A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Started at 5:20 am to 5:30 am. Sky was clear.Able to see the stars etc. no problem. Objects came from South west and traveled Northeast.Traveled about the speed of the Space station when it crosses the sky.Could tell they were at a pretty high altitude but could easily see the light. Not as bright as Venus,maybe the brightness of a star that was a little further away .They all traveled the same path,but not together.First 2 came singly. Then a cluster of about 5. Then another cluster of about 10+. Then a cluster of about 7...Then a few stragglers of 1 each.The clusters were not in a straight line.Spread apart a bit.Never seen anything like it.Wondered if anyone else reported this or seen it. I've watched the news and Weather channel for a couple days.No reporting of it..Rural area.

On 9/2 at 10:00pm, my best friend and I arrived at the lake for our usual weekend night fishing routine. He has been a contractor all his life and very close minded. He deals in facts. I am open minded, Spiritual/Wiccan. I worked in healthcare all my life. Subcontracting with him when I went through nursing burnout. We have been friends for 35+ yrs. At 5:10am 9/3/22 he happened to be looking at the sky straight out in front of us. I was baiting my hook when he said “Yo! I need you to look at this and tell me if I’m crazy.” When I looked up I immediately saw what he was referencing. A flashing “ball”/“sphere” of light. At times no bigger than a star. I immediately grabbed my phone (IPHONE 12 ProMax) and started recording. It flashed continuously and moved erratically but smoothly up/down L/R like the way we move our hand to write. Staying in the same small area. The times it got smaller/faint it was almost as if it traveled away (backwards). The same applies to when it would appear a little larger. As if moving closer (forward). It never made a sound. We watched it until it literally faded away (farther away) a few minutes before dawn. I immediately called my husband who is from that area to tell him and he was not shocked. He asked if we were in a specific location of the lake. (We were) Because “stuff like that has been seen out there for as long as I can remember.” Try zooming the video in a little to be able to see it when it gets smaller. It does get hard to see at times through the lens.

Looking up in the night sky in Pine Grove I was attempting to watch the metor showers. Looking up, at first I thought I saw two satallites. However they started changing directions and seems too close together to be satatlittes. The two of them would stop then move left then move right. It looked like a light show. They were very high so that is why I thought they were satallites at first. This went on for about 3 min. The dance stopped and they seemed to blend back into the back ground of night stars.

I was outside around 11:00 to view the meteor shower that was to take place this night. As I sat and watched, something caught my attention off to the NW about 15 degrees above the horizon. It was a ball that looked similar to a star however larger. The object had several distinct lights on it, red, green, and white respectively. The lights flashed at irregular intervals as the object moved laterally left and right also irregularly. After about five minutes of trying to figure out what it was, the object shot straight up about 10 more degrees before moving right very abruptly and then shooting straight back down to its original position in the sky. I ran inside to alert my sister who came out and watched with me. For the next half hour or so, we watched the object move irregularly while trying to get the object focused in a telescope. Unfortunately the object was moving too irregularly to keep in frame and we had no more than three seconds at a time of view ! through the scope. It slowly began to fade away and we both thought that it was going to completely disappear however, it came back at a truly unbelievable speed to its original position where it stayed for another five minutes, moving hard left and hard right irregularly. Finally, the object seemed to go directly away from us very fast until completely out of view and this time it did not return. We were both very very skeptical of any kind of alien or supernatural entities to say the least however, this experience has changed our minds considerably. I am a Digital Forensics major going into my senior year. I have dealt with technology all my life and have always had an interest in the viewing of celestial events. I can honestly say I have never ever seen anything like this.
