Unspecified over Madison, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Orbs that appeared during Hurricane Ida, with a lightning storm in the background, but unaffected in the open space we were sitting. No rain, no close lightning. One of the orbs started dancing around itself and in the next video created light and attracted other orbs. Last photo has about 6. It freaked us out at first and then was mostly light energy and seemed very positive… I’m not sure in what order the videos sent, but the first one, and most important seems to be too large and I don’t know how to compress it. Can share in a different manner.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166831). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
