Sphere over Cosby, MO

The report, as filed

At approximately 9:30pm on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 three orbs of light were spotted in the southern sky. My mom and dad and younger siblings spotted them first; they then called me out and I saw them. The light orbs formed a staggered line. They emitted a white light that did not change color. They just floated in the air, stationary until the one on the far left disappeared—either literally “winking out” or simply moving further south, away from us at a good speed (it was hard to tell which it was). A couple of minutes later, the next one in line did the same thing. About a minute-90 seconds later, the last one did the same thing. No sound was ever heard at any point of the sighting. None of us had been drinking and none of us take controlled substances and no one in our family has a history of hallucinations or flights of fancy.
