WATCH: South Idaho Couple Captures Circular UFO With ‘Tail’

A new video has surfaced that was shot by a South Idaho couple in their yard on a clear day, which appears to show an unidentified flying object (unidentified anomalous phenomena or 'UAP' nowadays) with an unusual shape and displaying uncharacteristic maneuvers.

The video describes the object as being at an elevation of roughly 500 feet, blinking, and displaying something resembling a 'tail.' Idaho Falls is 50 miles northeast of Pocatello. Multiple reports of UAPs have come to light in recent weeks in the southeastern portion of Idaho.

During the video, you can hear the couple discussing what the object could be as it drifts behind trees and seems to accelerate out of view. According to the witnesses, the object also had a reflective surface.

The witnesses' depiction of the UAP is also reminiscent of a September 2025 object that was recorded by another Southern Idaho witness. It too drifted in a similar manner, appeared to have a tail, and was reflective. The 2025 footage was shot in Downey, 90 miles south of Idaho Falls.

Based in Washington State, the National UFO Reporting Center is the nation's leading UAP research and investigations body and has published reports on 20 sightings in the Gem State dating back to January 1, 2026. The agency also recently investigated a sighting over St. Anthony, Idaho.

The most recent report from NUFORC was published on October 3 and took place in Jenkins Will, 54 miles north of Idaho Falls.
