# The same “comma”-shaped UAP is filmed in three different areas of the world: South Africa, Canada, and the middle of the Atlantic Ocean

### Overview

A Reddit post has drawn attention to a reported visual similarity among unidentified aerial phenomena filmed in **South Africa, Canada, and the middle of the Atlantic Ocean**. According to the post, each recording appears to show a dark, comma-shaped object suspended or moving in the sky. The alleged resemblance has prompted speculation that the videos may document the same type of object—or even the same phenomenon observed from different locations.

However, the available material does not establish when the recordings were made, who captured them, or whether the three clips are connected. The objects’ identity remains unknown, and there is currently **no independent verification that the footage depicts a genuine anomalous craft**.

### What Is Known

The claim appears to rely primarily on a Reddit post compiling or comparing footage from the three locations. The provided source material does not include the original videos, technical metadata, eyewitness statements, or a documented chain of custody for the recordings. It also does not identify the precise locations in South Africa or Canada, nor does it provide navigational details for the alleged mid-Atlantic sighting.

The source link supplied with the claim points to a report on the National UFO Reporting Center’s website, identified by the reference number **147865**. At the time of review, that page was protected by a security-verification screen and its underlying report could not be accessed. As a result, the report’s date, description, imagery, and any associated investigation could not be independently examined.

### Similar Appearance, Different Explanations

A comma-like silhouette can arise from several non-extraordinary causes. Depending on distance, lighting, camera focus, and compression, **birds, balloons, aircraft components, distant drones, or lens artifacts** may appear as curved or irregular shapes. The apparent form of an object can also change dramatically when a camera moves, zooms, or struggles to focus against a bright sky.

Video comparisons are especially vulnerable to misleading similarities. A short clip without a stable horizon, visible scale reference, or continuous context may not reveal whether an object is traveling, rotating, drifting, or remaining stationary. The same visual effect can therefore appear in unrelated recordings, even when the objects have entirely different explanations.

### Evidence Still Needed

To assess whether the recordings show the same phenomenon, investigators would need the original, unedited files and their metadata, including recording dates, camera locations, timestamps, and—in the case of the Atlantic report—precise geographic coordinates. Additional information such as weather conditions, flight activity, the object’s apparent motion, and the direction of observation would also be important.

Experts would likely compare the objects’ angular size, trajectory, lighting, and behavior rather than relying solely on their outline. Independent witnesses, contemporaneous reports, and corroborating radar or maritime data could further help determine whether the events were related.

### Current Assessment

At present, the reported connection between the three sightings is **an unverified claim based on visual resemblance**. The available source material supports the existence of an online discussion, but not the conclusion that one comma-shaped UAP was recorded in South Africa, Canada, and the Atlantic Ocean. Until the footage and its provenance can be reviewed by independent analysts, the objects should be described as unidentified—not as confirmed extraterrestrial craft or a single worldwide phenomenon.
