A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
First, let me say,I'm not new to these light orbs & I have been seeing these orbs constant & researching them since our very first sighting in 06.For the record,I have made reports here & to Mufon & have videos on youtube.Back in 2013 when the sightings got bizzare & frequent,I tried to make reports & to get more witnesses from UFO investigators but nobody would listen,so I quit reporting.I know what stars,venus,the ISS & airplanes are & look like.None of them fly silently right above tree lines & above you ,hover,get bright & pulsate,flicker violently & dim back out before flying onward.When someone makes a report & says "flickering" I know what they are referring to because I have witnessed seeing these for a long time & know their characteristics.It's not a twinkling star or a hoax as suggested at the bottom of 1 report here on NUFORC that was from my state back in August.Being insulted myself before,I can imagine how that witness felt. My advic! e,just because you don't understand exactly what someone is saying don't be quick to discredit them & say it's a hoax.If you see these orb ufo's enough,read enough reports,you will start to compare events & know the characteristics of the Ufo's being reported. Now on with my report. What's different this time is,tonight me & my wife witnessed 3 separate very bright orbs light up right above us in the air.To see 1 orb is always a treat.The most we have ever saw in 1 night has been 2.And I'm talking about the low ones,maybe a few hundred to a thousand ft high,not the ones higher up about airplane height.The first orb I saw by myself around 7:00 & it appeared to come from the north West.I can't say for sure because it didn't get bright for me to see until it was right up on me. Note:(this is what they do sometimes,we don't always see them coming from a distance,they light up in a instant in front of you & dim out in an instant)It stayed lit up bright heading south until I could not see it anymore. The second bright orb appeared about 15 minutes or so later about in the same spot heading in the same direction as the first orb but dimmed completely out within 10 seconds are so.A few minutes later,we saw the 3rd orb & it was directly above us & seemed to hover a few seconds as it was powered up as bright as it could be & then it stated to move,pick up speed & then continued to travel southward as the first 2 orbs. That was it, it was a clear starry night with a slight wind until the orbs came through.About 15 or so minutes afterwards it got really cloudy & we went inside.This was the first time of seeing 3 back to back like this. What irritates me is,we can make reports until the sun don't shine but nobody can come forward & tell the public what we're seeing? If you don't believe in aliens,you can say It's U.S.Government related but these are not just in a specific area like I once thought.When I see a video from a guy in Europe,Mexico or in Egypt & I can clearly see or read that it matches exactly to what I see with my own eyes in small town Alabama then there is a lot more to it.

What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

I was walking my dogs late and was on the top of a hill in my neighborhood when all of a sudden a bright,huge, and round object dropped down very fast. I was very startled and my instant thought was something is crashing. There was no noise at all. It went out of my view within seconds because of the wooded area in my subdivision. I’ve seen drones before and this was definitely no drone and no fallen star. The best way I can describe it would be like a full moon very close to earth falling straight down.

As we were walking our dog a very large balloon like object floated rapidly across the sky. The inside of the object was lit up with a white light inside of it. The light burned solid. It floated across the Tenn river as we watched it .

At around 1205 AM me and at least two other noticed a light that seemed to fade and then grow brighter over a span of a few minutes. The parking lot lights were on so we couldn't see really any other lights such as stars. The would fade in size and brightness to a small point of light to at its brightest point like of very bright flashlight. It lasted for a few minutes and then faded out and wasn't seen again that night [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. Date is flawed, but we have no means of contacting the source of the report. PD
