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

The report, as filed

I have never seen anything like this. Very bright orange color with a flame like body. They appeared to be 'segmented' objects. A cigar shape only flying vertically. Moving like nothing that I have ever seen. The 2 fly off and disappear. Then a 3rd appeared, dimmly. It seemed to be cloaked or less pronounced. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

There were 2 flying spheres flying above my apartment building. The objects were closer than a plane would be. The 2 spheres flew about a foot apart and would collide together and back out. As it flew over the lights flickered. I watched it until It flew too far into the distance. Soon after a plane flew by and it looked nothing like the object seen.

Covington, KY

I don't recall the exact date or time but I believe it was September of 2017 and started before 11 PM. I've been hanging outdoors that day if I recall correctly and at night when it was time to put the dog outside I went outside as well. A few minutes after I look up in the sky and there it is- a light. The light was not above my house but it looked very close upwards. No physical objects were seen, simply a light moving between/on clouds in a motion that would form an infinity sign, the letter "S", or an "8". The repetitive motion would continue for at least 4 hours. I checked around my house but there was no sign of human made lights and even if, would it really reach the clouds? I wasn't afraid out of it strangely but it was interesting to see and do hope to learn more about this event in the future. One of our electronics even reacted to the event. We have a toy battery operated thing, part plushie, part not in the kitchen for decor. Well, it reacted the whole time and was malfunctioning until that light left the sky. The toy's ability is to talk and cause vibrations. The malfunction was it vibrated endlessly which was scary. It never had an issue like this in the past and with it being so coincidental to the outdoor event, I don't think it wasn't affiliated. I still don't know what it was till this day but have used it in fictional works to represent a lost organization or could even refer to it as a secret group cause the whole event was honestly really cool and inspired me a lot. Obviously that night I dreamed of UFOs and aliens when I went to bed lol
