Lousada UFO Sighting: Lights Over the Vale de Sousa (11 August 2026)
At 01:00 WEST on 11 August 2026, two witnesses in Lousada reported three colour-changing stationary lights forming an apparent triangle and a fourth light moving toward them during an observation said to last about two hours. A Samsung S24 Ultra video was submitted through a structured sighting form
Why This Case Matters
Better documented than many social clips because the reporter supplied time, coordinates, duration, device and a second witness, but the described red/white/yellow lighting and lack of extraordinary kinematics leave drones and ordinary lights as strong candidates.
Chronology
- 11 Aug 2026 01:00 WEST observation begins/recorded in Lousada
- three stationary colour-changing points noted toward NE
- fourth moving/rotating light filmed near one stationary point
- witnesses report ~2 h duration
- structured report posted to Reddit/archive
The Witnesses
Evidence
The following evidence types are documented for this case:
Conventional explanations: Drone/navigation lights are a strong fit for red/white/yellow irregular flashing and controlled movement; fixed stars/planets plus a separate aircraft/drone could produce a mixed-source display.
What Remains Unresolved
- Original-quality archive file and metadata
- second-witness statement
- exact azimuth/elevation per light
- two-hour continuity
- ADS-B history
- local drone activity
- full astronomy/satellite reconstruction.
Key Takeaways
- The report is unusually specific for a social sighting, but its own five-observables answers include no extreme acceleration or speed. Do not turn an apparent triangle of lights into evidence for a triangular craft.
