Circle over Ellerbe, NC

The report, as filed

He shouted did y'all see that red ball? We looked down toward the ground and didn't see it but a woman who rented a home from him witnessed the single red ball coming from his house crossing the road in front of her car. She called him immediately and asked him what was going on at his house and described the red ball. The next day dad saw a skinny figure with big eyes aprox 2 ft tall standing at the end of his couch. It vanished when he looked directly at it. He was embarrassed to report it. He told family and a few others. He also a similar red ball near Mineral Springs Middle school in Ellerbe moving in a popping motion along the side of the road then crossed over the road moving southward. He has had other strange sightings and actually thinks he was picked on the shoulder while he was lying on his couch. My stepmom told him she hadn't poked him( tapped his shoulder). He had seen a few objects that would vanish or move quickly through the cracked door. Call me if you ! want the carpenter and my dad's addresses. 910 334 9094
