Folks, for a few months now, I’ve been seeing UFO activity in the skies over Tenerife. It involves a specific area of the sky that, based on my observations, shifts position. Within this area, numerous lights appear and vanish every minute. Several usually appear at once—briefly—and then disappear. They move horizontally, typically in a specific direction. First off, please excuse my phrasing; there’s a lot of information here, and I wrote it all in one go.

In total, I’ve witnessed the phenomenon over three nights: the last two, and one other a few months back. Well, I decided to record it. Setting up the camera and trying to film the phenomenon is a real hassle, but I overcame my reluctance and tried to capture those moving lights. I have an old Nikon semi-DSLR with a good built-in telephoto lens. I pointed it at the sky and managed to get a recording. But I didn't just capture the moving ones. It turns out I hit the jackpot; I managed to record an hour of footage showing objects that must be so far away they’re invisible to the naked eye. Later, when my camera battery died, I tried to find that spot again, but it was impossible. Basically, I had pointed the camera into the blackness and—by chance—focused on two luminous objects. They were static. They stayed there for hours. This suggests to me that they aren't stars or other cosmic bodies.

I know what Starlink looks like, and this isn't it. It’s not the ISS, either. I’m sharing the footage with you all. I’d like to see if anyone can tell me what that phenomenon of moving lights is (as a skeptic, I try to tell myself they’re satellites), but—above all—what is this thing I recorded, which I’ve dubbed "Pepitas de oro" (gold nuggets).

These are the others videos that I uploaded to Youtube. I strongly recommend the "Moving UAPS" as well.

What can be seen in the first two videos is—apparently—two luminous objects or apertures that remain stationary for hours. On the right side of the "large nugget" (the lower one), lights of similar size appear in sequence at intervals. They seem to vanish as they pass behind something, though at other times, the lights continue on a longer downward path. The "gold nuggets 1" video is full of these sequences; I recommend watching the one at the 2:22 mark. When I recorded it, I couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and unease. Then there are other lights—red ones—that move upwards. I don't understand why the red ones rise. Well, actually, I don't understand any of what I've recorded. As I review the footage, I’ll post another comment noting the most significant timestamps.

Based on their behavior, they seem mechanical—almost as if I were filming a massive satellite or machine fixed in space. As seen in the video compiled from mobile phone footage, the camera is pointed at a random spot in the night sky, albeit close to the horizon.

Regarding the "gold nuggets" footage: the videos are sped up during periods of inactivity and returned to normal speed when these lights appear on the right side. I slightly boosted the gamma and contrast to improve clarity. The original videos run for about an hour. In the "FANI" video, I show the raw sequences followed by zoomed-in versions. The bright point appearing on the right side of these videos is a star—I believe it is Capella, in the constellation Auriga (I verified this with Skymap while recording).

There are 4 videos in total:

2 showing the two lights with strange patterns—"gold nuggets."

1 showing the actual phenomenon I described at the start of the comment: the moving lights—a UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon).

1 raw compilation of the sightings recorded on my mobile phone as best I could; this shows the same phenomenon described at the beginning.

If you spot anything I might have missed, please let me know.


So, am witnessing some kind of satellite structure of some kind? Does anyone know what this might be about?
