## Key points

- A video near an Anchorage military base shows a strange airborne object.
- A former Pentagon investigator says its motion resembles a kite with streamers.
- The footage and wind records are not enough to identify it.

## Summary

A video of a dark, jellyfish-shaped object near Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage has prompted online speculation about what it might be. Sean Kirkpatrick, who formerly led the Pentagon office investigating unidentified anomalous phenomena, said the footage is too limited to identify the object, but its movement resembles a kite with streamers.

Sara Jane Osborn recorded the sighting at about 10.15pm on 15 June 2026 and posted it the next day; the base confirmed it was aware of the video but offered no further information. Weather records show westerly winds of 16mph at 9.55pm and west-south-westerly winds of 15mph at 10.55pm, though those figures do not establish what the object was or how it moved. Kirkpatrick said the video does not reveal its size, altitude or distance, and cautioned that online footage can be compressed or fabricated.
