Another unidentified flying object (UFO) sighting has emerged in the United States amid an ongoing government effort to declassify and release records on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).

The development comes as the US Department of War, formerly the Department of Defense, continues to publish previously classified UFO-related files under the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE).

The initiative involves records from several government agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Department of Energy.

Against this backdrop, a strange jellyfish-shaped object has been filmed hovering in the sky near a US military base in Alaska before seemingly disappearing within minutes.

According to a report by Metro.co.uk on November 11, 2026, the object was spotted by Sara Jane Osborn, who was taking photographs of a rainbow in Anchorage, Alaska, when she noticed a dark shape rising above distant trees.

Osborn believes the object was near Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), a major US military installation that houses F-22 Raptor fighter jets and supports air defence and surveillance operations.

The sighting reportedly occurred at around 10:13 pm on June 15, when the sky was still bright.

Initially, Osborn thought the unusual shape was an insect obstructing her camera lens.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she recalled being annoyed by what she initially thought was a mosquito.

"I was annoyed, because I was like, is that a mosquito?" she said.

However, when she looked beyond her phone screen, she realised that the object was considerably larger than she had first assumed.

She subsequently alerted her husband, Pete, who was with her at the time, and began taking photographs and recording the mysterious object.

According to Osborn, the object appeared to have several dangling appendages that moved independently as it hovered in the sky and turned from side to side.

She estimated that it remained visible for approximately three minutes before disappearing almost as suddenly as it had appeared.

"It disappeared almost as quickly as it came," she said.

The sighting has added to the growing number of reported encounters with unidentified objects in the United States, particularly as government agencies continue to review and release historical records of unexplained aerial phenomena.

However, the nature and origin of the object spotted in Anchorage remain unclear.
