Written by AI from official sources, checked against them before publishingHow we do this

This FBI FD-302 form documents an interview with a resident who reported seeing two balls of light in their driveway one evening around 9:15pm. The witness described a smaller yellow orb about the size of a basketball and a larger one about the size of a beach ball, located roughly 30 yards away and 20 to 30 feet above the ground. The objects moved laterally behind trees and a neighbor's house before passing out of view. The document also records the witness's account of related sightings by family members, including white orbs seen weeks later and a 1987 incident involving a red light near power lines.

What did the witness see that evening?

The resident arrived home around 9:15pm and noticed a yellow ball of light through the windshield, about the size of a basketball. After exiting the vehicle, the witness saw a second, larger ball of light roughly the size of a beach ball. Both objects were behind a row of trees between the witness's property and a neighbor's property. According to an agent note, the objects were approximately 30 yards away and 20 to 30 feet above the ground. The witness reported being able to look at the lights without strain or discomfort and stated no health issues or concerns since the sighting.

What happened to the objects?

A family member came outside to view the objects as well. Both witnesses observed the objects move laterally to their left, passing behind a tree approximately 36 yards away at the same height, and continuing behind a neighbor's house and beyond a tree approximately 75 yards away.

Were there other sightings?

The witness stated that a few weeks after the main event, several white orbs were seen traveling from west to east over the house, at a much higher altitude than the earlier red orbs. Additionally, the witness recalled a 1987 incident in which a red light was observed circling around itself at night near power lines, which the witness described as resembling the front end of a vehicle. The witness stated the object hovered and then landed near a power station. The witness noted having been interested in the topic of UAP since that 1987 event.

What evidence was collected?

Photos were taken by agents at the permission of the witness and attached to the interview.
