An ominous quartet of gleaming lights above the United States Capitol building have left some afraid the alien invasion has finally arrived.
The photo — taken at night just outside of Congress, with the dome of Capitol Hill in full view – was taken by US Air Force veteran Dennis Diggins who now works as a licensed tour guide in the Washington DC area, as well as a professional travel director.
The eerie triangular formation of lights that Diggins captured in his photo seems to hover just feet over the ‘Statue of Freedom’ at the top of the Capitol dome.
‘That’s absolutely insane,’ one spectator said of the strange glowing orbs, which looked like landing lights on some otherworldly craft.
The image comes just weeks after a pair of stunning public hearings in both the US Senate and the House of Representatives, where lawmakers probed current and retired Pentagon officials over the state of intelligence on what used to be called ‘flying saucers.’
The House’s hearing included a first look at a bizarre, unsettling report alleging that an illegal ‘Unacknowledged Special Access Program’ named ‘Immaculate Constellation’ had been set up to ‘detect, quarantine, and transfer’ UFO data away from public view.
But while some were clamoring for video that might link this new sighting to this wider UFO debate on the Hill, others pushed back on the speculative furor over these strange lights.
‘The picture is clearly a glare reflection off of the lens of the camera of the street lights below it,’ argued a former paranormal investigator, who now goes by the moniker Average Chris. ‘Same spacing, just inverted pattern.’
Other eyewitnesses in the DC area, however, believed they had caught similar UFOs on video during the same evening, November 26, 2024.
‘My partner and I have spotted a mix of multiple stationary/hovering and slow-moving lights from her apartment rooftop in Washington DC,’ the anonymous witness who taped this video said. ‘Appears that they are hovering over [Capitol] Hill, Navy Yard, or south of there.’
The witness, who posted the UFO video to Reddit, stated that the ‘hovering’ lights had been appearing for over a week, since at least November 15.
The Pentagon has not yet commented on these UFOs over our nation’s capital — but DailyMail.com has reached out to a spokesperson for its UFO hunting unit, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and will update this article if AARO responds.

While these recent cases above DC might have perfectly ordinary causes, Pentagon officials and the US intelligence community are nevertheless increasingly concerned about the troubling rise of ‘drone swarm’ UFOs encroaching on restricted US airspace.
Senior ex-Pentagon security official Chris Mellon told DailyMail.com that a 17-day wave of UFO sightings above Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia was ‘part of a much larger pattern affecting numerous national security installations.’
‘Two of the notable aspects,’ he said, ‘are the fact our drone signal-jamming devices have proven ineffective and these craft are making no effort to remain concealed.’
‘In fact, in some instances,’ Mellon took pains to emphasize, ‘it is clear they want to be seen as though taunting us.’
And now, dozens of British troops are fanning out in cooperation with the US Air Force (USAF) in an effort to track down the parties responsible for still more UFO swarms spotted over three air bases in England, amid fears it all could be linked to a ‘sinister’ plot.
The craft, possibly unmanned drones, were spotted overnight above Royal Air Force (RAF) base Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and RAF Feltwell in Norfolk, USAF confirmed.
While Lakenheath is technically an RAF base, it currently houses mainly American aircraft and military personnel, officials noted.
