Compact halo
Red, orange, amber or plasma-like emission, sometimes with a darker center or bright rim.
Evidence model
Verified sources for the Foo Fighter phenotype.
HEDHub is built around a narrow evidence target: compact red/orange luminous events that can be captured, rejected, tracked, compared and triangulated by instruments.
Target phenotype
Non-ballistic motion
Hover, lateral travel, direction change, tandem geometry, relative rotation or fade behavior.
Rejectable first
Every event must survive aircraft, satellite, meteor, reentry, drone, lantern, flare, bokeh and media-artifact checks.
Anchor case cards
These verified sources define the capture target. The next step is not internet debate; it is synchronized station capture, geometry, spectroscopy and multi-sensor analysis.
AAltea 2015
Signature: orange plasma-like orb; mountain behind; horizontal path toward the sea.
Why it matters: witness anchor for the low, red/orange, terrain-referenced profile.
- Next measurement
- Synchronized stations, original files and triangulation.
APR002 - Red Orb Rotation
Source: DVIDS / AARO / FBI. Two bright red sources, hover, relative rotation.
Why it matters: official visible case with two-source geometry.
- Next measurement
- Range, altitude and relative motion from multiple stations.
APR003 - Orbs Over the Pond
Source: DVIDS / AARO / FBI. Plasma-like sphere, hover, form/luminosity change.
Why it matters: visible core over water with changing structure.
- Next measurement
- Water-background capture with original files and station metadata.
AClearest public red-orb encounter
Source: DVIDS / AARO / FBI. Red sphere, white plasma-like center, low altitude, tandem/fusion.
Why it matters: strongest official mirror of the Altea witness profile and the first HEDHub capture target.
- Next measurement
- Synchronized station capture, exact geometry and triangulation.
Verified sightings map
Verified sources define the target.
The map is built from source-linked records that match or support the Foo Fighter phenotype. Balloons, fireworks, meteors, aircraft lights, lanterns, drones, bokeh and weak viral clips are rejection targets, not evidence anchors.

Source grade legend
Visible core / official or anchor
Best rows for defining the target phenotype.
Official support
Sensor, historical bridge or related mode that supports the phenotype model.
Historical analog
Older source-linked language and behavior references for torch, shield and compact luminous forms.
Rejection/control row
Kept to train the filter and prevent balloons, meteors, aircraft, lanterns or artifacts from defining the target.
