Hey everyone,

This is a follow-up to my previous post about a sighting on 9 UAPs filmed in Porto, Portugal on September 8th, 2023. \[Here’s the original post\]: [https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1k5fmxc/i\_filmed\_what\_i\_thought\_was\_one\_metallic\_orb\_a/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1k5fmxc/i_filmed_what_i_thought_was_one_metallic_orb_a/)

A member of the community (huge thanks to [u/DuelingGroks](https://www.reddit.com/user/DuelingGroks/)) helped further stabilize my footage, and it revealed even more interesting details about the main metallic sphere:

* It appears to rotate horizontally on the X-axis while flying.
* When it makes sharper or faster directional changes, the rotation intensifies and it starts spinning across both the X and Y axes.
* These details were much harder to catch in the original footage but are now much clearer thanks to the stabilization work.

I’d really love to hear thoughts, theories, and analyses from others, whether in the comments or even via DM if you want to dive deeper. I’m trying to fully understand and study this phenomenon as much as possible.

Also, for those who missed it, here’s a description of what it felt like and what I personally observed before I started recording:

* It seemed to me that the metallic sphere flew **directly over my head at low altitude** (around 50 meters / 164 feet).
* Its movement felt very fluid and controlled, not drifting like a balloon, but not zipping like a drone either—it had a very smooth, purposeful motion.
* Visually, it looked round and reflective, with the sunlight sometimes creating a rainbow glint off its surface.
* I didn’t hear any sound coming from it, and I noticed that the seagulls around didn’t react at all, which stood out to me because they almost always go after drones.
* It didn’t seem affected by the wind and appeared to move with intent.

At a certain point I misaligned the phone with the binoculars and lost sight of the object—both visually at that moment and later when reviewing the footage.

I’m not sure exactly where it went or at what speed it disappeared, but judging by the 8 other orbs in the video, I would assume the main sphere might have left at a similar speed.

Thanks again to everyone who’s looked at the footage so far — it means a lot to be able to share and learn with this community. Looking forward to hearing what you all think about this updated view!
