Author Shanna Swenson writes romance, but she has some other, stranger stories to tell. Shanna recently told me about a UFO sighting she and her husband experienced a few years ago in Georgia. At the time, Shanna, her husband, and a cousin were driving home from dinner on a clear December night. They were making their way down a two-lane road on the outskirts of Cumming, where she and her husband live. At some point, she saw an unidentifiable red light in the sky. She pointed the orb out to her husband, and it suddenly began splitting into multiple lights. (Click here to see an example.) Any thoughts that the light might be a cell tower vanished as the red UFO became six pinkish-orange orbs.

Shanna’s husband pulled the truck over, and the travelers got out to watch the sky. In stark silence, the trio observed, spellbound, as the orbs began a slow, rhythmic pulse and moved farther apart. No motor hum, no sound of any kind issued from the UFOs. As they watched, the glowing array continued toward them and passed directly over their heads. Shanna says, “they flew over our heads and as quickly as they appeared, they vanished! We were all completely mystified.”

The author explained that while not desolate, the road they traveled that night is outside the city limits. Her sighting occurred around 11:00 pm and lasted only a few minutes. It is not unusual that they encountered no other traffic during the event, but other sightings are occasionally reported in the area.

UFO Formation Patterns

Shanna states that they were surprised and curious about what they saw, but they were not afraid. Unlike some reports, she had no sense that the UFOs were aware of being observed. The group had none of the aftereffects sometimes reported following a UFO sighting, such as nightmares or lost time.

I asked Shanna if the orbs formed a pattern of any kind during the sighting. She said there was no discernable pattern, but more like the single light was “breaking apart into a fan-like spread.”

I was curious if Shanna recognized any patterns because of a theory put forth by filmmaker Damon T. Berry in 2015. In his YouTube film Alien Contact, Berry claims UFOs are trying to communicate with humans using the most basic language possible. This language is neither music nor math, as some famous movies depict. Rather, Berry says, UFO language consists of constellation patterns. No more basic language could exist, he says, than showing humans the star patterns in their own skies. The filmmaker says it is common for groups of UFOs to change patterns five to seven times during a sighting. He believes this communication was not effective before the advent of cell phones, before the patterns could be routinely recorded and analyzed. Berry says UFO arrays form the patterns, then often repeat the series again during the same event.

Constellation Arrays

Berry’s film has been criticized for its quality and repetition, but the point it makes concerning UFO arrays is clear. Repeatedly, regardless of location, UFOs are seen forming similar patterns. This fact is easily proven by the most cursory online search for UFO pictures and videos. I noticed one pattern even before discovering Berry’s video–before I understood the shapes they form might be a communication. In several videos, I noticed UFOs forming a pattern that looks like either the Big or Little Dipper. According to Berry, other outlines formed by UFOs include Orion, Pegasus, and Cygnus.

Each of these constellations and asterisms (star formations contained in constellations) has been recognized by humans for thousands of years. Berry believes each star grouping features one or more significant elements known by any intelligent race, human or alien. The Dippers, for example, rotate about Polaris, the North Star. Polaris represents true north for Earth. Dubhe and Merak, the outer stars forming the bowl of the Big Dipper (part of Ursa Major) point to the last star in the handle of the Little Dipper—Polaris.

Cygnus (also known as the Swan) is sometimes called the Northern Cross. The constellation contains Cygnus X-1, a bright object that radiates X-rays. The X-rays result from a black hole and a blue star rotating around one another. The black hole pulls gasses from the star which heat up and emit X-rays.

Pegasus is shaped like a square. It is an asterism that can be used by stargazers to locate Andromeda.

Orion and the Pyramids

Last but not least is Orion. Specifically, Orion’s belt. The three stars comprising the belt are easily detectable and often used to locate other celestial bodies. How many pictures have we seen of three blue stars hanging in a dark sky over the pyramids? How many times have we been told the pyramids align with the stars in Orion’s belt?

Damon Berry thinks the pyramids of Giza were built long ago to warn alien spacefarers that Earth is “taken,” that intelligent life inhabits the planet, that this blue orb is not available for use or colonization. If Berry is right, and alien visitors are communicating by forming constellation patterns in our skies, how do we respond? What do we say? How do we say it? A lot more research is needed.

Sometimes complexity can be the opposite of interesting. We’ve all read things that are just manage to use 500 obscure five-dollar-words without saying anything at all, and we’ve all heard guitar solos that use every single possible note without hitting any emotional resonance whatsoever. Complex is not always what you need. The same is true for anomalous sightings. What’s weirder, a flying craft with all sorts of bells and whistles, lights and widgets sticking off its sides, or just a big pink square sitting in the middle of the ocean?

It’s certainly debatable, but there’s something especially strange about geometric shapes and solid colors. While that last sentence reads like the internal dialogue of an infant musing over the mobile hung above his crib, it remains true. Certain things don’t show up in nature all that much, and when they do it can spark a sense of awe, excitement, and even fear, despite the likely mundane explanation. It’s just strange. Such is the case for a recent piece of footage, filmed in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

Uploaded to the YouTube channel Disclose Screen ‘The Grimreefar,’ the video (which you can watch in full here) was allegedly captured somewhere in the western Pacific by a crew of fishermen. It shows a very bright pink rectangle on the horizon that seems to morph and change shape. The cameraman and the rest of the crew are shouting excitedly. They aren’t speaking English, so I have no idea what they’re saying. However, the Disclose Screen narrator is. He calls the video the one of the weirdest pieces of footage he’s seen, and refers to the glowing rectangle as “a massive energy” (sic). He also says that it looks like a Viking ghost ship, despite it being nowhere near Viking territory. He says it could also be aliens or “the government” (which government? It’s the middle of the ocean.) The narrator also says that he sees “Loch Ness monster-type things” popping out of the water, and other strange anomalies in the sky, including UFOs.

Wrong color scheme for a ghost ship, dude.

When the video is slowed down and these other anomalies are circled, there are a couple of dark saucer shapes that appear, however briefly, in the sky. They appear too briefly to give any reasonable analysis. That’s not the case for the rest of the claims, which we will now tackle one by one.

First, the Loch Ness monster-type things. What are they? We can answer that question with another: what do fishermen do? They fish. Those are fish. Or dolphins. Or birds. Or any other animal that lives in a part of the sea specifically targeted by fisherman, presumably on the knowledge that a lot of animals live there.

Next, the “massive energy” itself. You know, I think he’s right. It is “a massive energy.” It’s the sun! It looks like it’s changing shape because of the rolling of the waves, the reflection off the water, and the low resolution footage. It’s a beautiful sunset poking through the clouds on the horizon, captured by fisherman who are freaking out because it’s a stunning and beautiful natural phenomenon. If you can’t recognize when people are gushing about a fantastic sunset, then that is the canary in the coal mine, choking out it’s death rattle, telling you to go outside once in a while, for the love of all that is holy.

Look, on the horizon, a massive explosion of nuclear energy!

But that’s the thing. Sometimes nature appears in a way that seems utterly alien to us. It’s human nature to stand in awe and wonder when we see it. Otherworldly phenomena may indeed exist, but don’t let the search for it cheapen your appreciation for beautiful sunsets.
