Mysterious UFO spotted dangerously close to the International Space Station

Famous UFO hunter Scott Waring is not slowing down his search for new evidence of unexplained phenomena. This time, he has turned his attention to footage recorded during a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft operation near the International Space Station.

Waring believes he has spotted three unidentified objects moving close to the orbital outpost, including one that allegedly came dangerously close to the station.

After examining the recording, Waring highlighted what he considers the most extraordinary moment. According to his calculations, one of the objects was approximately seven meters across and may have passed within just 25 meters of the ISS. He based these estimates on the station’s approximate 109-meter span, although neither the object’s dimensions nor the claimed distance has been confirmed by NASA.

The footage shows several unusual shapes near the Dragon capsule as it approaches the orbital station. In enlarged and slowed-down sequences, one object appears to change its position, seemingly moving closer before drifting away again. The video also highlights two other possible objects that appear in earlier parts of the recording.

One particularly curious moment occurs when a bright, narrow feature seems to extend between an unidentified shape and the Dragon spacecraft. It creates the impression of a beam of light directed toward the capsule.

Whether this is an actual light phenomenon, a reflection or an effect caused by the camera remains unclear.

The recording also includes an explanation of the safety procedures used during Dragon’s approach to the ISS. The spacecraft must pass through designated flight zones, including an approach ellipsoid measuring four kilometers by two kilometers by two kilometers.

A smaller safety zone, known as the keep-out sphere, has a radius of approximately 200 meters. These boundaries allow controllers to monitor the spacecraft and verify that its approach is proceeding safely.

Another striking detail is the apparent movement of the objects. In the slowed footage, their positions seem to shift in an unusual way, prompting comparisons with descriptions of disc-shaped UFOs. The video even brings to mind claims previously made by Bob Lazar about how such objects supposedly move.

Could these shapes be ordinary objects appearing unusual because of perspective, lighting and camera movement? Or is there something else in the footage that deserves closer examination? At present, there is no official identification of the objects, and the suggested distances and dimensions remain unverified.

Earlier it was also reported that users of social networks asked themselves: What was this black cube in the sky over Mexico? The strange object hovered over the trees for five hours, forcing UFO watchers to search for answers.
