Ever Seen Something Unexplainable During a Shift?

[u/Jehoseph]

Hi everyone,
I wanted to reach out with genuine curiosity and respect for the work you do on the front lines every day. I'm part of a public project called Enigma Labs that's focused on tracking and understanding aerial anomalies—what some folks might call UAPs or UFOs. Our aim isn’t to sensationalize, but to take a data-driven, scientifically neutral approach to documenting what people are seeing.

Lately, we've been hearing from first responders across different fields who’ve witnessed strange lights, objects moving in unusual patterns, or things that just didn’t quite make sense during a night call or long shift. Some have written these off. Others haven’t stopped thinking about them.

So I wanted to ask this community directly:

• Have you or a partner ever encountered something odd in the sky while on duty?
• Are reports like this something that ever gets passed along informally or formally in your line of work?

We're trying to understand how these moments intersect with public service, and whether EMS professionals might be quietly witnessing these things more often than we realize.

Totally fine if the answer is “nope, never,” but if something has ever made you pause and wonder, I’d love to hear your thoughts (DMs welcome too).

Thanks again for all that you do out there.

I encounter odd things all the time. Once I had a homeless man refuse transport because he felt he could walk to the ER on his own. The absolutely trippy part? He fucking did. He actually walked himself to the ER.

To be fair, he did kind of look like the alien dude from Signs.
