2024: January UAP & Alien Sightings
The year began with a global surge in unidentified anomalous phenomena, with January 2024 serving as a catalyst for new debates on transparency and disclosure. From the viral chaos of “shadowy entities” at Miami’s Bayside Marketplace to a remarkable hour-long encounter with a massive chevron-shaped craft in Lindau, Germany, this month provided some of the year’s most puzzling reports. While official investigations often point toward authorized drones or atmospheric anomalies, the sheer scale and unusual characteristics of these January sightings continue to challenge conventional explanations. This archive explores the most significant cases from the first month of 2024, documenting sightings that moved from local headlines to the center of the global UAP conversation.

Summary: The night before, I spotted an oval big UAP over the valley. It was visible for a short moment and moved. After 2 minutes, it was again visible for a short moment, but closer to my position. It vanished after a couple of seconds. It was not an orb; the shape was more like a flying saucer. The UAP was glowing in a red/dark orange color, very characteristic. The next night, I went out again for a run, looking to see something again. I passed the spot from the night before without seeing anything.
I continued my run, and after approximately another kilometer, I saw a small light up in the sky with the special color again. It was small and blinked out. I knew it was this UAP again. I got out my camera and tried to film it, but the light was not visible on my camera. Then a second, third, and fourth light appeared, with the fourth appearing very strongly, like arriving from hyperspace in a Star Trek movie. I realized I was in the middle of nowhere in the darkness and remembered all the things I read about the phenomenon. I called a friend to tell him. We talked for a few minutes before hanging up. After the call, I looked to my left and saw an orb appear in the valley, near my position. More orbs appeared and disappeared throughout the valley in multiple events. I felt threatened because of the increasing activity of UAP/Orbs in the valley, and I was the only person out there. I decided to not continue my run and turn back to the small town behind me.
When I ran back, I suddenly saw a light 10 to 20 meters in front of me, illuminating the dirt road. I could not see the field to my left because it was elevated, but I realized it must be the light from one of these orbs. In the same moment, I realized another orb was approximately 100 meters in front of me over the dirt road, motionless and fully illuminated, like watching me. I felt really threatened. I called my friend again, just in case I would vanish or something. The light in front of me vanished. After running another couple of meters, I could see the field to my left. Another orb was standing atop this field on the highest point, clearly visible. I filmed this orb for some minutes; it was like in an overwatch position. Then I turned around to the valley and saw a clearly visible landed craft. It was big, with lights around the edges, first looking like a circus tent with illuminated outlines. Although clearly visible, the lights were very dimmed. I tried to film it, but the lights were not visible on the camera for some minutes. After some minutes, I saw it on the camera and tried filming, taking photos, and using Google’s Night Sight. The Night Sight yielded the best results. The craft appeared much bigger in reality than in the photos. If you stretch your arms, hold your hands like a triangle, and distance your arms about 30 centimeters apart, you get an approximate idea of its size. It might have been as big as an airliner.
During the whole event, small crafts or orbs flew to and from the main craft, blinking into and out of visibility. This happened on both sides of the main craft, with approach and departure lines at the lower part of the craft, at the same elevation on the left and right. This can be seen in some photos I made. Throughout the valley, orb activity continued. After one hour, I decided to leave and run back to the village where my house is. I had to cross approximately 3 kilometers of open fields. During this, I saw one orb above my village, which appeared and slowly sank down sideways. During the whole event, I saw only one car on the surrounding roads; it was a super quiet night with nearly no traffic.
After the event, I tried to explain what I saw as a phenomenon of nature because it seemed so unbelievable and straight out of a Steven Spielberg movie. Google Fit and Google Timeline were activated, and the photos have location data. There is no other light source where the main craft was seen; it was clearly visible. In the following days, I ran the same track three times. All was normal again, with no events.
