A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I woke to hear a humming noise and thinking it was daytime and went to use the the restroom and realized that it was still night time I went back to my bedroom and saw that it was light outside my room I opened my curtain to see a reddish orange orb/sphere hovering right outside my window about the size of a basketball I closed the curtain real quickly and was scared my curtain wasn't all the way closed and the orb shined a beam of light thru the opening in the curtain and the light hit my wall and I could see a humanoid being in the light on my wall then I opened my curtain and the orb shot up into the sky at a very high rate of speed. All the dogs in the area were barking loudly after this event.
