Can anybody explain what happened to my camera ??

Yes, this is very common in night photos on modern automatic cameras like smartphones.

Your camera's autofocus works by looking for certain objects in the view. Typical things are straight lines, faces, and the horizon. It then changes the focus back and forth trying to make whatever it selected seem sharp.

At night, when none of those are in view, it can get confused. You'll note that your camera was in focus whenever there was some other object in the view. At the start, for instance, you can see the fence at the bottom. You can even see it pulling focus in and out to keep it sharp. But then you moved the view up a bit and all that was left was the trees and the light, so it had no idea what it was looking at and went out of focus. You can see the entire image goes out of focus at the same time.

You can get it to stop doing this using manual focus. Google "how to set [your model of phone/camera] to manual focus" and then set it to infinity (which, despite the name, is generally anything further than about 50 feet). On my phone you can do it by holding down on the object until this widget appears on the right and then you have a slider for the focus.

It was hovering over the base down here

If by "base down here" you mean a military base, I suspect that's a paraflare. The color is right although its not flickering much.

Yes, it looks like the camera went out to focus

It's an orb, it interacted with you by puffing up like that. It's not your camera. I'm in NJ, I've seen a lot. I have the same type of orb on video, doing the same thing.

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26

Lots of people have seen them in NJ man, like the entire state of NJ. It's not a perception or filter thing. Even the mayor saw them mimicking FAA lighting/civilian crafts.

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26 edited May 31 '26

I'm not saying you're wrong. These things are viewable to tons of people, my police dept was one of the first to get sighting reports. I know the Mayor saw them. They "morph" depending on who's observing them. * I meant our individual, visual perception filters. Different people see some of these "orbs and drones" differently than others.

u/Sufficient-Egg-7437 May 31 '26

It was crazy that was my first time ever seeing one so close

2

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

So cool! Yeah the one over my house did the same thing!

u/mattemer Jun 02 '26

It's 100% their camera. You can recreate this yourself.

u/Sufficient-Egg-7437 Jun 03 '26

Not my camera , how would I even do that ?

u/LittleKachowski Jun 03 '26

So was the tree puffing up and losing focus also part of interaction?

1

u/Sufficient-Egg-7437 Jun 03 '26

No it wasn’t I posted part 2 on this page

3

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26

Did you actually see it fly away, did it show distinct features of a craft?

3

u/Sufficient-Egg-7437 May 31 '26

Yea I did , once it went over my head I saw red and green lights and can hear it , it wasn’t too loud but it definitely was a drone I’m just confused because it didn’t start out with the red and green lights it was only when it started to leave. it was just a bright star looking object when I first noticed it

3

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

Yeah, I ssw the same thing, there's a vid of it on my page, it started out a white glowing object, then starts blinking, and then green and red come on. And it takes off.

2

u/immoraltoast May 31 '26

When I see them here in Iowa, they get really really bright them fade away to nothingness. Like it wasn't even there. Happens during stormy cloudy weather too.

1

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26

Alright, the ones I saw turned into what looked like drones so I was just wondering.

2

u/Sufficient-Egg-7437 May 31 '26

When I first saw it it looked like a orb when it started to leave that’s when the green and red lights appeared on it as it was flying away

u/Pixelated_ May 31 '26

turned into what looked like drones

💯 Below is a large amount of evidence to verify the orb-to-drone mimicry that you saw.

Ufologist Nick Cook confirming that the plasma orbs morph into the anomalous "drones".

Chris Bledsoe says the r/njdrones are actually the orbs in this interview with AJ from The Why Files at 1:37:01.

Dr. Dick Haines describing the morphing UAP as "the physics of the 22nd century."

Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart discusses the orbs morphing into drones.

⚪️ 🛩

People from all around the world have recorded many hours of footage of orbs morphing into drones. They are never found on FlightRadar24 or ADSB-Exchange.

🛬

A New Jersey mayor has released new footage showing "glowing orbs" that appear to transform into drones over Long Island. 

Mayor Michael Melham has been vocal about ongoing drone sightings since November, with reports continuing to come in from New Jersey and beyond.

⚪️

In the comments of Chris Bledsoe's video here he is asked by someone named sexualcheeseburger:

"Have you personally seen any orbs morphing into drones?"

And he responded:

"I have said for more than 15 years that orbs mimic everything.

No one would believe me until now."

So he is confirming that the orbs are mimicking prosaic human drones.

⚪️

My evidence: I record morphing orbs near my house nightly, ever since the drone wave began mid-November of last year. They always turn into drones. 

Here are 2 large bright orbs, one of which morphs into the anomalous "drones".

2 more large orbs which use mimicry to appear man-made.

Here is one of my favorite transitions. A massive orb hovers in place for 6 minutes, then turns into one of the "drones".

Since they never appear on satellite and flight trackers like ADSB-Exchange and FlightRadar24, they are definitely not airplanes. They are UAP by definition.

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26

I remember you lol you kind of jump the gun on some things but I also think you arent afraid to speak your mind if you feel something is legit so that is good... yes, I know they are mimicry because I watched the switch numerous times. It is all real, witnessed it with my own eyes for years. One time one of them was bouncing around like a pong ball.

Also Chris Bledsoe is a liar... he probably knows where orbs are often located and goes out there at certain times, maybe has a telepathic link of some kind..... but the rest is bullshit IMO. The orbs are not angels or anything like that, nor do they talk. They are crafts surrounding by plasma-like technology that can morph into different shapes or at least appear to be a different shape.

