** UFO Investigator Report **
Subject: Analysis Context for Released Orb Image
Source: Chris Bledsoe
Date of Event: December 15, 2025
Location: Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina
Event Context: State of the World Forum
-----------------------------
Overview
An image recently released by experiencer and researcher Chris Bledsoe has drawn public attention due to unusual visual features observed within a luminous green orb. The image is a single still frame extracted from a longer 4K video recording captured over the Atlantic Ocean during the State of the World Forum at Wrightsville Beach, NC.
According to Bledsoe, the orb appeared during live filming and was not noticed in real time to contain unusual internal features until later frame-by-frame review.
-----------------------------
Current Evidentiary Status
The released image represents one frame from a single video.
The reported internal features appear in only a small number of frames.
No repeat examples, additional recordings, or comparative data sets have yet been publicly released.
At present, the evidence is suggestive but not conclusive, and further material would be required to establish persistence, repetition, or pattern consistency.
-----------------------------
Visual Characteristics
The object appears as a semi-transparent green orb suspended over the ocean.
Within the orb, faint internal banding and structure are visible.
In a limited number of frames, four frames total out of the recorded footage, what appear to be symbol-like or number-like forms briefly manifest along a horizontal region inside the orb.
These internal visual features are transient and do not appear consistently throughout the video.
-----------------------------
Investigator’s Note
At this stage, the image should be treated as a documented visual anomaly pending additional data. The claims associated with it remain hypotheses, not established conclusions. Continued transparency, release of additional footage, and independent analysis would be necessary to determine whether the observed features represent artifact, coincidence, or something not yet understood.
Further evidence will determine its significance.

MY EXAMINATION and MY TAKE
Like many of you, I spent time looking very closely at the still frame released from the 4K orb video. I want to share exactly what I personally see, how I examined it, and why I think it’s genuinely intriguing ... while also being clear about what would be needed to establish something like intentional communication.
What do I See in the Image?
After applying image enhancement (more on that below), the following symbol-like forms appear to emerge along a horizontal band within the orb:
• Q ∃ ' 0
• O ∃ ' 0
• Q 3 ' 0
• O 3 ' 0
• O ∃ S 0
• Q 3 S 0
I want to be upfront: I fully acknowledge the possibility of pareidolia (our brain’s natural tendency to recognize patterns) but I’m also not dismissing what appears visually present after processing. These forms are subtle, transient, and unusual enough to warrant careful attention rather than a quick shrug.
To better understand the structure inside the orb, I used Photoshop’s Auto Tone function. This type of processing does not add information, but it does amplify existing gradients and contrast so that subtle structures become more visible.
Specifically, Auto Tone:
• Stretches histogram endpoints per color channel
• Rebalances midtones
• Amplifies contrast where gradients already exist
• Does not preserve original luminance relationships
In short: this process helps reveal structured gradients, but it also means the resulting image is an interpretive visualization, not raw data.
Why These Shapes Can Appear “Symbolic”
There are well-understood explanations for why these forms can resemble characters:
• “Q” = a loop + tail → common in circular noise
• “0 / O” = closed contours → extremely common in blobs
• “3” = two stacked curves → common in wave interference
• “∃” = three aligned strokes → easy to perceive in banding
• Apostrophe ' = single bright speck
• “S” = sinusoidal gradient
All of these shapes can naturally emerge in glowing, semi-transparent objects under motion, compression, and contrast enhancement.
That said... their alignment along a horizontal band is unusual enough that it naturally draws attention and curiosity.
Now LET ME PUT MY HAT ON...
This Is Interesting ... but Not Yet Communication
I want to be very clear here: I am not calling this fake. The imagery is strange, compelling, and genuinely thought-provoking.
However, for something to be established as intentional visual communication, we would need more than a single processed frame. Specifically, we’d need evidence of:
• Persistence (symbols remaining stable across frames)
• Repetition (the same forms recurring)
• Reoccurrence across captures (not limited to one video or moment)
Given Chris Bledsoe’s long history, experiences, and claimed ongoing interaction, it’s reasonable (and fair) to say that more data could emerge that helps clarify whether these appearances are coincidental or meaningful.
This feels less like a conclusion and more like an open chapter.
Bottom Line
• The image is strange.
• The structures are real as visual phenomena.
• The interpretations are not settled.
Nothing here disproves anything, but nothing here proves communication either... not yet.
Curiosity is justified. Caution is healthy. And if more frames, more examples, or more consistency appear, the conversation absolutely deserves to continue.
For now, this remains one of the more intriguing visual anomalies I’ve seen in a long time, and I’m watching closely to see what comes next.
Again, further evidence will determine its significance.
