As reported

Light over Lawrenceville, GA

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was outside in my backyard looking up at the stars and I noticed one that was very bright right above me. It was not the moon or a plane. When I started to look harder at it, I noticed that it was moving around erratically; not like any star I've ever seen before. It was pulsating and moving around crazy. It had a bright aura or glow around it. So I took some videos and pictures and after looking at the pictures and videos close up, it looks pretty wild!!!! I have no idea what it is but it isn't something ive ever seen.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172194). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Definitely inside our atmosphere. I have photos but could get them to upload.

Seen as an orb kind of like a flame splitting in half and then conjoined back together. It looked like the actual stars in sky were moving.

I heard what I thought was a plane flying overhead (which is not uncommon) but it seemed to last for a couple minutes so I went outside on my deck to look but only heard what sounded like a very, loud blow torch in the sky behind my home which backs up to woods. It was very overcast and cloudy so nothing could be seen. This went on for 5-7 minutes. I heard a plane fly over during this time so you can hear the difference. It was not a helicopter which we also hear from time to time. The sound moved away briefly and could still be heard and then returned and stayed for several more minutes and then just stopped. I checked my local neighborhood communication board and there was a similar noise the night before at 10:50pm about 3 miles away. There was also a similar posting from last April. I had not seen these postings before. All were explained as a "Rumbling" in the sky. I have several minutes of video.
