A bizarre, jellyfish-shaped object with dangling tentacles has been captured on video hovering in the skies near a major U.S. military installation, leaving witnesses baffled by what they saw, the Daily Mail reports.
The mysterious sighting occurred June 15 in Anchorage, Alaska, in the direction of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, home to America's formidable F-22 Raptor fighter jets.
Sara Jane Osborn was photographing a rainbow with her husband, Pete, when she noticed an unusual black-and-silver object floating above the distant treetops. At first, Osborn thought it was an insect. "I was annoyed, because I was like, is that a mosquito?" she recalled in an interview with the Daily Mail.
However, the object appeared much farther away, sporting several tentacle-like appendages that seemed to move independently as it rotated through the sky.
The couple watched the strange spectacle for approximately three minutes before it abruptly vanished. "It disappeared almost as quickly as it came," Osborn said - dismissing suggestions that the object was an ordinary kite. "It was very clearly not a kite in its movements," she insisted.
