As reported

Sphere over Doyline, LA

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

The report, as filed

While in a vehicle traveling west to east, an object seemingly nonterrestrial was seen flashing into, and out of, sight. It was an orb, but seemed more asymmetrical or amorphous. Being so distant, the best that can be described as an orb of light. It was bluish-white in color, and became very bright at some points, and completely invisible at others.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179084). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Doyline, LA

I was standing outside my home on the west side smoking a cigarette being directly between my house, and a strip of trees that separates the adjacent home. As I was smoking my cigarette, I noticed what I then believed to be a neighborhood drone, or the direct neighbors drone, meandering in the wood-line approx. 10 yd. high and 12 yds. away. The craft as essentially invisible with a prominent, yet soft, green light at its center. I had guessed the craft was helicoptering to stay aloft, but it made no sound, and no mechanical movement was observed. As I watched it, it became aware of me and began to watch me through the darkness. I felt no danger whatsoever. Soon the light, as it swayed and bobbed almost imperceptibly, hid itself from my direct line of sight by placing a very skinny tree between itself and myself. I honestly found this humorous, as if it were a game, but then I was still thinking it was a drone from a kid. I would walk forward somewhat and again have line-of-sight on the green light, and it again would softly and slowly position itself with another skinny tree between the two of us, perfectly breaking line of sight each time, with no accidental deviance to reveal itself if i stayed stationary. Soon I noticed another green light, higher by 2-3 yds., and closer by 1-2 yds., not trying to hide at all as it entered the area amongst the trees. It was at this moment I began to feel unease. I continued to try and maintain line-of-sight on the first light, but soon it was positioned behind a large tree and I could no longer advance to change my vantage as the bramble of the woods blocked my advance. I wasn't completely done with my cigarette, but I snuffed it anyway as I left with haste to go inside, almost fleeing. Never once did i feel danger, but I was at once put at unease by the appearance of a second light. I also felt as though there were many lights that were unseen, positioned array-like among the trees, yet this is likely to be nothing but paranoia induced by the appearance of the second light. Until Yesterday morning I had forgotten the incident, thinking it nothing more than a childs toy, until I watched the UAP open conference and have come to understand the intensity of our situation as people on a planet among many. I will and can freely admit to any and all experiences related to this matter as truthfully as possible. And, to know, no one in this neighborhood has any drones, and especially not the family and kid nextdoor, as I had assumed at the time, makes me believe it was an UAP. My friend may have been with me, I don’t recall if he was or wasn't.
