The UFO Evidence, Mapped

Every UFO picture William Alexander Aldred ever posted, on one page, each one tied to the post it belongs to — the post's date, its title as he wrote it, the subreddit, what the picture shows, and the link to the original on Reddit. The dates are posting dates, set by Reddit's servers; nobody can backdate them. What the objects in these pictures are stays an open question on this page — his own classification is printed, labeled as his, where he stated it.

The whole trail plays in order on Run It Back. This page is the picture index to that record. The layer underneath the posts — his 158 comments, the critics he answered, the ideas that appear in the replies first — is on The Threads.

The first photo: "1:23am over Orlando 3/23"

Night photograph of the downtown Orlando skyline with two loose clusters of small white lights in the sky above it, published March 23, 2023
Post 11z9zw7, r/UFOs — "1:23am over Orlando 3/23." The downtown Orlando skyline at night, and in the sky above it two loose clusters of small white lights. His second submission ever, and his first UFO post.

In the thread that night he wrote that he had just moved into his new place, taken the picture of the view from his balcony, and that the lights in the photo could not be seen with the naked eye:

"You couldn't see any lights at all with the naked eye. What am I seeing here?"
— u/sdotbill, in the post's own thread, March 23, 2023
"I don't know what they are but they look like big ass triangles to me."
— u/sdotbill, same thread, same night

"Full moon over Orlando"

Post 1426kmi — a gallery post of the full moon over the same Orlando skyline. The post and its date stand on the record; its images are not reproduced here because the archived copies were never recovered — this page shows only pictures it can show whole. It sits in the map because it is part of the same sky, the same roof, and the same account, in the same season.

Two videos in one night

2:35 AM EDT · Post 15bpiyi

"Me and my wife just filmed a ufo over Orlando" — a 37-second handheld video from a balcony over downtown Orlando: a small red light at the edge of a cloud bank above the towers, fading into the cloud as the camera zooms. Two voices react live on the soundtrack — "It just went up into the clouds, baby." His words in the post: "This thing lit up the entire sky… It was like it knew I was recording it and disappeared into the clouds."

Watch it at the original post.

3:03 AM EDT · Post 15bq0qg

"Zoomed in video" — posted 28 minutes later: a closer look at the same night's filming. His words: "This is the zoomed in video. What do you think? It doesn't look like a launch to me lol." Stated plainly: Reddit's moderators later removed this post under the subreddit's duplicate-footage rule — the same footage as the wider clip above, posted minutes apart. The footage itself lives on the record at the first post.

Watch it at the original post.

A post literally titled "UFO's over Orlando"

Post 1bjdpfz linked an album of his pictures. Moderators removed the linked content, so the pictures themselves are not reproduced here — the title and the date are what the record carries, and the title is all this house cites from it. The post on Reddit.

The Orlando gallery — all twelve pictures

Post 1hej835, his most-upvoted post: a twelve-picture gallery, published under the title "Drones/UAP over Orlando."

"Those weren't drones over Orlando. Those are the UFO pictures… I didn't want Reddit to rip me to pieces."
— William Alexander Aldred, October 29, 2026. His annotation rides with every December 2024 citation in this house: the "drones" wording in the December titles was defensive framing. The titles stand as archived; his classification of what the pictures show is UFO.
A pair of orange-white lights at distance in haze
1 of 12. A pair of orange-white lights at distance, in haze.
Two large defocused discs of light at deep zoom, one white-orange and one amber
2 of 12. Two large defocused discs at deep zoom — one white-orange, one amber.
A pair of red lights near the center of a dark frame
3 of 12. A red pair of lights, near the center of the frame.
A heavily bloomed red pair of lights, a white core wrapped in red glow
4 of 12. The same pair, heavily bloomed — a white core wrapped in a red halo.
Three green lights arranged in a triangle against a dark sky
5 of 12. Three green lights, arranged in a triangle.
A red pair of lights with a sliver of bright light at the frame's corner
6 of 12. A red pair, with a sliver of bright light at the frame's corner.
An orange-red pair of lights with merged glow
7 of 12. An orange-red pair, their glow merged.
An elongated white-orange streak with a red trailing smudge
8 of 12. An elongated white-orange streak with a red trailing smudge.
An orange pair of lights with a bright wedge of light at the top-right corner
9 of 12. An orange pair, with a bright wedge of light at the top-right corner of the frame.
Three green lights in a triangle, one vertex reading amber
10 of 12. Three green lights in a triangle again — this time one vertex reads amber.
Three green lights in a triangle — the gallery's picture 11
11 of 12. Three green lights in a triangle. This is the picture the post itself pointed at, in his own words in the post: "Zoom in on picture #11. It looks like a tornado coming from the center of the drone. I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens."

The author contests this grade (Oct 30, 2026): he holds the swirls are visible to the human eye. Re-grade queued.

A red pair of lights, pink-white core and red companion
12 of 12. A red pair — pink-white core, red companion.

The morning's other December post: on December 15, 2024, he followed the gallery with a video, "Drones over Orlando? Part 2" (post 1hf3j3o, r/UFOB — the annotation above covers this title too). In it, a pair of lights holds still in a tight zoom and changes color between green and red. His words in the post: the things "were stationary they didn't make a sound", and they were not planes or helicopters. Watch it at the original post.

The same twelve, again — as the anchor of the record

Post 1t3nrg5, "Gravity is Render Latency: A Thesis on Information Drag in Simulation Theory. UAP or Anomalies in the render?" — a physics thesis post, and its gallery is the same twelve photographs, in a different order, presented as the provenance anchor of the night they came from: June 13, 2023, the master night of his account (the full story plays on Run It Back). Each caption below names the frame's position in the December gallery, so the two postings can be checked against each other picture by picture.

A red pair of lights
May 1 = December 12 — a red pair.
An orange pair of lights with a bright wedge at the corner
May 2 = December 9 — an orange pair, bright wedge at the corner.
Three green lights in a triangle, one vertex amber
May 3 = December 10 — the green triangle, amber vertex.
Three green lights in a triangle
May 4 = December 11 — the green triangle, the post's "picture #11."
An elongated streak with a red tail
May 5 = December 8 — the elongated streak, red tail.
An orange-red pair of lights
May 6 = December 7 — an orange-red pair.
A red pair of lights with a wedge sliver
May 7 = December 6 — a red pair, wedge sliver at the corner.
A bloomed red pair, white core in a red halo
May 8 = December 4 — the bloomed red pair, white core in a red halo.
A pair of orange-white lights at distance
May 9 = December 1 — the pair at distance, orange-white.
Three green lights in a triangle
May 10 = December 5 — the green triangle.
A red pair of lights
May 11 = December 3 — a red pair.
Two large defocused discs of light
May 12 = December 2 — the two defocused discs.

What this page is — and is not

A record, not a verdict

  • What the record proves: these pictures were photographed by William Alexander Aldred and posted by his account, on the dates shown, under the titles shown. The timestamps are Reddit's; nobody can backdate them.
  • What it does not prove: what the objects are. That question stays open on this page, deliberately — the pictures are the evidence, and evidence is for looking at.
  • His position, labeled his: he classifies what he photographed as UFOs, and his account of the night the twelve frames came from — June 13, 2023, Orlando — is told as testimony on Run It Back, labeled testimony there.
  • Twice-posted, stated plainly: the twelve gallery frames appear on the public record twice — December 2024 and May 2026 — and this page maps both postings, picture by picture, so anyone can compare them.
