The report, as filed

Object was seen going west to east, bright light did not change size, as a meteor would get smaller etc. Appeared under clouds, which I would guess to be 10,000 ft are there about. Very bright white, and round.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125177). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

The orb/sphere was very a bright orange. It was very slowly moving (compared to a nearby aircraft that quickly flew nearby) It pulsated in and out for approximately 10 min until it disappeared before our very eyes unto what it appears to be an opening in the sky itself!

I was watching the fireworks with my 6 year old son. I looked away from the fireworks and up at the stars around me. Suddenly one of the stars started moving at a odd angle and a fast rate of speed. After about 2 minutes the object dimmed out and I saw a dark orange flash around the area it dimmed. After that i could not find it in the sky anymore. I noticed after it disappeared that there was a airplane following the path that the object took. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
