在阿拉斯加州安克雷奇一处主要美军基地附近，一段拍摄到的、形状酷似水母的怪异物体在天空中移动的视频引发了网络猜测，但五角大楼前UFO调查负责人表示，可能存在简单得多的解释。
A bizarre, jellyfish-shaped object filmed moving through the sky near a major U.S. military base in Anchorage, Alaska, has sparked online speculation, but the Pentagon's former top UFO investigator says there may be a much simpler explanation.
画面显示，该物体在空中似乎在脉动和变形，其下方的触须状物上下起伏、摆动。随着物体向画面左侧移动，触须拖在后面，随后物体又向右侧移回。
The object appears to pulse and shift in the air as the strands rise, fall and wave beneath it. As it moves toward the left side of the frame, the strands trail behind before the object moves back toward the right.
萨拉·简·奥斯本拍摄了这一异常景象，并于次日将视频发布到Facebook。
Sara Jane Osborn recorded the unusual sighting and posted the video to Facebook the following day.
“看起来他妈的像个外星人。我不喜欢这个，”奥斯本在录制时可以听到她说道。片刻后她说：“它移动得非常怪异。”
"It looks like a friggin alien. I don't like it," Osborn can be heard saying as she records the object. "It's moving very weirdly," she says moments later.
福克斯新闻数字频道联系了奥斯本，以获取关于该目击事件的更多细节。
Fox News Digital reached out to Osborn for additional details about the sighting.
埃尔门多夫-理查森联合基地向福克斯新闻数字频道证实，官方知晓该视频。
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson confirmed to Fox News Digital that officials are aware of the footage.
该基地第673空军基地联队公共事务办公室在一份声明中表示：“我们知晓社交媒体上流传的一段视频，内容涉及2026年6月15日在埃尔门多夫-理查森联合基地附近的一次报告称的空中目击事件，但目前没有更多信息可提供。”
"We are aware of a video circulating on social media regarding a reported aerial sighting near Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson from June 15, 2026, but have no additional information to provide at this time," the base's 673d Air Base Wing Public Affairs office said in a statement.
曾领导五角大楼“全域异常现象解析办公室”（AARO）——该办公室负责调查不明异常现象（UAP）——的肖恩·柯克帕特里克警告，不要依赖社交媒体视频来评估不明目击事件。
Sean Kirkpatrick, who led the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which investigates unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, cautioned against relying on social media footage to assess unexplained sightings.
“我通常不根据网络视频做任何评估，”柯克帕特里克告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“首先，正如我多次所说，社交媒体不是任何事情的良好数据来源，更不用说UAP目击事件了。”
"I don't usually make any assessment from an online video," Kirkpatrick told Fox News Digital. "First, as I've said many times, social media is not a good source of data for anything, let alone UAP sightings."
他补充道：“如果视频是真实且非生成的，它经过压缩，无法用于数据分析。现在太容易制作伪造视频并掩盖痕迹了。”
"The video, if authentic and not generated, is compressed and cannot be used for data analysis. It's too easy to make up video now and cover your signatures," he added.
柯克帕特里克表示，仅凭视频无法提供足够信息来判断物体的大小、高度、距离或实际运动情况。不过，他确实指出了视频中所见现象的一种可能解释。
Kirkpatrick said the footage alone does not provide enough information to determine the object's size, altitude, distance or actual movement. He did, however, point to a possible explanation for what appears in the video.
“这种运动类似于带流苏的风筝，特别是那些波浪状的动作，”柯克帕特里克说。历史气象观测显示，在据报发生目击事件的时间前后，安克雷奇风力很大。据 Weather Underground（地下天气）数据，6月15日晚9点55分，风从西向吹，风速16英里/小时；晚10点55分，风从西南偏西向吹，风速15英里/小时。据报目击事件发生在晚10点15分左右。
"The motion is similar to a kite with streamers, particularly the waves," Kirkpatrick said. Historical weather observations show there was plenty of wind in Anchorage around the time of the reported sighting. Winds were blowing from the west at 16 mph at 9:55 p.m. on June 15 and from the west-southwest at 15 mph at 10:55 p.m., according to Weather Underground. The sighting was reportedly recorded at about 10:15 p.m.
仅凭风力数据无法确定该物体是风筝或是随风移动，因为视频未能明确摄像机朝向或物体的确切位置。
The wind data alone does not establish that the object was a kite or moving with the wind, since the video does not make clear which direction the camera was facing or exactly where the object was located.
尽管天空明亮，但据报的目击时间在安克雷奇6月并不罕见，临近夏至时白昼会延伸至深夜。
Despite the bright sky, the reported time of the sighting is not unusual for Anchorage in June, when daylight stretches late into the evening near the summer solstice.
基地未说明该物体是否被军方人员或设备探测到，是否进入军事或限制空域，或是否有任何已知活动能解释录像中所见内容。
The base did not say whether the object was detected by military personnel or equipment, whether it entered military or restricted airspace or whether any known activity could account for what appears in the footage.
柯克帕特里克说，确定天空中实际是什么，需要的信息比仅凭视频所能提供的要多。
Kirkpatrick said determining what was actually in the sky would require more information than the video alone can provide.
“如果这是真实视频而非生成的，我会把‘带流苏的风筝’列入假设范畴，然后做一些本地调查，看是否有庆祝或聚会活动，风型如何，以及是否有其他角度的佐证视频，”柯克帕特里克说。
"If it was a real video and not generated, I would add kite with streamers to the hypothesis category and then do some local research on whether there was any sort of celebration or party, what the wind patterns were, and whether or not there's any corroborating video from another angle," Kirkpatrick said.
