Light over Columbus, OH

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I just got off work and i started heading to the gym, i am about fifteen minutes away when i look up because i was checking to see if the street light was going to change when i see these 4 lights moving along the sky, so i look for other lights around them because maybe it was few helicopters or something, when i really started to look at these lights traveling together in this kind of square formation, i could tell they were not helicopters, i really wanted to get it on video so i pulled over and started filming i got maybe 3 second of the light of the bottom right end of the square, as they moved along the sky, each corner, right and left both seem to kind of move into one another and then it was just two lights moving and fading away,as they moved i look behind and 4 more are coming over the building to my right, they kind of just went in a straight line in the same direction as they previous 4 as they faded away 4 more from the same direction foll! owed suit. i called my friend to tell him what i was witness, when another person was walking through the parking lot, looking up, i asked if she was seeing this. To make sure i wasn't going crazy, she said yes and we stood and watched. One of the most amazing things i have ever seen.

Ask for the records

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.

After seeing numerous orbs in this area in 2022, this is only the second sighting of them in 2023. I checked my apps like Flight Radar to confirm it was not a plane or weather balloon. I am guessing it was floating above at about 2,500 feet. It stopped momentarily above me, then continued on. I have a bit of footage of it on my iPhone, but i had my dog on a leash pulling me around. I was unable to get in my house in time to grab binoculars, so for this sighting, video is all I have. The orb was identical to other orbs I've been seeing every once in a while. There was absolutely no sound, and there were jetliners to the left of it at a much higher altitude. This orb was glowing and spinning. I wonder in anyone else in North Columbus saw it?

One White object that appeared to change shape as it moved through space. Was up as high as a plane, flying over the 270/315 area. My husband and I both witnessed it. A lot of birds were flying around the area which caused us to step outside, I looked over to the south side of our house and saw it in the air. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

I saw an orb flying fast 3 different days at the same location. Fortunately I could record it the last time but I used my phone to do so. I’m not sure what it was but I felt I should report it. Attached is a screenshot from my video recording.
