The report, as filed
I live in Tyler county, west Virginia, and this was back on January 1st, 2023. My fiance,and I along with a friend ,was driving home on January 1st, 2023, when around 6:30 pm , I first noticed what looked to me as a stars showering down straight to the ground. or what we thought were stars was in fact something the three of us have never witnessed on this earth ever. while driving I confirmed with the other 2 people in the car if they were seeing what I was seeing, they also confirmed it.it looked like a bunch of stars shooting downward to the tree tops. When we got close enough to be able to see what it was, they were not stars . I stopped the vehicle all 3 of us jumped out on the road amazed by what was really happening,trying to grasp the reality of the situation. My fiance had recorded a few videos i knew that we had got some good evidence. After going over them when I made it home we were truly amazed by what was captured on video.

I was getting something out of the back of my vehicle around midnight, on may 29th a very clear night no cloud coverage. When I just happened to look up ,and this pulsating white orb comes out of the ground,making no noise at all I couldn't tell if I was actually seeing this or was my mind playing tricks on me. So I ran inside got 2 other people who also confirmed they was seeing the exact same thing that what I was seeing was real .I recorded 4 minutes of the orb just floating around not making any noise at all. I got very anxious overwhelmed,and nauseous and began vomiting,having my fiance take the phone because I was no longer able to record the orb due to vomiting. After 4 minutes or so the white orb turned bright orange and was gone. That's all you saw was a the white orb turned bright orange and was gone in the blink of an eye at a very high rate of speed.
