Sphere over Maggie Valley, NC

The report, as filed

While staying in a cabin on Plott Balsam Mountain near the Smokey Mountains and Maggie Valley, NC, we were sitting by the camp fire star gazing and looking for satellites, when we noticed a bright white orb enter the atmosphere closely followed by 4 more white orbs. They were moving roughly South to North in a straight line at the same speed and evenly spaced, they were also the same size. They all remained together at a constant speed and the brightness never dimmed. We watched them for a minute or so when we finally lost sight of them. We discussed the event for a while together and are convinced that what we witnessed was without a doubt, a group of UFO’s. We never felt threatened by the event and in fact feel blessed that we were able to see them.
