The report, as filed
This was a brief but very interesting sighting. I live in a valley. Our house sits about halfway up on one of the sides. It was summer and was bedtime. I was getting ready for bed and my wife had already gotten into bed with the lights out. As I was walking through the bedroom, I caught a glimpse of two golden orange orbs floating through the valley. They were next to each other and I am telling you, they were going for a little exploration together or something of the like. I explain in other orb stories that I have written that; the orbs have a personality; you notice it immediately. You can almost “see” their character. It’s as if they were going on a stroll together up the valley and conversing along the way. Their movement was at a slow pace and not so much in a straight line, kind of wavey. I would estimate that their size was about the size of a volleyball. The light was not that bright, it was more of a glow. The window That I was looking out at them! through was small, so I lost view of them as they traveled past quite quickly. I ran into the other room to try and see them but lost sight of them.

My wife and I went into the hot tub during a bright sunny day in September. There were no clouds in the sky. The sky was blue. We were in for about five minutes or so when I noticed a small cloud come into view over to the right. I kept my eye on it. I realized that it had stopped. How could a cloud float to a position then stop in midair? There was a breeze, so you would expect to see the cloud moving especially when it floated into view in the first place. I looked at it intensely. I asked it to show me some lights. All this time I did not mention it to my wife. She was enjoying her hot tub time and I did not want to disturb her. As I looked at the cloud, I could make out a triangle shape in the small cloud. There was some dim glowing light activity at the tip of the triangle behind the cloud. It looked like some movement of white orbs. It was slight but I could make it out. The triangle shape then became more profound and I noticed that in the background ! was another outline of a triangle that was getting smaller. An invisible triangle was rising straight up into the sky. The triangle shape had lifted out of the small cloud but still had cloud around it. I could see the original triangle shape in the cloud start to dissipate. I watched the shape rise into the sky, but it no longer had any cloud around to reveal its shape. It was gone. About six to eight seconds after that, the cloud that was standing still started to disappear. I knew that it was going to do that. The cloud was gone. There was a triangle shape that was hiding in that small cloud. Maybe it needed to become visible to interact with the glowing objects that I saw.

I was out on the back deck. I was in a pretty good mood and was being a little silly. I have seen so many UFO’s or unusual things that I was kidding around by swinging my head quickly looking in directions so as to catch something. Like trying to catch it in the act. I was laughing with myself playing this game. After about seven times or so I was going to stop when to my left an orb floats in over the yard right next to the deck. It was about the size of a baseball. It was about eight feet off the ground moving about average walking speed. It was not floating in a perfectly straight line. It had a slight fluid like motion to it. It looked natural. The orb was undulating with sudden outbursts of energy. There were globs of It surging and swelling out of it but then retracting into the round shape. The undulations were short. Each one about a half second. It was a very pure white light. Very intense. Not like a flashlight shining in your face though. If you d! idn’t look right into it, you would not be bothered by it. I was looking right at it though. It was about seven feet away from me at the same height as my eyes. The undulations were about every two seconds. It had a personality. I could sense it immediately. It is a living creature. I felt that it had some anxiety or that it was a little tense. I do not know why. I think that I was hearing a slight sound from the orb when it undulated. It was kind of an energetic electric sound. The moment was so incredible that I was overwhelmed. I was looking straight into the orb but had to look away because the light was so intense. As it past right in front of me it let out it’s most intense undulation and I felt that it was looking at me. I had to bow my head to recover from the intensity for a slight moment but when I looked back up, I put my arms out and said loudly “Hey!”. I wanted to communicate with it and didn’t want it to go away. I don’t know exactly what happened at that mome! nt, but I had to look away again. I crouched down into a kneel! ing posi tion then I lifted my head up to look. The orb got spooked and started zigzagging into the sky very quickly. I watched it as it disappeared into the clouds. The whole experience lasted about ten to twelve seconds.

So, what I believe I saw was two large orbs exiting a portal. When I noticed the large round light in the valley it immediately caught my eye. I knew in an instant that it was something out of the ordinary. As I mentioned, the round light was a matte white, not so bright but uniform in intensity and had a definite circular boundary to it. The large orbs flying through the air were beautiful. They had such a majestic look to them. These orbs were here on a mission. The way they flew through the valley was fast and in a strait line. They were going somewhere fast. Incredible. Where are they from? Where were they going? What are they doing? Are they orbs or are these actually craft that look like light? Please believe me when I tell you, this is exactly what I saw. It was clear as day. This exists.

This was definitely one of the strangest things that I have ever seen. It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. My wife and I were on the back deck enjoying the weather. I noticed an object come into view over the top of the trees toward the rear of our property. We have large cliffs in our backyard with trees on top, so the height of the object was about 200 ft and about 500 ft away. At first, I did not know what I was looking at. I then realized that it was something highly unusual. It had no wings; it was cylindrical and was spinning on its long axis. It was about 10ft long by 5ft wide. It was spinning clockwise. I stepped off the deck and walked into the yard to get a better look of it. What I know now is that it was keeping a consistent height off the ground to the top of the trees, so as it cleared the cliff area it got closer to the ground. I got as close as I could to it and starred at it intensely. It was spinning about one revolution per second and moved i! n a straight line at around five miles per hour. It was completely silent. There was something like a pipe that was on its side that was attached at a slight diagonal. I remember the color as a dark gray and also brown. I watched it as it moved away. Looking at it, I felt a strange sensation of an otherworldly presence. I noticed a part on top of the object that I did not see from the side. The fact that the entire object was spinning leads me to think that it may have been “morphing” or changing shape. The object moved away in a very strait and precise line. It was moving so steadily that it appeared to be shrinking in size opposed to getting farther away. I have never seen anything in the sky travel in such a precise strait line and so smoothly. It traveled across the valley and over the tops of the trees. That was it.
