Northeastern 'Yellow Ball' Orb Sighting
This file is a redacted FBI FD-302 interview report (form FD-302-71) recording a witness's account of unidentified luminous objects. According to the document, the witness returned home in the evening around 9:15pm and, while parking in the driveway, noticed a yellow ball of light about the size of a basketball through the windshield. Upon exiting the vehicle, a second, larger orb about the size of a beach ball was observed. The objects hovered behind a row of trees between the witness's property and a neighbor's property. An agent note estimates the objects were approximately 30 yards away and 20-30 feet above the ground. The witness reported no health issues after the sighting. A second witness came outside and both observed the objects move laterally, passing behind trees and a neighbor's house before one orb reportedly merged into another and disappeared abruptly. The account further states that a few weeks later, several white orbs were seen traveling over the house from west to east at higher altitude than the earlier red/yellow objects. Names and identifying details are redacted throughout. The file was released via the U.S. Department of War as part of a UAP encounter disclosure set.
