Today, two posts on X sent a familiar shape back into circulation: a dark, jellyfish-like object with dangling arms, filmed against an Alaska sky. Attorney and radio host Eric Deters (@bulllaw) shared a 43-second clip this afternoon captioned, "Giant UFO with dangling tentacles hovers near US military base before vanishing." A little later, commentator Mario Nawfal posted a Daily Mail cut of similar footage and summarized the story behind it.

🚨🇺🇸 WTF... A giant jellyfish-shaped object was filmed hovering over the forest near a US Air Force base in Alaska

A couple shooting a rainbow in Anchorage caught the dark, black-and-silver shape with dangling arms moving on their own near Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, home… pic.twitter.com/nQGiyLxvwQ
According to an interview published by the Daily Mail and also reported by IBTimes UK, the person who recorded it is Sara Jane Osborn. She said the encounter happened on June 15, 2026, at about 10:13 p.m., while she and her husband, Pete, were visiting Anchorage on business. The evening sky was still bright, as mid-June evenings in Alaska often are, and Osborn had been photographing a rainbow through an open car window along Sixth Avenue.
Pete pulled into an empty downtown parking area so she could get a clearer shot, and then something appeared on her phone screen. "I was annoyed, because I was like, is that a mosquito?" she told the Daily Mail. When she looked past the lens, she saw a dark shape hovering above distant trees. She described it as black and silver, with dangling appendages that seemed to move independently as it turned from side to side. She took still photographs in rapid succession, then started recording video.
Her first thought was a kite. The trees were moving in a breeze, but she said the motion did not match kite tails streaming in the wind. "It was very clearly not a kite in its movements," she said. The shape, by her estimate, stayed in view for about three minutes. "It disappeared almost as quickly as it came."
The couple then went looking for an ordinary explanation. They checked a nearby park for anyone packing up a kite and found no one, then drove toward Arctic Valley and searched for roughly 30 minutes. Pete estimated the object might have been within about three miles, though that distance was never confirmed.
The couple believed the object was in the direction of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the Anchorage-area installation that supports F-22 Raptor operations. That part of the story has not been independently verified. Neither outlet established a military connection, and a kite, a drone, or another conventional object has not been ruled out. Osborn herself left the door open. "You know, maybe it's a drone-type thing," she said. She also said they could not find anyone else who saw it at the same time. "Because it was there, and then it wasn't," she said. "I can't deny that it happened."
If the silhouette looks familiar, there is a reason. In January 2024, filmmaker Jeremy Corbell released infrared footage of a bulbous, tentacled object that he said had been filmed over a U.S. joint operations base in Iraq in 2018. The clip, quickly nicknamed the "jellyfish" UAP, showed an irregular shape with trailing appendages drifting over a military installation. Corbell claimed the object later displayed transmedium behavior, including a stretch underwater.
The official record, released later, put the filming on October 23, 2017, not 2018. An infrared sensor aboard a force-protection aerostat flying at 2,700 feet above Al Taqaddum Air Base, Iraq, recorded 17 minutes and 30 seconds of the object. The Defense Department later posted the video through DVIDS as "The Al Taqaddum Object." On September 8, 2025, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office assessed with high confidence that it was not anomalous and was consistent with a cluster of fully and partially inflated balloons, moving at roughly 4 to 14 miles per hour with the wind.
That does not automatically explain what Osborn filmed over Anchorage almost nine years later. The two events are different times, places, and cameras: one military infrared, the other a civilian phone video taken during a rainbow photo stop. What they share is a shape that keeps pulling people in: a rounded body and trailing arms, hanging in the air just long enough to be recorded, then gone.
As of today, there is no public confirmation from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, and no independent analysis has settled what is in the Anchorage video. The footage circulating on X matches the scene in the Daily Mail report, including the rainbow and the dark shape over the trees, but the original files have not been independently authenticated here, and a conventional object has not been ruled out. For now, the honest version is the one Osborn herself offered. Something was there. Then it wasn't. And the sky over Anchorage, once again, has a jellyfish story attached to it.
