The Encounter
The experiencers are Donna Leonardo and the Tedesco brothers, who are citizen scientists investigating UAPs in New Jersey and New York. They observed unusual drone-like objects off the coast, which resembled quadcopters but were silent and difficult to see without infrared cameras. They reported these sightings to the FBI due to safety concerns, as the objects were flying in restricted airspace. They also described a luminous spherical object seen on July 5, 2025, which was only visible through advanced cameras and appeared to move intelligently against the wind. The encounter has led to ongoing investigations and a heightened interest from authorities, indicating a significant impact on their understanding of aerial phenomena.
Program Intelligence Analysis
The Nightcrawler team discusses their ongoing investigations into anomalous aerial phenomena near JFK International Airport, including unusual drone activity and luminous spherical objects. They emphasize the importance of their findings and the interest shown by the FBI in these sightings.
The Nightcrawler team has recorded unusual drone activity and luminous spherical objects that are not visible to the naked eye but detectable with advanced infrared technology.
Donna Leonardo
“We believe the only reason why we saw the object was might have been from sea spray or something kind of cooling effect.”
Jerry Tedesco
“We had a radar target. We tracked on radar.”
John Tedesco
“The object was moving against the wind.”

Investigate and document UAP sightings
The Nightcrawler team has recorded unusual drone activity near JFK International Airport, including large commercial-type drones that are difficult to see without infrared technology.
The drones observed were silent and exhibited unusual flight patterns, including shutting off their lights and changing positions.
The Nightcrawler team observed luminous spherical objects that were not visible to the naked eye but detectable with advanced infrared cameras.
The objects observed by the Nightcrawler team displayed intelligent control and maneuvering capabilities.
The FBI is taking the sightings seriously and has shown genuine interest in the Nightcrawler team's findings.
The Nightcrawler team has observed black triangular objects emerging from clouds, which were corroborated by radar data.

Phenomenological AnalysisThe transcript presents a detailed discussion of multiple UAP sightings by a group of citizen scientists, including specific observations and technical data. However, the lack of direct first-person accounts from the witnesses and the reliance on anecdotal evidence limits the overall evidential strength.
The experiencers began observing unusual drone-like objects off the coast, noting their silent operation and unusual characteristics.
“These things quiet; we heard nothing from these and we should have heard at least the rotor.”
The experiencers used advanced cameras to capture a luminous sphere over the ocean, which was invisible to the naked eye.
“This was invisible to the eye completely invisible. It was only through the hyperspectral cameras.”
The experiencers discussed their findings with each other, noting the intelligent behavior of the observed objects.
“Yes, it was definitely an intelligent control over it.”
The experiencers concluded their observations and discussions, noting the ongoing nature of these sightings.
“The drone-like objects that we're seeing seem to pop up in a September to November time frame.”

Radar and spectrum anomalies detected
Five Observables (3/5)
The experiencers observed a black triangular object emerging from a cloud, exhibiting unusual movement and stealth characteristics.
The encounter involved multiple advanced observational techniques and corroborated data points, indicating a complex and intelligent phenomenon.

Phenomenological AnalysisThe speaker provides a detailed account of multiple UAP sightings, including specific observations of behavior and characteristics. However, the credibility context is weak, and while there are some corroborative elements, they are not robust enough to elevate the score significantly.
The experiencer observed a cloud that appeared different from others, which coincided with radar tracking.
“we walked outside. We were looking up and we said this is the only cloud that looked different from everything else”
An object began to emerge from the cloud, moving at high speed and under intelligent control.
“the moment you switched on your dualband marine radar and started scanning that cloud, that's when there was a reaction”
Experiencers felt a connection with the phenomenon, sensing impulses to look at the sky.
“sometimes they seem to appear directly in front of us or where we move our location”
The object departed quietly, leaving the experiencers intrigued and wanting further encounters.
“we want that experience because what better way to research this phenomena than to become a part of it”
Experiencers felt summoned to observe the phenomenon.
Observed a luminous object with distinct colors and shapes.
Radar tracking and environmental anomalies noted.
Appearance: luminous object with red and orange colors, emitting vapor
Five Observables (3/5)
A luminous object emerged from a cloud, moving silently and rapidly, displaying unusual characteristics.
The experiencers felt a direct connection to the phenomenon, sensing impulses to observe it, which is unusual in UAP encounters.
