SIGHTING: HERAKLON & LASITHI, CRETE, GREECE

Witness Testimony

"UFO over Falcon-9, Greece, 11 August 2026. At dusk on August 11, 2026, an unusual luminous phenomenon was observed in the skies over Crete, and within a short period, dozens of reports were recorded from Naxos, Laconia, southern Evia, and Attica. Eyewitnesses described a small, intensely bright cloud moving at high speed, while most accounts displayed remarkable similarities in both its appearance and its movement. Initial assessments focused on several possible explanations, including a meteor, a satellite, a drone, or a flare. However, an analysis of the photographs and video footage revealed that the luminous cloud corresponded to the exhaust plume of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, whose launch had been announced as visible from Greece. Nevertheless, a second luminous object appearing above the cloud in several images captured by different witnesses remains unexplained. In four independent photographs taken from the viewing perspective of Crete, the same object can be clearly identified, while a high-resolution image appears to reveal characteristics resembling those of a flying saucer, raising numerous questions.