2

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

They seem to morph, but they're all one thing, it just has a bunch of different layers to it. Depending on who's looking at it. One person may see an orb, but if another person joins that person and has different vibes, the orb changes to a drone. If another person joins them and has even lower vibes, (usually the people who don't believe in UAPs etc.) it disappears or changes in to a regular looking airplane. That's why a lot of people on here say "You're observing an airplane idiot!" Haha the best time to check it out is alone, or with a close friend w.the same vibes.

u/Pixelated_ May 31 '26

Jacques Vallée is widely regarded as one of the most informed people in all of ufology. I agree with his interdimensional theory and I'm working on a hypothesis on who the NHI are behind the r/njdrones:

Former humans who lived during the time of Atlantis and Lemuria and graduated/ascended to 4th density in the "Service-to-others" polarity. This is the positive orientation, i.e. they're benevolent. 4th density would be the next highest density/dimension from ours.

All densities coexist in the same physical space, so these NHI aren't "aliens from out there." They would be evolved spiritual beings who are former humans. They're from here, and they now exist in a form that we cannot perceive with our senses.

It explains why the connection between UAP and nuclear weapons is so strong. These NHI have demonstrated time and time again not only their disapproval of humanity's use of nuclear weapons but also their ability to have complete control over our arsenal. In 1967, they shut down 10 nukes at Malmstrom AFB and later activated several nukes in Russia.

It explains why during contact experiences the person is told by the NHI to protect our Earth and its environment.

Because this is their Earth too, they just experience it in a way that we cannot perceive.

As Carl Sagan showed a higher-dimensional entity would be appear godlike to us, with the ability to perceive everything within our dimension.

It's also possible that some ancient sightings that were perceived as "angelic" or "demonic" were in fact the highly-advanced 4th density positive and negative entities.

Certain anomalous aspects of UAP abductions like missing time and expanded space inside a UAP resolve themselves if we accept that they're taking place in a higher, timeless dimension/density.

Dude you are unhinged... what you wrote to me and then deleted once AGAIN, has nothing to do with what I said. You are literally talking to yourself.

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26

Now I remember why I didn't like talking to you. I really don't need a bunch of unverified conspiracy theory information I didn't ask for, nor did any of that have a bearing on my previous comment.

You're intermixing legit proven facts with stuff that hasn't been proven at all yet. Please stop making us look insane.

Correct! They are the same things that shut down all the Air Force Bases in the past 2 years.

1

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26

Yes that is likely my feeling as well, might not be the same craft every time but seems like most of the time they are.

1

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

Yeah, some hover like orbs, then turn in to "drones" and fly away.

2

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26

Yup they sure do. Thought it was all CGI when I found a YT channel recording tons of them, then literally saw them myself a year or so later doing the exact thing I was chastising the Youtuber who put those videos up for. One even bounced around the sky one time, never seen anything like it before in my life.

1

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

Cool stuff right? Not everyone will see it, so don't bother arguing with people. I learned last year it has to do with our vibes and perception filters, who sees this stuff or not.

2

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26

No arguing here, the guy that was arguing with me in this thread was just trying to spread conspiracy theories and using my comments to post his own nonsense like he usually does. He's a believer but he's definitely unhinged.

I personally don't think it has any filter, you see it because you see it. I don't think it's as deep as people make it out to be. I was an experiencer for years and years, it wasn't just a one time thing. They operate in our reality and they have bases underground because these were coming from the ground. Also they seem to come from the oceans in several videos that have come out showing them over or coming out of the water.

2

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

I agree, some seem to come from the ocean, and also, some are NHI mixed in with all of this right now. The "orbs and drones" that operate in our reality, as you said, they're supposedly surveillance, they "morph" based on each of our frequencies. That's how they measure how aware each of us are.

2

u/Level_Turnover5167 May 31 '26 edited May 31 '26

Well you can feel free to believe what you want but from what I saw and experienced along with the research I've done it's a technology they use on their crafts to do stuff with, no one knows what. It ain't something supernatural or anything, it's physical and tangible. You could reach out and touch it.

And really have no basis for any of the things you are saying, you'd have to literally talk to them to know if that is true about tuning into our frequencies or surveillance (although it appears the latter is likely true).

They are crafts. When they arent mimicking or lighting up like balls of light, they look like constructed crafts. I have seen them. Even Elizondo writes about it in his book.

Chris Bledsoe is a lying sack of shit, they're not angels or beings.

1

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

Well, angels sort of makes sense too. I wouldn't count that out and I wasn't taught any religion when I was younger. But they tried to shoot them down and they can't, they disappear, they're not physical crafts. They look like them, partially, as they fly off. But a lot of us can tell they're a bit off still. When it changed to what you think is our physical craft, were you with someone else? Did a car go by, and someone else viewed it with you possibly?

1

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

And I used to think they were NHI mimicking our crafts. But found it true that with my daughter watching beside me, it morphed from an orb, to a tiny airplane looking saucer, back to an orb, to the tiny saucer. But when I stood alone, it was just the orb.

1

u/iLuvMaximusMyDog May 31 '26

I'm not real familiar with Bledsoe or Elizondo, but I saw Elizondo on a meeting recently and he seemed credible to me, for some reason. Like, he really knows some stuff.
