On September 24, 2022 at 12:48 p.m. ET, I personally observed and recorded on video a flight of 2 slow-moving UFOs and their numerous compatriots operating at length and with impunity inside airspace that the FAA calls the most restricted airspace in the United States: The Washington, D.C. Flight Restricted Zone (DC FRZ) a.k.a. "The DC Freeze.”
My name is Lincoln Lounsbury and I am a retired FAA air traffic controller. I have 10 years of experience working in air traffic control towers and the last tower I worked in was at Washington National Airport (DCA). I am thoroughly familiar with the airspace and aircraft operations surrounding Washington, D.C., and I have lived in this airspace for 29 years.
The DC FRZ is a cylinder of airspace that extends laterally to a 15-mile radius centered at DCA airport and vertically from the surface to 18,000'. Air traffic in the DC FRZ is largely restricted to three types of operations: commercial passenger flights landing and taking off from DCA; aircraft associated with Andrews Air Force Base; and a handful of very low flying military, police, and medevac helicopters. That's it.
My documented shooting location for this video was just 7 miles from DCA airport with my camera aimed straight up in the air. I estimate the flight of 2 UFOs in this video to be flying at roughly 5,000' and the base of the clouds above the UFOs in the video were measured at 15,000' by the ceilometer at DCA. All UFO operations in this video are well within the DC Freeze. Visibility was measured at 10 miles at the time of this sighting.
Additionally, this flight of two UFOs passed through the traffic pattern for aircraft landing at DCA. The pilots of at least one passenger flight most certainly saw this flight of two highly reflective UFOs as they passed within a mile and a half laterally and 500' to 1,500' vertically of these UFOs.
Peculiarly, this slow-moving pair of intruders met no response from the U.S. Coast Guard's MH-65 helicopters stationed at DCA. These helicopters are D.C.'s first aerial responders who, otherwise, rigorously defend this airspace and the city of Washington, D.C. Routinely, these Coast Guard helicopters meet unauthorized, wayward aircraft well outside the DC FRZ and, with the help of considerable technology, have no problem getting these aircraft to turn away from the DC FRZ. As it turned out, there was no aerial response to these UFOs from any of the military, and the DC FRZ was eerily void of helicopter traffic for hours following this event.
I always hope that videos provide enough in the scenes to estimate depth and distance. One of the tricky things with capturing objects in the sky is that there will always be a sacrifice in what you capture. If you zoom in to just the sky, then you lose trees and objects on the ground to establish some sense of distance and visual anchors to match the movement of the objects to. If you’re zoomed out then you lose clarity of the object itself.
I do find the consistent rotation of the main object interesting. I’ve seen quite a few videos posted of objects that show tumbling movement, though it’s usually hard to make out exactly what they are.
Public sightings are a hard numbers game to win. It really just comes down to chance that someone with a good enough camera spots something and captures enough details. There’s a lot of open sky, time in the day, and not a ton of people actively watching the sky. But, enough videos like this can help categorize sightings to better determine what is anomalous.
Agree on all points.
Ideally we need multisensor + multilens systems to simultaneously zoom in and zoom out. Also we need next gen image stabilization or tripods.
As of right now the sightings are somewhat rare and it’s a big ask to have a pro level videographer with a tripod available 24/7 in every 20 miles sq area.
Eventually we’ll get something.
Witness testimony will remain essential. Once we get those crystal clear images, next we’ll hear how it’s all CGI.
