A UFO sighting in Montana has sparked a wave of curiosity after a man captured eerie videos and photos of an unidentified flying object (UFO) and shared them on Reddit. The sighting occurred on Friday, September 6, between 10:10 and 10:15 pm local time, when the man and his wife noticed a strange, glittering object flying across the night sky over the small town of Choteau.
Initially, the couple thought they were witnessing a meteor, but soon realized it was something far more unusual. The man, posting under the username PoneThePoon, described his shock as he saw the object, saying, “My jaw dropped,” and recalling how both he and his wife rushed into their yard to get a better look.
What the video shows
In the footage, a spinning, glittery disc can be seen flying silently across the sky, emitting an orange-red light. The object appeared to be large and far away, and the man described the sighting as lasting between two to three minutes before the UFO vanished without a trace.
