Orb (disambiguation)

Orbs (also orb UAP) are a category of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) characterized by small, spherical, often metallic or luminous objects allegedly observed singly or in formations, in the atmosphere and underwater, and frequently reported in proximity to larger craft including space arks and motherships. Reported variants include the metallic orb (the most-cited modern military-surveillance morphology), light and plasma orbs (luminous and consciousness-associated), the wartime foo fighters of the 1940s, the MH370 orbs of the 2014 Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappearance, the 2024 Manchester orb sightings, and the Late 2024 UAP and orb sighting wave. Distinct triangular and tic-tac-shaped craft are treated separately under black triangle and Tic Tac UAP. Three broad categories are distinguished: extraterrestrial orbs (deployed by advanced craft or space arks), human-manufactured orbs (developed by military-corporate programs), and interdimensional or plasma orbs associated with consciousness and organic phenomena.

Historical sightings

Catholic archival records from 1200 to 1800 contain accounts of unidentified aerial luminous objects. Religion scholar Diana Pasulka reported that medieval Catholics regularly documented orb sightings, often interpreting them within their theological framework: "We saw this orb, we don't know what it is, but we think it's a soul from Purgatory. So we're going to pray it back to where it should go." Pasulka described pattern-matching these medieval case reports with modern UFO sighting testimony, finding consistent morphological descriptions across centuries.

Orb-type objects appear in documented European records from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Michael Salla cites a 1561 woodcut by Hans Glaser describing the sky battle of the 1561 celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg, in which globular metallic objects were observed: "and in the sun above and below and on both sides the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull partly black brass color" — a description consistent with a metallic orb. A second sky battle involving black and white orbs was recorded in Basel, Switzerland, in 1565.

During the Second World War, Allied pilots reported luminous objects following their aircraft over Germany, initially assumed to be a Nazi secret weapon. The Nazis had developed four types of orbs: the fireball, ball lightning, a ball weapon, and a decoy called "soap bubbles," reportedly with reptilian extraterrestrial assistance.

Modern documented incidents

Several officially filmed incidents establish the physical reality of orbs in modern military records:

2004 Gulf of Mexico: Mexican Air Force surveillance aircraft filming drug-smuggling activity captured a formation of orbs on infrared camera flying at altitude over the Gulf. The orbs were not visible to the naked eye and came within close proximity to the aircraft.
2005 U.S. Navy orb video: Among the Navy UAP videos declassified in the early 2000s, one film — separate from the better-known Tic Tac UAP footage — showed a spherical object observed by F-18 pilots over a naval testing ground.
Mosul orb (2016): A metallic orb filmed over Mosul, Iraq during the American occupation was later made public by researchers Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp. This is official military/intelligence film footage rather than civilian or CGI material. Corbell described the Mosul Orb as one of several pieces of military-platform footage leaked to him and Knapp, alongside items such as "the Baghdad Phantom," noting that all such material was sourced from military platforms and vetted for national security concerns before publication.
San Diego submergence: Navy film footage captured an orb flying over the ocean off the coast of San Diego and submerging into the water.

Relationship to space arks and motherships

JP, a U.S. Army source cited by Salla, reported being shown a library aboard an underground facility that explained the relationship between orbs and the larger craft deploying them. He described orbs as controlled by space arks, which are themselves associated with the Intergalactic Confederation: "these orbs are being controlled by the Arks, but we all know who control the Arks."

JP described specific people — those with particular DNA or energetic connections to the arks — as capable of summoning orbs: "people that have the DNA are connected to these Arks and it's kind of interesting because... there's people that are connected to these Arks as well as connected to these orbs, and these orbs sometimes pick up these particular people that are chosen to bring them back to the Ark for them to download the information."

Alex Collier described orbs as actively searching for personnel suited for the larger ships: "the orbs, they're moving around the planet looking for crew. Or passengers, which would be crew. If you're on board of a ship, you know, and you do anything, you're part of the crew."

A 2023 paper by Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb and All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office director Sean Kirkpatrick proposed that motherships arriving in the solar system could be responsible for the proliferation of small metallic orbs — a conclusion JP found consistent with the information he had received through the military.

As of the period discussed in this webinar, six Intergalactic Confederation motherships were described as being cloaked in Earth orbit, having begun arriving in 2022, with their deployment of orbs representing a form of planetary monitoring and consciousness assessment: "they're not so much interested in an individual, but they're interested in the collective consciousness."

Deep state confusion operations

A deliberate effort by negative factions to confuse the public regarding orbs is described by releasing hostile or menacing drone-type craft simultaneously with the genuine benevolent probes: "because of the bad ones, people get confused with the good ones... everything is going to be a threat that's floating around." This is a deliberate strategy to trigger fear of the positive ark-and-mothership probes by releasing look-alike craft and coordinating mainstream media coverage framing orbs as national security threats.

Orbs as extraterrestrial craft signatures

Elena Danaan documents two distinct ET species whose ships appear as orbs. The Onhorai of Akhoria (fourth planet of the Altair system) — a 6th–7th density benevolent humanoid race — travel through space in craft that "appear as white glowing orbs," according to Danaan's species catalogue. Additionally, the Arcturians (Ohorai) deploy small spherical "probe" shuttle craft — described as "small shuttle crafts, spherical in shape, also named 'probes'" — employed specifically to shift magnetic grid points on Earth as part of the planetary consciousness elevation program. These accounts corroborate the broader three-category framework (ET, human-manufactured, interdimensional) by establishing specific species whose ship design is spherical/orb-format.
