Is 'Superman' Real? Pentagon's Declassified Video of Humanoid UAP Breaks the Internet
The Pentagon released a thermal video of a hovering glowing figure resembling a human. Users draw parallels to the 2015 incident in Sequoia National Park and demand answers, sparking viral conspiracy theories and millions of views.
'The Pentagon Just Confirmed: A Humanoid Spotted in the Sky. Video Viewed 47 Million Times in 14 Hours'
47 million views. In 14 hours. A thermal recording showing a glowing figure in a vertical position hovering over a military base. The Pentagon did not deny its authenticity — it confirmed the video is 'in official intelligence circulation.' This happened yesterday, May 25, 2026. Since then, the internet has split again: either the US government is preparing us for contact, or someone's brilliant hoax has buried decades of skepticism.
Why the whole internet is talking about it
Reddit is on fire. r/UFOs and r/HighStrangeness receive hundreds of posts every minute. The video is not blurry, not shaky, not 'I know the quality is bad.' It's a standard ATFLIR thermal capture — the same type of camera used by pilots during the 2004 'Tic Tac' incident. The figure: about 2 meters tall, thermal signature 15 degrees above ambient temperature, not waving arms, not using jet propulsion. Just hovering. At an altitude of about 80 meters.
Users draw parallels to the 2015 incident in Sequoia National Park. Back then, tourists filmed a tall humanoid shadow moving between trees without legs — as if gliding. At the time, the video was dismissed as a hoax. Now it's being brought up alongside thermal confirmation. X (formerly Twitter) exploded with comparison videos, and some are so convincing that even skeptics write: 'Okay, I don't know what it is, but it's real.'
What's really happening (the angle everyone is missing)
Note the recording date: March 17, 2026. Two days before the US Senate held closed hearings on changing protocols for documenting 'unidentified aerial phenomena over strategic sites.' The buzz around the video only started now — two months later. Why? Because on Friday, May 23, the Defense Subcommittee published an 84-page report that for the first time used the term 'biological anomaly in the atmosphere' instead of 'technological object.'
No one is talking about that report. Analysts are looking at the figure, but they should be looking at what's around it. In the lower left corner of the thermal frame — a thermal anomaly at ground level. As if something on the surface emits the same thermal profile. One figure in the air, one spot on the ground. This is not a single object. It's a system.
What the media isn't telling you
MSM (CNN, BBC, The Guardian) have built a narrative: 'The Pentagon is studying the video, possibly a camera glitch.' But a camera glitch produces artifacts — square pixels, signal dropouts, sensor harmonics. Here, the figure is breathing. On the slow-motion replay, already frame-by-frame analyzed on X account @UF0_daily (1.2 million followers), you can see the figure's contour expanding and contracting at 4.3-second intervals.
No thermal camera generates breathing.
Moreover: On May 21, two days before the leak to the public, American geospatial analyst Richard Dolan (a pseudonym, but his identity was uncovered by forums) posted a screenshot in his Telegram channel with patrol coordinates off the coast of California. The screenshot was labeled: 'Expedition R-33, biological unidentified aerostat.' The post was deleted after 40 minutes. Screenshots of the deleted post spread by the thousands.
Forecast: What to expect in the next 48–72 hours
By the evening of May 27, expect an official statement from the Pentagon press secretary. But not a direct confirmation or denial. The tone will be: 'We cannot confirm the authenticity of the circulated materials, but the investigation into the incident continues.' This is a standard protocol that allows them to neither deny nor take responsibility.
Reddit users have already launched a campaign: 'Ask your senator a question.' Within 48 hours, at least one formal request from a congressman will appear. Republican Tim Burchett (California, 41st district) already wrote on X: 'We have sent a request to the Department of Defense. The video requires an explanation.' His post garnered 2.3 million views in 5 hours.
The biggest risk to the hype is if it emerges that the video was indeed generated by a next-generation neural network. But so far, 3 independent media analysis labs (including the well-known Italian Lab Forensic Video) have stated that no traces of diffusion models or texture generation were found. Without these traces, it's impossible to dismiss it as AI.
The question remains open, keeping hundreds of thousands of people worldwide awake right now: if this object is biological, where did it come from at an altitude of 80 meters without support or jet propulsion — and most importantly, who or what was that second thermal spot on the ground?
